AFNU  HAJUR BA HAJUR AMA LAI KEHI NASODHE PANI   SAJHA KO SAP LE   MICHEAL JACKSON KO BARE MA CHAHI SODHNA BHYAYECHA.

1.  Nepal  bhanda aru dherai desh cha. Many football crazy nation will know pele maradona. I think in nepal pele maradona is more household name than michael jackson.  You were probably born in 1980's when jackson was hit. But before that there have been person who had world wide reputation. Elvis had unprecedented success. His popularity waned after he died. Same thing with beatles. Jackson populartiy will also not remain as it was today.  For future generation jackson will be just like what is elvis is to us.

 I am myself from village of Nepal. I dont think many old people knows about micheal jackson. But with the introuduction of television and world cups from NTV many people do know famous footballers.

2. Famous does not mean known.   Hitler is well known but is he famous? No.  He is infamous.  Many people who know michael jackson don't like his music. Many people don't like his personality and brand him as pedophile.
