Sister oops Sidster,
Slip of the tongue is not the fault of mine, no bones there...lol.
"If becoming a Lahure is 4 times better than becoming an IT guy then he should become a Lahure." It's an individual's choice and depends on the circumstances you are surrounded with.
"But ITS NO WAY IN HELL THAT BECOMING A LAHURE AND FIGHTING FOR ANOTHER COUNTRY FOR "GOD KNOWS WHY" REASON IS A NATIONAL PRIDE."
Yes it is a national pride because they excelled in the jobs they were hired for, they made the sacrifices when the world needed them for the right cause back then and the world is aware of that. I would be proud of you too if you could paint out your own identity in whatever job of your choice you undertake. Most of them weren't raised with the education and financial freedom to the extent like you who could goto U.S and study.
"I think we are deviating from the initial thought this thread originator had started."
Please go and check, this whole thread started with the history of lahure. You don't need to feel sorry for them, they don't need your sympathy. You weren't there when they needed you neither Nepal. But instead they've given a lot in return to their country.
"When we sing about how the "powerfuls" have used us the "powerless" its an embarrassment."
It's a lot more embarassing how people treat them in Nepal than the way how the British treat them.
"The point here is not to bash Lahures...but to acknowledge that  being a Lahure is not a  national pride, its a foreign employment and we should not sing a  national song about Lahure's fighting for Bush in Iraq or Lahure's fighting for India in Kasmir."
Your skin, heart and mentality doesn't change all of a sudden when you start working for a foreign country. That's their job, like Nepalese people washing dishes, working in a gas station or mowing a lawn in the U.S. They won't looked upon down by me, they are still my country people if they consider to be one and they have their own stories to tell. Life is not a bed of roes and noone is perfect. We are all different but without anyone of us, we are just incomplete. So don't try to waste your time criticizing,bringing about the weaknesses in the people around you. You will be much adored if you strengthen their weaknesses and improve on their brighter side.
Note: If you have time and money, watch "The band of brothers", TV series directed by Steven Spielberg, and you will understand the other side of the coin.
