There is always the great Nepalese irony of misplaced patriotism. The same people who love Prashant, hate india. These same people possibly hate Udit Narayan Jha. These same people probably have a love hate relationship with Tenzing Norgay - on one hand they love the fact that a Nepali was one of the first two on mt. Everest, and on other hand they hate the fact that he became Indian later on. Intelligent people, it's time to move on with such stereotyping and misplaced nationalism. In today's global economy everyone and everything is co-related and if you believe in five hundred year old touchable untouchable systems then you're no far less behind to fight about someone's nationality. If you believe in democracy then let the damn person decide which country he wants to be citizen of! and respect and appreciate him for his talents and not for this nationality.
