just to make my point "short"..i would like to ask all should i feel offended if someone calls me Nepali? (cos' i am not .....my mother tounge is not nepali). Some one once told me it is the stronger who "rules". In Nepal it is the Nepali speaking people who cam eout stronger ... i think it is the same case here...india is much more stonger in numbers and others as well than Nepal... feeling offended will not get us anywhere.. in fact i feel happy that i can coomunicate with many indians in their own language, they treat as their own. I feel part of a big community here. I think it is nice. To go to the other extreme will be to treat every one outside my community as "aliens", that also i can do..but i am thinking maybe i'll feel lonely.
