rather than misplaced nationalism...why don't you talk about recovered identity. Most of the bloggers here are not in Nepal..so does that mean we question their nationalism even though the identity they maintain is very Nepali Centric and perhaps their legal documents show otherwise...? People trave where personal and professional opportunities wait for them...so however they want to relate with their identity is their business..in Prashant's case, proudly he has showcased his orgiin..singing songs like "yo man ta Nepali ho" and wearing Nepali topi with pride... First he is a good singer and second he is a Nepali. He couldn't have reached the heights if he was just a Nepali with a shit voice. We relate to him coz we speak the same language.. and esp during these times we are DESPERATE to identify with personalities that inspire us. So any time we hear of personalities like him or recently Mahabir Pun...it reminds us that there is hope.. so lets take his win to remind us that we can work collaboratively and invest our efforts for better cause... He gave us a reason to be optimistic and reason to unite... How we take this experience is up to us!
