Here comes Nepali egomaniac. Prabal Gurung is a Nepali by ethnicity and race. He proudly boasts himself as a Nepali which we should admire and be thankful Being born on a foreign country should not divide our existence. We should welcome them with open heart. As we spread across the world, there will be more people like Prabal who are not natively born in their ancestral land. If you think just being born in Nepal matters that much, let me give you some examples. Here in the US, I've come across few Nepal born Indians who went back to India personally after growing up or with their parents in early childhood. They call themselves "Indian" and not “Nepali”. Trust me, there is nothing Nepaliness in them, some even after living in Nepal for significant amount of time. Millions of Indians are born in Africa, you think they call themselves “Africans”? Heck, I even met a lady half Nepali-half Russian ( originally born in Nepal ) from Moscow, who had very bitter feelings against Nepal and Nepali in general since her Nepali father divorced her mother when she was a child. So? These people "technically born in Nepal" are examples of scenario which clearly proves the complexity between nationality, race and ethnic identity. If you feel like digging deep, you'll be surprised that many of your favorite artist and writers from the past to contemporary has roots ( nationality ) in Darjeeling which is technically India. But they are ethnically Nepali and you have accepted them. So what makes Prabal different?
What next, boycott Danny Denjogpa’s classic songs since he is not a Nepali. Do you see the hypocrisy?
The point is - why do you care so much of your Nepali citizenship? You think it is that precious? FYI It is sold like whores in illegal market anyway.
Infact, Prabal should be given a free Nepali citizenship for representing us but I don’t think he really needs it. He has better options. So be jealous and droll on.
