Shiv, Well yu are right probably, but I just let it go; I currently have other, more important things to do (including to find cheaper deals:-). I again agree theoretically artists are universal, but there are discriminations everywhere, including in arts and among artists, so I prefer to be realistic. Probably most world famous artists might have occasionally changed their citizenships but not tried deliberately to hide their birthplace. Again, as some folks have mentioned, it is Udit's business first and foremost, and also Udit needs to live and earn too, so he might have knowingly lied too. We should still consider Udit as ours, even if he himself does not any longer be called Nepali. He is a star singer foremost, but again for us nepalese a star nepalese singer. We should embrace him, like we embrace Budhha no matter what Budhha would have called himself if he had been alive now. I'd not consider Udit has betrayed us or let us down. It seems it is the other way round. These are all realities mother Nepal has to witness and has not been able to do anything but look on. Many many Udit may have cursed Nepal in the past and will in future but is it not we Nepalese who should make our mother Nepal proud of herself rather than the other way round? There will certainly be a lot more Nepalese who may ask , "Why we should make Nepal proud when the whole world is getting smaller, more consolidate and intertwined and global?" But I'm sure if you ask an American, you are bound to get a proud answer. And another question I also ask myself, "Why do I care now that I'm changing my citizenship?" I wish I could make Nepal proud but I'm also fast disappearing into an oblivion. And another is, "Why should we Nepalese be successful? Why should I be successful when many other Nepalese are already successful?" What I personally see in these questions is a climax of pessimism rather than blissfulness. Well forgive me if I sound a little senti, we need a thousand of successful, hard-working artists like Udit Narayan and I'd like to salute him. Our duty is to convince many many of those Udits that whatever they are doing will be counted, if not now, then in future as contributions to their motherland.
