@Facebook. Prashna ramro ra sahi chha. The only exception I took was with your labelling of the non-followers as "wanna-bes," without even knowing why they are doing it. Have you considered that they might believe in a bigger world model? Have you considered that their idea of preserving their culture is not constrained by language or clothing? You gave examples of jews, Those Jews you are referring to are Hasidic Jews. Are you saying only hasidic jews preserved Jewish culture. Have you considered American Jews are equally preserving their heredity/identity and culture without being constrained by hebrew language or black hat and suit? Their support for Israel and their culture is still strong even when they don't look and appear different from any other Americans. Think about it.

Ho Kiddo bro , thats the point. they do support their culture even though they dont dress up like that. they do teach their child their languages and culture. What about those "wanna be" from ours, they dont speak nepali bwtween nepali , they dont teach Nepali language/culture to their kids and most important they goes here are there talking about sh!t about own nation , religion and culture. I am talking against them?

Facebook brother. I guess you were talking about the other group then. While I see your point, I can't say they are doing it wrong as I certainly don't want to be the judge of right and wrong thing. Yes, it looks ridiculous at times; it makes me wonder, like you, why our culture is not like others; but then I think that's their life. Let them live the way they want to. How about you and I and others who think alike keep doing what we believe in? My identity is with my culture so I will preserve it however I think is right.

Facebook, I'm really interested to know the meaning of "wannabe" in your vocabulary. I think you're using it too loosely.

Don't know much about other stuff, but one thing is for sure, many Nepalese parents get so proud when their toddlers speak English. These people don't know once their child go to school they will speak as good as native american (didn't mean Red Indians). I and my wife talk to our son in Nepalese and we do our best to teach all Nepalese culture and religion. That doesn't mean we are trying to make him a typical Nepalese, he was born here and lives here rest of his life. DON'T WE WANT INDIAN-NEPALESE'S (madhesis) CHILDREN TO BE A 'TYPICAL NEPALESE' ? THEN WHY SO MUCH FUSS ON THIS ISSUE??

आफु को हु को पहिचान आफैलाई नभए पछि आफ्नो पहिचान आफुले आदर्स ठानेको मानिसको सहारा लिन्छन | तपाइले चिन्नु भएको छैन त्यो आदर्स व्यक्ति : यो उसको हैन तपाइको प्रोब्लेम हो | He or she is trying to acquire new status. नजाने गाउको बाटै नसोध्नु : किन बन्न खोज्यो तेस्को जड खोज्नु भएको भए सायद यो उत्तर पनि पाउनु हुन्थ्यो !
