Never ceases to amaze me how much we try to hold on to our non existent national pride. Other nations have achievements they can proud of. Japan for example has achieved so much in the last few decades in the field of technology. India has achieved a lot with regards to it's national growth. China has more than quadrupled its living standards in the past few decades.

We Nepalese have Mount Everest - which we didn't really achieve. It was just there from the beginning. The next thing in our national pride list is Buddha - we didn't really achieve Buddha he just happened to be born in an area which was not even Nepal back then. And to make matters worse he actually became a Buddha in India. Besides these two major source of pride for us, the next one in line is the Veer Gorkhali pride. I know it's Bir and not Veer but Veer makes it easy for me to say Veer bata khaseko Gorkhali.

With new information out on the brainwashing tactics of the Shah banshi raja - rajautas. The so called self proclaimed re-incarnation of lord Vishnu, just happens to be a self preserving self serving tactics used by the Shah clan to spray dust in the eyes (arka ko akha ma dhulo jhoknu) of the mere commonners who deserve to be fooled and misled for blindly believing in such hogwash. Gorkha itself gained popularity due to Mr. shree paanch maharajhadhiraja prithvi narayan shah dev and whose descendants including himself made sure his lineage would continue to suppress and rule over the common masses by instilling the grand ode to oneself as in I am Prithvi Narayan Shah from Gorkha and we are Veer Gorkhalis. If it was not for PNShah there would not be any Veer Gorkhalis. If PN Shah's encroachments had not succeeded, we'd probably be saying Veer bata khaseko Gorkhalis but thanks to their great PR and Marketing for his subsequent generation we are still singing songs of glory. Can we even believe our history with so much mixture inducted in it without a doubt to glorify the Shah bansh from Gorkha?

I don't mean to hit the raw nerve or fragile national ego of some of you but just felt like venting out a little when I keep hearing about the Veer gorkhalis. As we have removed the Shah kings photo from the currency, removed the his majesty's from our government names, are we being selective in keeping the Gorkhali Shah king's tradition of Veerta in search of our national pride still? Or it could be that I am missing something too.
