nepali singers should have the first rights on nepali songs...I have nothing against dhotis singing in our language, but not at our expense. I still remember the days when all our movies recorded their songs in bombay, and they paid top dollars for the dhoti singers to sing since they could not afford to transport our narayan gopals, our deep shresthas , our prakash shresthas and our kumar basnets---finally someone had the good sense to get Prakash shrestha to sing in Kanchhi, and get Narayan dai to sing in Lahure and Chino, and guess what if you remember all our hit nepalese movie songs, most have been sung by nepalese ( and yes Udit Narayan falls in this category too)--- I am not trying to prove a point, all I am saying is we seem to be getting trapped in this 'bahadur' mentality, where we feel anything a dhoti does is superior to what we do. I challenge that notion. Peace.
