I find it funny that people make a big deal about this issue. I am not a supporter of India myself but I find it weird that some people are just so obsessed with their anti-Indian sentiments! India is a big country next to us and we do share some cultural similarity with them so it is understandable that some of us showcase hindi dances in events. I don't like it personally but would you have been so pissed if it was someone rapping to the tunes of JayZ?

I think the worst thing in the world is "aggressive nationalism" and our aggressive nationalism lies in the fact that our default mode is "Anti India". They have a lot of political saying in our country and they are meddlesome but it is because we are next to them and the world is not fair. If we had a sea route, we would not be so controlled. Therefore, stop bitching about how you hate Indians and stuff because that does not change anything.

Of course, it would be better if she had danced in a Nepali song but she did not. So let it be!

Another thing that I would like to address is our obsession with greatness of Nepal based on land topography. We are proud of Sagarmatha and how Buddha was born in Nepal (even though he was enlightened in India and back in the day, there was no Nepal or no India)! We are proud of the fact that Nepal is the second biggest country in the world interms of water resources (which is unsubstanciated claim that was started in the Panchayat Era where everything about Nepal was glorified). Why can't we be proud of our people in the present and not have to base our nationalism on freaking land? I mean.. We could be proud of that doctor who won the Magasasay Award for making a new method of treating the eye or great writers like Laxmi Prasad Devkota. But Mount Everest? C'mon.....
