I was not trying to take sides on this issue because frankly, I see good points on both sides.

Would I love to see good Nepali songs being played on all Nepali gatherings? Of course.
Would I force people into listening Nepali music? Of course not.

I personally have not watched a Hindi movie or listened to Hindi songs in over a decade but that is my personal preference. That being said, I also do not listen to Nepali music or watch Nepali movies either. Why? We come back to the same conclusion -- there simply is not a good alternative. This seems to be the point of our agreement.

As I was trying to point out, the issue of Hindi songs/art, is but just one facet in a larger geo-political context of our country. In a ideal world, art would be free of agendas/propaganda but if we look back at the history, this has never largely been true on matter of every significance.

So, the solution, also another of our point of agreement, on both this issue would be to create our own art/music that can be enjoyed by ours and hopefully others around the world.
