 Kanchu,

Just by being beholden to the notion of one outfit being a pakka Nepali over others, one is already INDIRECTLY imposing on others. This makes people compelled to done what is not of -- or about -- them just out of fear of being considered less or non-Nepali.

Feeling compelled to discard what is rightfully and originally his/her and adopting what is others' for the sole purpose of being accepted is SUBMISSION; and that is only unfair, unjust and completely misguided.

I, for one would not have liked it if, say, Sherpas had ruled over Nepal for the past few decades and imposed BAKHU as my country's national dress. This, apart from the fact that I loved wearing bakhu in the past at Sherpa Lhosars.

Now, before I begin to sound hopelessly redundant, and you get tempted to infuse more negativity in this discussion, I shall, in your own words, "Cut the crap" on you. I shall also remain content in being a "bigot" in your eyes. :)
