Ramesworji,
In no way do I have any disrespect towards Anuradha Koirala and I have the utmost pride and respect for her. It's just the way Nepalis play out unfairly in international contests that I find ethically questionable.
Are we Nepalis so destitute and desperate that we have to employ unethical means to put our country's name in the map? No wonder Nepal will always be centuries behind in democracy.
As you made an accusation on Nepalese, I'm also going to accuse you of being a jealous leg-puller.
It seems that you were the one who defined the word 'democracy' with your following statement:
No wonder Nepal will always be centuries behind in democracy.
Can you please let me know if the definition of 'unfair' is different for you as well? How on earth is it unethical to campaign and cheer for the candidate I like?
There has been a huge hue and cry over voting for Anuradha Koirala. Even Nepali news channels were running scrolling text promotions to encourage people to vote for her solely because she is Nepali. Unfairness seems to be the running trend whenever it comes to voting be it Prashant Tamang or Anuradha Koirala.
You seem to very naive by pulling Prashant Tamang here. Do you really follow the 'Indian Idol' or you're dragging him here because of your jealousy for him too?
Do you think that most of the residents from the village or town of these contestants weren't biased in the favor of their town guy?
You're a laughing stock with your following statement:
In the western world, voting is a basic expression of democracy, but alas Nepalis are still centuries away from learning the true meaning of the word. If CNN finds out the extent Nepalis went to get her voted such as advertisement on national nepalese TV, they would without a doubt disqualify her.
Didn't CNN say that a person can vote as many times as I want?
Please show me where it is mentioned that cheering and asking for their favorable nominee will lead to disqualify the contestant?
You went to very extreme by saying that CNN will disqualify her. I bet that the percentage of votes of indian origin for the indian guy would be more than that of Nepali origin.
In no way do I have any disrespect towards Anuradha Koirala and I have the utmost pride and respect for her. It's just the way Nepalis play out unfairly in international contests that I find ethically questionable.
Are we Nepalis so destitute and desperate that we have to employ unethical means to put our country's name in the map? No wonder Nepal will always be centuries behind in democracy.
Come on brother! Let's celebrate one of the rarest occasions when Nepalese bags the international prize and let's not drag this into controversy. If you still believe it's ethical, I'll be waiting for your response.
