Waving a nepal national flag in darjeeling doesnot offened anybody, cause everybody is well informed that there were hundreds of people from Nepal who had come to Darjeeling for the support of Prashant. There were atleast hundred vehicles with big banners and nepali national flag flying high which passed away from panitanki border alone on that day and this thing started atleast from 3-4 days earlier the grand finale. One more thing you must be knowing that you have to pass thru the indian police & customs in india while travelling there. In fact indian govt. did not charge any duty on the vehicles bearing nepali no. plates passing to India for that day. It was free of charge . Cause everybody know its just an act of solidarity and people are supporting a nepalese speaking fellow who is an indian by nationality & birth whose ancestors probably may have been from nepal . No body is offended by that . C'mon guys have a big heart anybody can wave there national flag in any country, there is no harm in that at all . But the thing anybody should not disgrace anyones flag. That will be an offence and a crime. You guys may have seen games happening in different countries of the world and the players/spectators wave national flags of there respective countries they are from . Yesterday there was a match between India and Pakistan in South Africa and there were thousands of people waving the flags of these two nations. Was it an offence to SA people. With all the due respect to all of our nepali people, I feel that we have got a very narrow heart. So, we feel intrusion in every thing and this is the main cause that we aren't progessing because we link everything even day to day event to nationality, we feel very very insecured because of this narrow mindedness of ours. In order ti progess and deal with the bigger world we need to come out of this mindset & inferior complexity. Guys, I am very very sorry if I have offended anybody. The above mindset & statement applies to me as well being a true nepali, so in a way i am Criticissing & commenting on myself .
