Kanchu!, 

I understand what you are trying to say and respect your sentiments towards our own culture and identity. Like you I also grew up together with many Nepalese Muslims who could speak Nepali and Newa.ri better than me. For that matter I also have many Marwari and Sikh friends who possess the same quality. Don't take me wrong, but what I got from Poonte and what I actually believe, is the fact that we somehow are imposing "our view" of nationality to everyone. 
 
And oh yes, what the pic shows above, it is wrong. They are not allowed to enter Mecca the way they are dressed. :-)
