The way I look at it - how about voting for Prashant because he sings well? That's the best reason to vote for him IMO. And that's the reason he might just become the Indian Idol. I doubt if Nepali votes will carry him over at this stage. BTW, isn't Amit Paul also from the Northeast? I heard someone mention he too has Nepali heritage on one of his parent's sides. Vote your hearts out - may the best man win. :)
