          I was born in Nepal...my dad was born in Nepal too..but probably my grandfather migrated from India..my mom is an 

Indian..though she has a Nepali citizenship now...some of my siblings were born in India too..but anyways, they all are 
 
Nepali too..my home is just a few miles away from India..if the roads were good we'll probably get there (India) in 
 
minutes...very large part of my family is Indian...we speak hindi to communicate..if we talk to relatives we speak in 
 
hindi...we can speak nepali too but we dont choose to..it just doesn't feel natural when we communicate in nepali..i speak 
 
maithili, nepali, hindi or english whatever is required..shreeman gambhir made me feel proud..but jana gana mana gives me 
 
goosebumps too..i don't create those goosebumps intentionally though..it comes naturally..here in the US, when someone asks 
 
me "what are you? an Indian?"..i do not hesitate to say yes..

          i went to Kathmandu after my SLC for +2..the first thing was to find a room to stay..me and my friends would walk all day 
 
looking for rooms..you know how hard it is..we saw there was no curtain on a window..we stepped inside that house..we saw the 
 
owner sitting in her balcony..we asked politely, "aunty kotha khali cha?"..she replied "cha tara madhesi lai na dine"...we 
 
were speechless...walked out with our hearts in our throats..but we kept looking..and one very nice aunty let us stay in her 
 
house..we knew not all of them are same so we weren't hopeless..i wish they would understand too that not all of us are 
 
same..

          people have called me 'dhoti' several times..whats wrong with dhoti? you will wear it too if you had to farm in scorching sun 
 
of terai..anyways..i dont get bothered by their ignorance..i wonder if they are burnt in daura suruwal or the same dhoti in 
 
their funeral..there are a lot more stories about the 2nd degree treatment we get in Nepal..at the same time when we go to 
 
India..they can't even tell we are from Nepal..when we go to a hotel in India..and they say "kya haal hai bhaiya? 
 
baithiye..boliye kya lau khaane me?"...what can i say it feels like home and like we are their brothers..and remember there 
 
are thousands like me in Nepal who feel this very same way..even here when I meet any Indian they treat me like a family 
 
member..
 
          I have a friend..his name is Ricardo (Ricky) Fernandes..he was born here..so he is an American..he has a lot of benefits of 
 
being a hispanic..so many scholarships and financial aids are just a few to name..his parents migrated here some 40 years 
 
ago..they can speak english but not so fluent..but its not a problem for them at all..because wherever they go there is 
 
someone to help them with a 'hablo espanol' badge on their t-shirt..when they have to call any customer service..this is what 
 
the hear "marque dos para el español"..our grandparents won't go to any office by themselves...because they won't understand 
 
Nepali and there will be no office to help them in Hindi..my friend also has a tat on his arms..it says 'viva mexico'...he is 
 
an American though...he was born here..the way they live is so mexican..when they communicate with family or relatives or 
 
friends they dont speak english..they speak spanish...but they are Americans...Ricky says he is a mexican...but he is an 
 
American..as a matter of fact one of my American friends once told me that she was 25% each of Ukranian, German, Lithuanian 
 
and American..Yes I was born in Nepal. I am a Nepali! But, I'm also half-indian!
 
 
          Hispanics are here in a very large number..they are important for America..so they are not ignored..America didn't even had 
 
to give them a separate state..but still they are happy here..and proud to be Americans of Hispanic ethinicity...we are also 
 
in a large number in Nepal..but we are ignored..by the government..by the people...roots are roots guys...stop making your 
 
own people feel like foreigners in their own land..Nepal is as much ours as it is yours..you can't change a person..I'd hate 
 
to see Nepal divided furthermore..but why can't we follow the path of 'Unity in Diversity' like the great nation of US..like the great

nation of India..
 
Jai Nepal! Jai Hind!

Another reason why some( may be not all) Nepalese people dislike "Hindian rooted people" bacause they never embrace or fully tried to appreciate Nepali culture,language and belifs.It seems that this thread inventer gave pretty much candid descriptions.he said that he speak God-damn Hindi language even though he should be speaking "Maithili"( i suppose, which is very different than hindi and  is their mother tongue) and moreover,he probably never tried to speak Nepali language properly with his friends and families.Probably he hates "Nepali posakh and dhaka topi" but love to wear "Dhoti" and funny looking Indian white topi, a resemblance of Dhaka Topi.He may love "Dewali and other Indian festival"  rather than "Dashain and Tihar". Perhaps,he is fond of Indi T.V. channel and serials and  may never watched Nepali serial and/or News etc. He also mentioned about some Spanish people here in USA.They have the similar problem.They discourse in Freakin Spanish language instead of English.They don't even attempt to speak in english.discuss matters loudly in  an annoying manner with some kind of  funny accent. People like me, who are not native to this nation, are upset of this spanish drama;you can only imagine, how the english speaking americans feel about them.This is one reason that ; why majority of Americans show animosity towards spanish population both legal or illigal.They failed to embrace, respect and  mingle with the people,language and culture of this host nation. Because of this, English speaking population wildly assumes and behaves them as foreigners/illigals and discriminates in some cases even though, they are Legal American citizens.In nepal we have similar situation.They failed to embrace and mingle with the majority of population. Until recently because of education and other opportunities many migrated in cities,like kathmandu,pokhara,lalitpur and so on, and slowly intermingling. there will be some "culture clash" situation and we will get to read/listen many stories like the one posted in thread above.
 
Another thing that people call you "madhesiiiiz" ---because you guys are from Madesh pradesh,"Dhotiiiz"--because you wear them,and people didn't have other name to identify them  in the past so, they chose "Dhoti lagako manchhe" (i guess) and abbreviated as "Dhoti" later on---So there's no need to feel shame for those name. There are similar name for people from  every other castes.....................
