I am not writing in favor of or against Indians, but I am surprised why no one raised a flag about us using the term 'Dhoti' when we are quick to blame Indians when it comes to name calling. 'Dhoti' is a term derogatorily used by Nepalese individuals to demean people of Indian origins. If we dare address Indians as 'dhotis', we also must be prepared to hear Indians calling us 'Bahadurs'. Also, I find it mighty interesting how we Nepalese stereotype the entire Indian nationals as penny pinchers when India boasts the population of over one billion. Most of us encounter Indians who come from a lower middle class family or from states which are not so resourceful as Karnataka, Maharastra or few states up north. I must agree that most Andhraites, Bengalis and Biharis lack generosity when it comes to living large, but so do people from Dailekh, Okhaldhunga, Chitwan, Syangja et al. Have you ever befriended Nawabs from Aligarh or Princes from Gwalior? Also, have you ever hung out with fresh graduates from IIM or dined with executives from Tisco?

I am a full blooded Nepalese, and a true patriot on top of that, but I am more inclined towards Indians when it comes to the following:

1. Movies: 'Love Sex aur Dhokha' vs 'Karorpati', you decide which is a better.

2. Music: 'Ustad Amjad Ali Khan' vs ' Nhyu Bajracharya' - do the comparison

3. Products: 'Tata steel', 'Bournvita', 'Colgate Toothpaste' vs 'Wai wai chow chow' and 'Soatlee sabun'

4. Sports: 'Cricket', 'Hockey', 'Soccer' vs 'Cricket' and 'soccer' (and as compared to India, we suck at both).

5. Education: 75% of the modern youth in India aspire to be engineers, businessmen and scientists while the same percentage of Nepalese youths hurl stones at police.

6. India introduces nuke plants while Nepalese seethe about gautam buddha born in Nepal in sajha.

7. Significant number of us Nepalese in US and UK work for businesses owned by Indians, ever seen an Indian in US work for  Nepalese businessman in similar numbers?

We can always list multiple examples for arguments' sake, and we can always refute them as well. But with all said and done, we survive because of India.

Nas - Man! I thought you were smarter than that bro, what about Maoists (Nepalese) killing Nepalese?

DhirajOjha - I hate using strong words, but morons like you must be castrated, barbecued and fed to Barbarians.

Crazy boi - Whistling dixie eh! Noble thought, but is it prgamatic? Ask yourself.
