I was thinking to start a thread " Who is not happy"? But again I changed my mind and I am writing to this anti-prashant thread. I called it anti-prashant thread because this thread was started to oppose the emotional support to prashant stating him as a NON-NEPALI. Tell me brothers who are for this thread " Are you not happy because Prashant became Indian Idol? Tell me I am Indian agent or I am brain washed by Indian commercial programme! I don't deny Sony Entertainment Company generated a huge amount of money from this Indian Idol programme. Obviously many Nepalese speaking people in India and Prashant's supporter including student and workers around the globe extended their hand of support by money and SMS votes. Now tell me what is the value of higher morale we got from his victory? In compare with his return, our help is nothing! No doubt a lot of things have to be done to uplift our country. But lets do what we can do for now. Again this shows Nepali solidarity. Do you think Nepal can be developed without Nepalese solidarity? Look we don't need dollars to build ourselves, our sukas and anas are enough to make a change. Am I trying to taking "Bharat ki Shaan" as a credit for our patriotism? No, absolutely not! I am just intending to show the nature and unity of strength among Nepalese brothers. I don't have answer if you say it requires Nepalese Citizenship to be Nepali. Otherwise why don't you feel proud if a winner of a very popular TV show cheer up to the crowed with DHAKA TOPI. Don't you think he not only got respect for himself but also he shares his respect to every nepalese around the globe including Nepalese speaking DARBAN AND RIKSHAWALA. If you are still not happy after Prashant's victory, I either call your patriotism false or you cannot cheer up when the world is smiling at you.
