Gorkhali-X, Yeah! I remember the 'Dhoti' Economic Embargo days. Cooking oil, Petrol, diesel's price had skyrocketed. People had to stand on lines to get SUGAR, GAS etc., etc. Our people had a very tough year. OK! if you close down all the borders with India, do you have any alternate suggestions? Where will all the neccessary commodities come from? CHINA I suppose. We'll bring all stuffs from SHANGHAI via TIBET.Is such option feasible? Also remember we have millions of nepalis staying and working in India,and they are doing good there. If India decides to send more than 1 crore people of Neaplie origin back home then what you will do? Will you provide them employment? KHANA, LATTA-KAPADA & SHELTER? Also most of us except people of Tibetan origins and few others are of DHOTI origin. Newars, Bahun, Chetri can trace their roots to some part of the Indian Subcontinent. Likewise, Gurung and other ethnic people must have migrated from some Northeast part of India (my own hypothesis,please correct me if i'm wrong). the language which most of us speak, Nepali, whatever you might say is PAHADI HINDI. It is an offshoot of hindi. We go to CHARDHAM -Kedarnath, Badri,Prayag, in India to seek our gods. I have seen in Panauti, the newar kings had made the CHARDHAM right on the banks of a small river flowing in Panuati, so their subjects didnot have to travel all the way to India. There is political boudary between Nepal and Indial, otherwise, I see none. Lastly, pleawse enlighten me SIR, how we can survive without INDIA?
