Newuser, I think Paramendra always mentioned what he is, and he is consistent in his claims. Its not one Paramendra who has either father borned in India, and mother borned in Nepal or vice versa, there are 100s of thousand if not millions of Nepalis like him. Japanese call such people 50/50 i.e. half Japanese whose one of the parents is a non Japanese. These half Nepali, half Indian or from other country, should be treated as equally as a Nepali with both parents born in Nepal. (This is my feeling). I am sure these people are loyal to both countries, and they me be in confusion when there is a critical situation, especially, a war. I had several classmates who are from Tarai and they used to tell their story of being 50/50 and its natural to think like that. We have to face it, primarily because our borders are open, we don't need passport or visa to cross the border or get married to a person across the border. Secondly, the national border between India and Nepal is like a border between India and Pakistan around Punjab-Jammu-Kashmir. Recently in TV here in USA, it was shown the suffering of the people who were relatives and just divided by the national border. I had also seen similar situation, in Vietnam and China. I had a student in Japan, whose relatives are in Korea but he is citizen of China. He wanted to be Korean because many relatives live in Korea, but he is still a loyal Chinese as he claims. He once answered to my question: what side will he take if China and Korea fight? His answer was, "I wish we never have a war". So, in my personal opinion Paramendra can be loyal to both countries in normal time. Current constitution of Nepal I guess does not allow dual citizenship, so if he holds Nepali citizenship and a critical national crisis arises, I am sure that Paramendra will (as a citizen of Nepal) be on Nepal's side. But, I am sure that such crisis will never arise and therefore, Paramendra and others like him will never have to fight against one of their parent's country. ................ Now, I am sure that no one human will like his parent's country be criticized without a valid reason. After watching the Iraq war fiasco in USA, I have started to feel that whether people should defend their country even if its going in wrong direction when it comes to your country vs other's country? Only one thing, I don't understand why don't Paramendra ji include Bhojpuri or Maithili bhasa in his proposal, but why Hindi? Hindi, I guess is not the main language around Nepal-India border. In Western Nepal, Tharu bhasa is the dominant language around Nepal-India border. I wonder whether he is trying to make Indian Political Leaders listen to him by adding "Hindi" language in his proposal. Let me hear his reasoning. Jai Nepal. GP
