I also believe in the same way as you do. I am not praising myself or may   be i am  stupid to say this in this forum but i came from pakha. I was almost street children with nothing to loose once upon a time. Now, here I am in US. About to finish my grad.So, when I read these words so cheaply used, I fell sorry for those people who thinks they are superior than other. My childhood wasnt like most of yours. By the time some of you sleep in comfortable bed in your Ac room, I had problem in finding the place to rest my body.  so the graph of life is not always linear. You may in the position you never thought about. I just finished reading a book by Hari Bansha Achary ( china harayeko manchhe).I suggest you guys to read that.

साझा प्रयोगकर्ताहरुलाई अनुरोध: निश्चय पनि 'पाखे' र 'खाते' शब्द को शाब्दिक अर्थ kiddoले बताए जस्तै हो । तर यो निश्चित बर्ग र अवस्था जनाउन प्रयोग गरिने शब्दहरुलाई साझामा केही प्रयोगकर्ताहरुले चाहिने भन्दा बढी नै दुरुपायोग गरेका छन् । यी यस्ता प्रयोगकर्ताहरु हुन् जसले लामो समयसम्म नियमित रुपमा एउटा निकृष्ठ विचारधाराको प्रतिनिधित्व गर्दै आइरहेका छन् र लाग्दछ यिनीहरुको नाम कुनै प्रयोगकर्ताको नाम नभएर एउटा कुविचारको नाम हो । १) नेपाली आमाको कोखबाट जन्म लिएर अनि नेपाल आमाको काखमा हुर्केर आज अमेरिका ( पाखा ) मा बस्न र अलिकती मिठो खान पायो भन्दैमा आफ्नो मातृभूमीलाई जथाभावी गाली गर्ने "पाखे" अर्थात गोरिकोपोइ । अब साझामा जो सुकै नेपाली प्रयोगकर्ता आए पनि यदी उसले नेपाल र नेपालीलाई गाली गर्दै अमेरिका र अमेरिकी जनताको अनावश्यक गुनगान गाउछ भने त्यसलाई गाली गर्न यो वाक्यशं प्रयोग गरौ: थुइक्क गोरिकोपोइ... २) आफ्नो सोच्ने क्षमता कत्ति पनि नभएको "खाते" आफ्ना नेताहरुले रटाएको भरमा दुनियाँ माथि केही सोचविचार नै नगरि घ्रिणाको बिष वमन गर्ने 'खाते' अर्थात आशिसमे । अब देखि साझामा जसले कुनै पनि सोचविचार नगरी जथाभावी बिष वमन गर्दै लेख्छ त्यसलाई गाली गर्न यो वाक्यशं प्रयोग गरौ: थुइक्क आशिसमी....

The real pakheys are those who are from the city and call others pakhey but they themselves are some losers with a pathetic undergrad degree or no degree and are proud of making 10 bucks an hours working for some south asian. Some local guy from ktm asked me once " what the potato tree looked like" that was pretty pakhey for me.

SAP Dude · May 29, 2013 4:29 PM

Much respect to you geet_sangeet. Tiger, as always, very well put. SAP Dude, I think I agree with your sentiments. Although, I still won't use that word for anybody. Like Geology Tiger said, let's call them somebody else instead of Khate and Pakhey. Texasranger, I'd respond to you. But then you will get hurt and start calling me names and not even care to think about what you are saying. So what's the point? Just try to understand the difference between "khatey", "Pakhey" and other colorful words you picked and you will understand what most of us are talking about here. But then again, a kid who watches the video (or even knows about the video) you posted, can probably not understand the argument.

Kiddo · May 29, 2013 4:46 PM

Kiddo, I like the word Pakhey...but i use it differently. A pakhey to me is the person who refuses to intake "information" and come up with his own prejudgement/steriotypes and thinks himself higher than the others. From my experience, most pakheys do come from the cities. A fking "kuwa ko bhaguto" pakhey who thinks higer of himself for being born in the city but has zero knowledge of the world and the surroundings. Khate on the other hand stands for a "bum" and we have lots of Khates who also qualify to be called pakhey that hail from the cities. Those khates live off of their roomates, girlfriend, or their parents money. They do not have permanent address and if someone does not take care of them they become bum/khate. Homeless children on the streets are not the real khates its the ones who always find a host to live off of. Last edited: 29-May-13 05:04 PM

कुन शब्द कहा, कसरी र कुन बेला र प्रयोजनको लागि प्रयोग गरिएको छ तेस्मा भर पर्छ | कुनै बेला बिस्वबिधालयका गुरुले त सब्दको प्रयोग गर्थे : उनको बोलाईमा अपनत्व भरिएको हुन्थ्यो शब्दमा मिठास भरिको हुन्थ्यो अनि कसैले उनको बोलि मा ध्यान दिएनन तर अर्को गुरु को उस्तै बोलाइमा कन्सिरी तताई हुन्थ्यो | मेरो बिचारमा नया मुल्लाह ज्यादा प्याज खाता है भने जस्तै हो | अरुलाई खच्खाएर कुरा गरे ठुलो हुइञ्छ भन्ने मनस्थिति बोकेका हरुको मपाइ पन देखाउने माध्यम मात्रै हो | यिनी हरुको दिमाग  कुकुरको पुच्छर झैँ छ : न पहिले सोझियो न यो धागोले सोझाउछ |

"Kathmandu was like a Pakha." होइन नि kiddo तेस्तो त | अब सब्दिक अर्थमा नै जाने हो भने त काठमाडौँको वरिपरिका डाडाहरु लाई काठ/पाखा भन्न सकिन्छ , अनि जसले जे भने पनि अलि पहिलासम्म केहीलाई छाडेर काठ तिर बस्ने हरु काठमाडौँ खाल्डोमै बस्नेहरु भन्दा अलि कम नै पढे लेखेका हुन्थे | काठमाडौँ बाहिरको कुरा गर्दा तल समथर बेसी र तुलनात्मक रुपले बिकसित र सुबिस्था हुने  ठाउमा बस्नेले डाडाको पाखामा बस्नेहरु लाइ पाखे भनेको पनि सुनेको हो | तर यी सब कुरा छोडेर magorkhe ले भनेको कुरा ठिक लाग्यो, बिसय र सन्दर्भ अनुसार यी सब्द प्रयोग गर्दा सारै offensive मान्नु पर्दैन जस्तो लाग्छ | अनि public फोरम मा दुइ चार जना पागल हरुले जे भने पनि एकदम दिमाग तताएर लौ एस्तो लेखाई ले त देशकै बेइजत भयो , प्रादेशिक, जातीय सद्भाव बिग्रियो भनेर टेन्सन लिनु पर्छ जस्तो लाग्दैन |

nepalilaure Educate me here. When somebody says Danda-Pakha, Danda means hills and Pakha means the plain below the hill; isn't it? I wouldn't call Kathmandu a hill, it's a valley and is surrounded by hills. So wouldn't it be more close to being called a Pakha? Let me know if I got this wrong. I am afraid you guys aren't getting our gist here. I agree with magorkhe in that you can't take everything said in literal meaning. I use swear words every now and then myself. The point we were trying to make was that "Pakhe" and "Khate" shouldn't be an offensive word as it is now being used. Would you agree? I mean, why a geographic orientation should be a bad thing? Also, why is Khate a bad thing?? My point is that the people who use it as derogatory terms appear to me are the ones they are referring to (in this context, one who lags behind the modern pace of the world). I have never heard these words said in an educated/sophisticated circle.

Kiddo · May 29, 2013 9:17 PM

मेरो बिचारमा यो पाखे भन्ने सब्द पहिला 'association विथ geographical location ' कै आधारमा प्रचलनमा आएको हो | पछि पछि अलिकति आधुनिक रहन सहन र व्यवहार नजानेको मान्छेलाई यो प्रयोग हुन थाले पछि offensive लाग्न थालेको हो | अनि kiddo , मेरो बिचारमा जसरी काठमाडौँ बाहिर समथर बेसी भन्दा माथि तिर डाडाको बस्तीहरूलाई पाखा भनिन्छ , तेस्तै काठमाडौँ वरिपरिका डाडाहरुको 'sloppy ' भागलाई पाखा भन्छन | proper काठमाडौँ खाल्डो त पाखा होइन जस्तो लाग्छ |
