I am from Nepal, I love my country but I don't refrain to introduce myself as an Indian to cut short a discussion with an idiot or to get my point across  period

@ Paulinadidi, I wish you were a little more articulate in getting your point across.

I'd hire an Indian any day over a Nepali as long as he proves to be more qualified than the latter. I'd also hire any middleastern over Indian, Nepali over Kenyan or an eskimo over American based on the skill set I need most.

Speaking of 'Indians' you have come across, it seems the only people you've put in context are marwari businessmen, street hawkers from Bihar, penny pincher gas station owners, fraudulent consultants and some resent'able' gujrati Motel owners. If you were more aware, you would have spoken of Scientists in NASA, engineers in GE, Vice Presidents in Microsoft and Department heads in MIT. Pray tell, wouldn't you diversify your outlook a little more?

India has a population of over one billion people and sterotyping all Indians over a handful  you have met just sounds a little too peurile for me. Agreed, they act LESS HIP than us Abercrombie clad Nepalese, speak with an embarrassing accent are a little more on the stingy end, but should these amenities put them into an evil category? Ask yourself.

Speaking of employment reciprocation, kindly do the maths once again, there is one single state in India that hosts 90% Nepalese people, remember what happened when Bhutan ferretted our Nepalese brothers? Also, These days not all Nepalese are bahadurs, I personally have friends who rake more moolah than you could imagine in Healthcare and Information Technologies in prime cities in India.

Speaking of being hired, my first job had an Indian interviwer and he (believe me or faint) chose me among the bevy of five candidates of which two were Indian. You think he is insane, I think he was ethical. That is the difference between how different individual perceive.

Again, let's revisit what you have spoken against Indians. First of all, THEY ARE NOT OBLIGED TO HIRE US, we very well know that explotation, if any, will be on any individual who work in Consulting industry, not just Nepalese. Just as they are not doing us favor by hiring us, we can choose not to work with them as well. And here is the tricky part, and let's be honest - We need them, we approach them time and again for jobs only to speak evil of them, tell me, is that mature?
