>>... No miss Nepal the lady with the crown has travelled across Nepal volunteering at rural schools/teaching women/kids about health, HIV, prostitution and all that that exist among Nepali people. Almost all pageants like this across the globe give tution aids/scholarships for people that participate, why do the organizers themselves not encourage education among participants?...

How many Nepalis outside of KTM, BRT, Pokhara, etc know about MissNepal that they would be interested in being educated by her??? Better to have locally developed resources to work on this.

>> ... For seventh year in a row, Dabur Vatika is the corporate sponsor for the event. In case you didnt know its who makes Dabur Honey and Chyawanprash and shampoo and all that using Nepali herbs and now has factories all over Nepal. Its primary industries are India based and owned. So, my question is can you actually call it Nepali and a sole- Nepali event?

Nepali contestants, Nepali pariprekchhya, Nepali contest. If CG (makers of WaiWai) sponsored Indian Idol, as they too have factories and market in India, would it matter at all? This question/stand does not address the issue in question here.
