Makuramanche,
I hope i typed your name correct. Can you please enlightened me with the name of couple countries who actually sing a national song about fighting for another country?
Someone mentioned Lahures fighting for good cause and good reason...if Nazis or Stallin had gotton hold of those loyal, honest, and needy hill people who could be abused for their cause, today i bet these people would have been fighting for Nazis or Stalin. Get the point !!!!
I dont hate lahure for being a lahure. I dont hate Bir Gorkhalis who fought FOR Nepal in the past. Bir Gorkhalis who helped unite Nepal. Its sad that we dont realize that Lahureism was exploitation started by the powerfuls to us the powerless but we take a pride in it. A pride that is not only limited to a family pride but a pride that is hoped for a National pride.
It will be hard to advocate lahureism as a national pride because most eyes have been opened on how it started and what its purpose was. Do any of you know that British hired Lahures to supress freedom fight of india. Indians saw how fierce/brutal Nepalese fighters were and they wanted a Regiment for their own so that these hill people can be used again if suppression is needed again.
It was really hard for me to accept the reality too, specially after coming from a lahure family where the trend was set by my great grand father. Still, i refuse to sing a National song about it because i don't want to be recognized as hired fighters. Hired fighters who will fight for employment. A hired fighter who loves his family, his culture, will be loyal/honest, and will do anything for his master.
Well i guess i can look at the good side at least Nepalis are fighting for India, UK, Singapore and such. Good for Nepal and us that Saddam Hussain did not make any good offer to Nepali Fighters otherwise we would have been calling fighting for Saddam a National Pride as well. Then that would have been a bigger embarrassment than what we have now.
BECOMING A LAHURE IS NOT AN EMBARRASSMENT BUT CALLING IT A NATIONAL PRIDE IS ONE
