 First, I didn't say I am the only true Gorkhali. I just didn't like the fact that you thought I was arashtriya.. well, since you have not broken any more 'sinko' (in the tradition of sinko bhachne) than I or any other democrat, you are no more deserving of using the word arashtriya against me as if you have been working on the border of the country all your life defending her honor.



Second, I don't like it when people use nationalism when talking about internal issue (democracy).  Democracy is a debate about how to define our one-Nepali-to-another-Nepali relationship. Are we equal within the country? Are we supposed to be screwed by same family over and over? Should we be subject and others master for generations? On the other hand, Nationalism is about our relationship with the foreigners. These two are distinct issues but mandales like you want to consolidate them in one, because you think using nationalism somehow gives you guys a pretext to undermine democracy.



Third, I don't give a hoot about winning debate here, or becoming more popular. I comment when I like, I ignore when I don't like. I express my views because I believe on them, not because I want others to support them. If you are right, people will eventually see your right side. Sajha always gave me this freedom to express myself without having to do the face-to-face bajhabajh. And I truly believe that behind the closet lies a face of mandale when we see the likes of you or Shantipriya.

[IF YOUR 6 GENERATIONS SERVED IN THE ARMY, THEN YOU SHOULD ASK YOURSELF, DID YOU SERVE COUNTRY, PEOPLE LIKE DALIT , RAI , LIMBU, MADHESI, DOWNTRODDEN OR DID YOU SERVE ROYALS? My ancestors served our country and our people. I am sure when my ancestor died, he hoped to see an equal society for all in the country they created.]
