Wheel, Which Gandhi Ashram did your mother attend? Sabarmati Ashram? If the premise that Parmendra is more Indian than others just because he happens to be from the Terai (i.e. ethnically a Madhise), holds true, then it should also hold the same for King G. After all, his great-grand mother, mother of Grivanyugdha Shah, was a maitheli jha bramhani, a madhisini, as you would have liked to call her. Likewise, his grandmother, King Mahendra's mother belonged to the madhesh of India. So, with all the mixing that has already taken place one should refrain from calling each other a lesser or greater Nepali based on his ethnic composition as long as luv for the nation overrides the luv for ethnicity. Finally, knowledge of a particular ethnic group should be welcomed since we would get to know each other more leading to a stronger nation - again as long as ethnic knowledge is not a jingoistic propaganda of ones enthnicity.
