anish 1st indian idol is not even a remote reflection of "singing talent" in hindi, in india or around the world...watch saregamapa..only amit paul will be able to even compete there from this idol batch..so lets not confuse idol with any sort of national or international talent search in India...it is just one show by one channel in India for ENTERTAINMENT purpose. Now dont confuse prashant being in top 3 with yr votes. he aint there because bunch of nepalese are voting for him..he is also getting Indian votes...and many people have many different reasons for it....my point was and I repeat is nepalese voting for him has no other reason but personal racial prejudice/bias that he LOOKS like them and that is even seconded by yr arguement that amit paul is half nepalese but he doent look like a TAMANG hence he is not getting yr votes at large. There is not an iota of doubt who is a better singer or is there? also Indians should be proud of the fact that anyone in India can flourish no matter what ethnic background..nepalese etc...my friend go back just few years ago..some bollywood star made a random comment about nepal and NEPALESE EDUCATED YOUTH WENT AFTER BUSINESSES OWNED BY YR BELOVED DHOTIS WITH SLOGANS TO LEAVE THE COUNTRY....my dear friends can u imagine what happens to nepal if India sends back just 10% of nepalese back to nepal...forget that, what happens if 25% of tourists from india cancel their trips to nepal? my friend nepal faces complete bankruptcy of their economy which at the 1st place is run on borrowed money....my conclusions here have been that indian kids r brought up being taught by their parents as nepal being their freind and the only hindu country in the world..where in nepal or outside, a typical nepalese hates india and indians.....there was and still is way too much goodwill in India about nepal and nepalese ...it should stop period....indians should have the same hatred towards a typical nepalese as a nepalese has towards them...its time for nepal to face the music of their own composition.....sarepgamapadhanisa ;)
