Sajha viewers, This is Priyanka Karki again. I was reading all the comments and threads that were related to me and my performance at the University of North Alabama. It really broke my heart to read everything that was written!! First of all my sincere apologies to everyone who have been hurt by my act. Being just 21, there were a couple of issues that I could not address with intelligence and truly from heart i would like to say 'I am sorry'. After all I am only human and human beings do make mistakes. When Global Culture Night happened in The University of North Alabama, I was firstly approached by the president of the Indian Student organisation to do a performance. He had told me to 'dance in a Bollywood number'. So actually I did not have a choice. I rather took it as a platform to showcase my talent and did not realize the issues and questions that it would raise later. Nothing was intentional and I am really sorry to everyone whom I have hurt. I love my country and I always will. We have Global Cultural Night on April 18th 2009 again and this time I promise I will make all of you proud by my performance. Straight from my heart, one last time 'Sorry everyone' and Thank you Nas for your immense support. Priyanka Karki

I donno why we are paying so much attention to this when there are lot of other important issues. I think she has apologized in public and thats a brave and smart thing she could have ever done. Please do not make  great deal out of it. And if it was all about this patriotic crap .....then please stop this nonsense and ask yourselves WHAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR YOUR COUNTRY instead of pointing blame on others..

Changing your name to Nepali Premi does not exemplify that you love your country. May be you should change your name to Hippocrate Nepali

I find it funny that people make a big deal about this issue. I am not a supporter of India myself but I find it weird that some people are just so obsessed with their anti-Indian sentiments! India is a big country next to us and we do share some cultural similarity with them so it is understandable that some of us showcase hindi dances in events. I don't like it personally but would you have been so pissed if it was someone rapping to the tunes of JayZ? I think the worst thing in the world is "aggressive nationalism" and our aggressive nationalism lies in the fact that our default mode is "Anti India". They have a lot of political saying in our country and they are meddlesome but it is because we are next to them and the world is not fair. If we had a sea route, we would not be so controlled. Therefore, stop bitching about how you hate Indians and stuff because that does not change anything. Of course, it would be better if she had danced in a Nepali song but she did not. So let it be! ---------------- Another thing that I would like to address is our obsession with greatness of Nepal based on land topography. We are proud of Sagarmatha and how Buddha was born in Nepal (even though he was enlightened in India and back in the day, there was no Nepal or no India)! We are proud of the fact that Nepal is the second biggest country in the world interms of water resources (which is unsubstanciated claim that was started in the Panchayat Era where everything about Nepal was glorified). Why can't we be proud of our people in the present and not have to base our nationalism on freaking land? I mean.. We could be proud of that doctor who won the Magasasay Award for making a new method of treating the eye or great writers like Laxmi Prasad Devkota. But Mount Everest? C'mon.....
