I had quite many friends from Jhapa and i feel they are in general exaggerate, lie, makeup the stories and try to show up rich and smart. This is almost like their culture and most people there may not feel any thing out of it. I had talked this with my Jhapali friends they some how agree with it as well.

I always wondered why exactly it happened much earlier in Jhapa than in rest of the Nepal (I think all the people in Nepal from every part are becoming similar to Jhapali nowadays). I think it happened in jhapa much earlier because Jhapa was the first migration hub from mountains. When people from different place migrate to other place they dont know each other. Their history, and family background are unknown to each other. In that case how much you can impress others, by what ever means, becomes your prestige or background and so on. Since no one knew other people around them, they could not trust each other, so they fall in social trap of showcasing extra prestige by exaggerating, making up things and cheating. Once this momentum sets in society, even the people who otherwise honest get carried way in the flow.
