Maverick: I got your answer. Why don’t you support India?? In your own words- “Isn’t that a musical game show?? You may support any candidate that you like, but the attached tag of “nationalism” with it is beyond my comprehension.” India plays far better than nepali team. Isn’t that yet another GAME? Why did you involve your NATIONALISM sentiment here? As you yourself have quoted- “I also agree that he has cultural roots tied with Nepal, so what?” Prashant being tied up with Nepali roots, regardless how deep, it is obvious that Nepalese support him. Very natural. He lives/works in India and speaks hindi doesnt mean he is entirely indian and nepalese shouldnt be showing national sentiment. Your name suggests you probably live in US. And I am sure you speak english most of the time( at least, at work, school). If you participate in american idol next season, every single nepali living in US would vote you.Why? Because, you are a Nepali, or at least your roots adheres to nepal. One more straight forward question to you, how about Darjeeling and Delhi team? Which team would you favor?
