Suna that is exactly what my concern is. Is that the reason why Nepal is still so backward? Instead of forward thinking mentality where we vote for the right thing, we want to vote for thing that we have links with. There were couple of postings where photos by Nepali photographers were voted simply because they were by Nepalis. We constantly practice nepotism in offices, government positions and even in some artistic show as the indian idol. How can we condone such favoritism and nepotism in one place while whining and knowing that nepotism is bad. We have to move away from such blatant nepotisms and encourage survival of the fittest and the most deserving. If you support this kind of activity then you can't grumble over the koiralas putting the koiralas in high positions in government. You unconscienciously support prachanda putting his relatives in high ranking govt positions. All forms of nepotism has to stop and it has to start from the grassroot level before we can hope to become a democratic crowd.
