There is a saying "You can take a horse to water but you can't make it drink." Same applies to most of the Nepalese showing pseudo-nationalism out here. How much money has been spent on him? And, you guys want to raise more and more...What will Nepal get at the end? He will probably sing a few Nepali songs-which he will whether he becomes an indian idol or not. Some moron hypothesized about my lack of knowledge about media influence. Do you think Prashant will really work for the benefit of Nepal? He is currently serving Indian army and we will probably continue to do so. If not, he will join the indian music industry. He might perform a concert in Ktm for the benefit of X NGO in Nepal. But, hey, is this all needed? Does he need to be an indian idol to help Nepalese-again considering he feels for fellow Nepalese. Be rational-as I said before. Stop spending millions of dollars on him. I wish we could help those millions of children in Nepal who can't go to school because they have to earn their living working day and night. Think about it...Don't be swayed by the "Vedo" mentality. On the other hand, do you guys really think Prashant is a better singer? While I love his voice and the fact that he is from a Nepali origin, I seriously think Amit is a better of the two when it comes to singing. Shouldn't one with better singing win the title? I am sure Prashant will feel bad winning the title because he knows Amit is a better singer. Anyway, it is no use sprinkling some drops of "rationality" on the stubborn...They will never learn.
