@Ujl,
It is not about what you can get from it. It is about "Right" and "Wrong". I think it is a common sense which most Nepali people lack. The only thing we tend to understand is if we get some tangible benefits from it. By your logic, if we are not going to get anything from it. Why not say "Kathmandu is a part of India", why not "Mt. Everest is in India", why not " Laxmi Prashad Devkota is an Indian", why not "Pashupati is in India". Where do you stop and say it is wrong? If you say any of the above statement (which you know are false) and pretend it is not a big deal, will it matters. So by your logic, the only time you will stand up and defend it is when it will bring electricity, eliminate poverty and stop corruption. Do you get the logic? To reclaim a part of our history and set the record straight, yes it will not give us (you in this case) gold and silver, but will add to the very few things we have and are proud of. We are not telling a lie, but standing up for a truth. Is it that difficult to understand?

Being poor does not mean we will have to sell our soul, what is rightfully ours is ours even if it worth nothing. Maybe not to you now, someday your future generation will make something out of it, will be proud of you.

Don't you think you're being too negative, doubtful and cynical of Nepal people? Things are changing and we can't stop because of the past experience.
