Hey guys wait for me. I just put the popcorn in!!!! damn u started already!!
@yuma No I've never been to Lumbini but I have heard it is really very well maintained. By whom, I donot know. I heard its the Japanese/Chinese/*ese.
@khwasa timile bhaneko thik ho, we shouldn't just let people take advantage of us. If we let them continue, they will take Mt. Everest away from us.
This is how I explain where Nepal is to anyone else I meet here in the USA.
"Do you know where Nepal is?"
"No"
"Have you heard of Mt. Everest?"
"OFFCOURSE! Its the tallest peak in the world!"
"Well its in Nepal"
And then things flow smoothly from there.
There are somethings that define a country, maybe not for us, but for others to realize that OH MT. EVEREST = NEPAL. And the fact that they acknowledge you as a separate country, is their way of respecting you as an individual.
and like @MN_Nepali argues, they have had 50 years of Independence and we've been around as "Nepal" for 280. What the movie could have said is that "Gautama Buddha, formerly known as Prince Siddhartha, was born in Kapilavastu, which today lies in modern Nepal.. [blah blah blah] .. and he attained enlightenment in Bodh Gaya in the state of Bihar (?) in India". When the bastards cut the chase and righteously state that he was born in India without even mentioning us, I feel a little storm brew in my temples.
But anyhow, there is no point in fussing over this matter anymore. As the saying goes "No use in flogging a dead horse".
@deshbhaktanepali I dont think he chose to stay exclusively in India and shun Nepal. He ran away remember? Meaning, he prolly didn't want to come back and run into any of his cousins at the local Thursday grocery fair. And at that time there was no India and Nepal so.......
