I wonder why Indian Idol is so popular among Nepalese community. Did Indian idol become popular due to Prashant's progress or influence of Indian TV in Nepalese society? The reason of bringing this topic is that, in percentage, Nepalese and Nepal origin people seem to be taking more interest than that of actual Indians (excludes Nepal origin north eastern people). In my work place 99 percent of Indians are from South India who barely understand and speak Hindi. They have barely heard about Indian Idol. This depicts that only the Hindi speaking people (mainly north India) are the ones who watch Indian Idol. One other point is that the total votes casted turned out to be 3 millions out of 1200 millions all over the SMS eligible countries which is very very insignificant. Hence, are we more interested in Indian entertainment industries than India's own people? Isn't it odd?
