So what if Dharnez imitate Darjeelingeys? Dharan and Darjeeling shares some values that rest of the nation don't. People from Dharan and Darj are more open minded, liberal and very social and that is more than can be said for the rest of country. There is nothing wrong in learning from someone who you feel close to and YES Dharane and Darjeelingeys treat each other like long lost siblings. I don't see a problem here, do you? There might be a thing or two to learn from westerners (paschimey), but you all need to learn more from Dharan. Time and again, Dharan has shown the nation its fighting spirit when economy was down once British closed the Ghopa Camp and when hundreds were killed due to the earthquake. We as citizens of Dharan helped each other out, neighbors to neighbors, tols to tols, wards to wards and resurrected our lives and the city. No other city can even come close to community involvement in infrastructures and other various social and economic development, even the capital or cities which earns in millions from tourists. Dharan has stopped looking for aids from the government, which almost never materialize as far as Dharan is concerned. Dharan has its share of problems like rest of the cities but we don't shed tears about it, we deal with it.
