BornfreeJi and rest of all... I and lots of my cousins were also compelled to pay money or more precisely to bribe officers to get driver's license, to make passport, to get our certificates attested from the authorized personnel and to get police report But the IRONY is that i and all of my cousins are also Brahmins...How you could fit us into your scheme..... As you have mentioned earlier Brahmins and Kshetryias are directly or indirectly prohibited to join into British and Indian Gorkha regiments because of the fact that they are proven dishonest and corrupt...does that mean Every kid who takes birth in Brahmin/Kshetryias is by default a dishonest and corrupt and everyone who is from Rai, Limbu, Magar, Gurung, Sherpa, Tamang (I hate to mention us as Aryans and Mongolians…..to me it sounds a bit like foreigners) is honest and uncorrupt.... If this is the case then certainly Brits and Indians are doing injustice to non Rai, Limbu, Magar, Gurung, Sherpa, Tamang casts and looks like they are offending them …. OR Honesty-dishonesty, corrupt-uncorrupt are the traits that are acquired by an individual over time which are specific to him or her and there is nothing to do with his/her family of origin. It is our attitudes, behaviors and deeds that make us honest/dishonest and corrupt/uncorrupt than our affiliation to a particular cast. But if this is the case and also larger participation and better performance by legendry Gorkhas primarily from Rai, Limbu, Magar, Gurung, Sherpa, Tamang casts than from other casts led Brits to preferentially select them into Gorkha regiments, then this is fine at least to me. Which is also equivalent to larger participation and better performance by Brahmins and Kshetryias in Government based jobs through Lok Sheva or any other selection processes and should not be a matter of injustice to Brahmins and Kshetryias. So my bottom-line is: Someone who is corrupt/dishonest is corrupt/dishonest. They don't have any other identity other than corrupts and dishonests. S/he could be from Brahmin/Kshetryias or from Rai, Limbu, Tamang, Sherpa, Magar and Gurung or Yadav, Jha, Chaudhari, Damai, Kami and Sarki..... Corruption is not due to a cast, color, race and gender. It is not something that happens only in Nepal. It is very rampant for example in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Korea, China, African countries and even in US, Japan and other Western countries....I don't think they have casts like ours. But they still have this problem... Corruption and dishonesty does not inherit from the family lineage rather from the individual’s greed for money and power as well as bad governances. So making generalized statements attributing corruption to particular cast, color, religion, and race and gendered is not acceptable by any standards. Teti ho….
