"misplaced patriotism" spot on buddy! 

I wonder how many of these patriots knew Anuradha Koirala before this. And also how many of these would have even cared to vote if there were no Nepali in there. Worst, I wonder if they even know who other 9 heroes are. 

I'd say, just have a beer and watch the world unfold around you! I personally did not vote for 2 reasons. First, how do you really decide who's the best among all those. Like seriously, all of them are doing good to the society and picking one is like discrediting or even humiliating others. Secondly, I believe what Anuradha Koirala has done, though praiseworthy, is nothing looking at the resources/funds she have at her disposal. I know who my heroes are and Anuradha Koirala have no place in MY top ten. 

Try to think as a world citizen not as a Nepali!
