I think some madhesis have defamed other Madhesis with their Hindi language demand. Those who demand that Hindi should be offical language of Nepal (as opposed to Maithili, Bhojpuri or Awadhi ) are bikau politicians who take money from Indian embassy and run the show. When they talk about their "identity", I want to kick them in their mouth: is Hindi their identity? But there are far more other Madhesis who understand this. Look at how Sadbhavana or other pro-Indian parties do in vote? They don't get even a fraction of total madhesi votes. As for what would happen if a madhesi (Jha) from across the border goes to Indian idol and wins, my opinion is people in Mithila region of Nepal will support him just as much as people from Nepali speaking region supported prashanta, given that he doesn't downplay his Maithili roots. I have met a lot of Indians, from Bihar, however, who downplay their root, and whenever I ask where they were from, they would say 'Rajasthan. mere pitaji oodhar IAS mein serve karte hein'. If this Jha guy from across the border says that he loves Nepal and sings some Nepali song, then we will definitely pray for him. As for Udit Narayan Jha, except for a few opportunist journalists like Pushkar Lal Shrestha, the rest of Nepali consider him pucca Nepali. I still remember how happy we were with his success when Papa Kahate hein became hit. Udit's folksongs are still popular. It is sad that some of keep on saying 'Nepalese don't respect Udit'. They do. A lot of film makers do. We listeners do. May god give him long life, and ever lasting fame.
