Why Indian idol is so important for Nepal ?

Why are we celebrating indian idol more than our dashain, tihar and gai jatra ? It's good that a young boy of Nepali origin won Indian idol. We are happy for him for making a mark from the Nepali community of India. We certainly are more happy than we would have been if another indian would have own. But he is not a Nepali citizen. Why are we making this stuff more important than necessary when we are not being able to celebrate even the most important of our festivals, national celebrations and anything that makes us believe what we are. We Nepalis have always been victims of media hypes of Indian channels. What is Indian Idol ? Just another reality show that grabs senses of so many people. I don't believe that indian idol is one of the best singers india has. Media picks some guys with some skills and make such a big projection of the show and the participants that people stop seing anything beyound that. And that indian idol mania grabs senses of Nepali people more than Nepals political scenarios. I can say that a common Nepali l these days talks more about Indian idol than nepals political situations and situations. The point that I am trying to emphasize here is attitude of a common Nepali that is dragging nepal back to ice age. The most important thing that is keeping us back is that we don't love our country and our people. I have nothing to do with Indian Idol. That's just another foreign television show that comes and goes, regardless of who wins and who loses. Just talking about 200 years old gorkhali stories won't make us become Nepali. This is the time all nepali should be focussed on the interest of the country and our people and our values and celebrations rather than wasting time on Indian idol and the like stuffs.
