Gurkha humour
Gurkhas or Nepalese might be good in a lot of things but ’sense of humour’ seems to be one department in which they suck. RED FM RJ, Jonathan Brady, who is popularly known as Nitin after a programme called Ulta Pulta Nitin that he used to host on some other FM channel, apparently commented in a live broadcast that “shopkeepers will now have to make their own security arrangements as Gurkhas have taken to singing.â€? The remark was made on his new programme, Khurafati Nitin on Red FM. (For those of who are wondering what the issue is about, please read this - Prashant Tamang is Indian Idol 3.)
“At least 12 people were injured in a clash between Tamang’s fans and locals in Siliguri in West Bengal on Thursday when police fired on an angry mob after the protesters had resorted to widespread violence and clashed with locals. The mob, comprising mostly fans of Prashant Tamang, torched cars and damaged shops during a protest march.” - watch video here.
What’s so sensitive about that? Is Gorkha/Nepali self esteem so weak that they go beserk if someone makes a jokes? He made a joke, is it too hard to live with that? For the record, I actually found that statement funny. I remember a few years back in late december 2000, rumors were spread that Hrithik Roshan stated in an interview that he hates Nepal and its people. This immediately led to riots in Nepal, cinemas showing his films were attacked, posters burnt, Hindi movies banned in general for some days and several people shot dead by the police.
The events made headlines all over the world and the governments of Indian and Nepal got involved as well. Anti Indian/Hrithik sentiment died down quickly when it became clear that the alleged statements were a fabrication and the rumors were spread by a malicious third party, possibly the Bollywood mafia, still pissed about not getting the foreign rights to Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai (2000). Nepal born actress Manisha Koirala played an important role in getting the news to the people in Nepal that the accusations were false.
So, dear Gurkha or Nepali friends, GROW UP!

Why can’t that mile of fabric on a Sikh’s head be referred to as a nappy?
Where are those golliwogs with black faces and thick red lips that nice little children used to play with?
Why can’t we speak of Tiger Woods and fried chicken in the same breath?
Why can’t Mahatma Gandhi be a gas station attendant?
And Jade Goody, aaah Jade Goody
Where’s everybody’s sense of humour ?
GROW UP Everybody!

Hey, your article and the some one else’s comments really sucks. We, as a nation and as a modern world, should grow up and be sensitive to other people’s feelings. Why did our entire nation erupt during Shilpa’s Big Brother case? And there a reno end of contrpoversial issues every time there is a ’situation’ bordering on our religious or cultural sensitivity. Some people are even going crazy on undocumented historic illusions.
And you have the nerve to say people need to grow up?
The RJ should be sacked…. I hope he grows up… and you too!

You said for yourself that we nepalese don’t have a sense of humor. You are so right. You will find for yourself our lack of of this sense when you meet a nepalese and he/she beats the shit out of you. I hope you remember that we are also considered the best fighters around. But how would you know that? You don’t read very well read from what little I read of the article. Good luck man! I hope you don’t have to face an angry nepali mob.

This is a stupid article. It is not a sense of humor subject. Culprit person who cannot digest the success of the other communities or in another word miniorities use the help of comedy to make fun just to check their feelings. He crossed the limit.What a loser? This person RJ nitin needs to be sacked and make sure he won’t get any media jobs in the future. The good commedian makes fun of himself, his girlfriend, family or his nation . There is one inidan origin candian commedian he always makes fun of himself, his families and indians.

Hi chacko your article really sucks, being a nepalese we really supported Shilpa Shetty, we all collected money and voted for Shilpa to make her win Big brother in the UK ,Gurkhas played a very big role in victory of Shilpa Shetty in BB and now thats how we are getting pay back, by making our feeling as humour, thats really sucks.Why you guys really hate Neplese people?

chacko…
that was one poor poor article. Poorly researched, poorly written and it laid open your bigotry, narrow mindedness, prejudices and outdated parochial attitude… as well as your distasteful sense of humor, if one can even call it that.
Racism is not acceptable. And what RJ Nitin said was a derogatory racist remark.. maybe not made in a calculated manner to stir up passions.. but still, it was done flippantly and irresponsibly.. One man’s stupid, immature, disrespectful, racist remark has brought to light his primitive thinking.. and YOUR primitive thinking.
Its shameful.. and it’s shameful that you go and stoke the fire with your irresponsible post. Do some homework before you puke your words onto cyberspace.
You quote:
“At least 12 people were injured in a clash between Tamang’s fans and locals in Siliguri in West Bengal on Thursday when police fired on an angry mob after the protesters had resorted to widespread violence and clashed with locals. The mob, comprising mostly fans of Prashant Tamang, torched cars and damaged shops during a protest march.

actually chacko,
(I just posted the last comment…)
I think you should take back your words …
Be fair to yourself and to others.. Research the situation and the antecedents of the issue.. then you’ll see where you were wrong.
Then you can apologize. Yes, apologize.
Grow up, chacko.. and all others who think like chacko.. and like RJ Nitin. Grow up.
p.s. Also, remember, there is a pretty substantial difference between Nepal the country and its citizens. And the Indians of Nepalese origins.. like Prashant Tamang.
Do not confuse the two. Both share a heritage and culture. But may not share the same allegiances regarding countries. Indians are Indian citizens.
So comparing this with the Hrithik Roshan fiasco doesn’t even make sense.
Again man, some clearly thought out writing would be good. Else just stop writing man.
I am waiting for you to redeem yourself for your terrible post.

hey chacko, if having a sense of humor means demeaning an entire community……….then YES, we nepalese CERTAINLY don’t cater to that genre of humor and don’t care much for it.
BUT that also means we don’t take such comments in a joking manner. That is not a joke you know it as much as I do. Remember the incident with Don Imus, remember the incidence about the Mohammed Jokes??? No intelligent community will take such comments on a light note and if they do, it means they’re stupid and I don’t apologize for not being stupid and taking such a callous comment just lying down.
To begin with, who are you kidding??? Everyone who heard the RJ’s comments KNOW in their heart that it was a derogatory comment. At this point, the noble thing to do would be to accept the mistake, apologize and retract those comments. That’s just the right thing to do.
But ofcourse that ain’t gonna happen right?? Why, coz India has no place for minorities like us. But hold on…..the govt. does not hesitate to avail and take advantage of the revenues it generates from Darjeeling. It truly is a modern day travesty that we nepalese have to live in. We have the misfortune of being being under a government that does not give a rats ass about our well being.
Try going to that part of the world and you will see the pathetic condition in which we’ve been neglected for decades. Remnants of roads and infrastructure that the British built are the only things remaining for us to hold on to. The state and central govt has utterly failed us YET we continue to pledge allegiance to the flag of India.
And now this slap on our very sense of self worth, dignity and a trampling of our identity while the rest of India just sits back and points fingers at us.
having an opinion is one thing….we’re all entitled to it BUT distorting the truth and pointing fingers at the innocent is something we NEPALESE certainly don’t laugh about.
And if putting someone down is what it takes to have a sense of humor and if that’s what tickles your ribs…..I am glad I don’t have a sense of humor.
AND SO BE IT!!!!

The important thing that folks like Chacko and Nitin should understand is that not all cultures or for that matter even individuals within a certain culture, have the same sense of humour.
Cultural factors undoubtedly influence humour and what people find funny- the English are supposed to have a sophisticated sense of humour, whereas the Swiss and the German it is said, rarely find anything amusing.
The moronic Chacko for example may break into fits of laughter when his grandmother steps on a banana skin gets flung headlong in air, her good exposed for everyone to see. A nepali nearby on the other hand would berate Chacko, help the grandmother back on her feet and go his way with a serious face. He would not find that incident remotely funny. So would that incident give this Chacko guy the third evidence that Nepalis do not have a funny bone and then would he having made that important discovery hurry to his key board to make that known to the rest of the world, lest some be still under the illusion that Nepalis do have a sense of humour.
Understanding why humans have a sense of humour is a serious business that has engaged evolutionary psychologists, philosophers (especially Schopenhauer and Kant), and neuroscientists over the years. Though most have their own theories as to the origin of this sense, all agree that from the bushman of the Kalahari to the Pirouha Indians to the Wall Street banker, all humans have a sense of humour. So by so sweepingly assuming (based on two incidents) that an entire community has no sense of humour is Chacko insinuating that Nepalis are not human?
Lastly here is a joke: A bunch Neo-Nazis are having a good time after desecrating a synagogue. They are sharing quips. One guy says “My grandfather died in a concentration camp. He fell off the machine gun tower

In a very popular chartoon simpson indians are portayed as cheap where the indian guy dropped hot dog on the floor, he looked around and picked it up quickly and removed the dust sticked on the hot dog and said he could still sell this hot dog for some $$. What does that mean? Is that mean all indians are cheap, I don’t think so. So, this writer and this stupid culprit bastard needs to grow up. Instead of thanking his achivements and his service for the country this guy is degrading him. RJ, TV, radio and medias are supposed to educate people and bring communities together. Without bringing all the communities together the country will not developed in full scale. This RJ Nitin must be fired.

Why be violent about it? If you didn’t like it, just ask him to apologise, why create such a row…He didn’t say he wont apologise , did he?

Unfortunately most of us Indians still stereotype ethnic Nepalis unashamedly calling them watchmen and making jokes at their expense. So RJ Nitin, as outrageous as it may sound, probably didn’t think he was saying anything serious or taboo at all!
He ought to apologize to the Nepali people. He needn’t lose his job because all of us Indians are guilty, why single him out. And we Indians should realize that it isn’t nice calling the Nepali people such things! We should rather commend the Nepalis on their fighting prowess and appreciate their valiant contribution in defending our borders!

A RJ comment uncalled for. It WAS funny to you and me, Chacko, but there are hundreds out there who were hurt by it. As Indians, we can’t tell every community out there to ‘grow up’. We ought to respect their culture, tolerate their aggression and even appreciate their passion.
The Gorkha community is the bravest and one of the most fearless bunch of people I have seen in my country. They are also some of the more honest people, like the Parsis. Their service to the nation, especially in the army, is unsurpassed.
For all these reasons, I would shy away from making a statement against the community. Blame the aggressors, not the Nepalis.

You don’t know what the heck sense of humor is. You are the one who needs to GROW UP. Do you think the meaning is sense of humor is what anyone blurts out when he is under the spells of agony and jealousy? Usn’t there any line of demarcation between sense of humor and derision? I live in one of the most liberal societies in the world, and you come here and make that Nitin-type of jokes here. I am telling you they will get you. Can you crack jokeks about the blacks, gays or even Mormons in the United States? It’s a big NO. Your stupid sense of humor could be an expression of harrassment for others. Don’t you have to think before throw? Even world- renowned stand-up comedian get in trouble for theri taunts. By the way, can I crack a bad joke about your mother or sister? Let me know if I can, for I have scores of such jokes waiting for platform for expression.

Dear Russel Peters,
Our tribe (no brother and sister nepalis, i didnt specifically choose the word) is on a rise. No one can make fun of us glorious gurkhas. Infact, now we teach our glorious gurkha history to one-year-old glorious gurkha babies so that they grow up feeling proud of what we, as a race (pun-unitended) have achieved. And yes, this new brother-singer is going to be a part of history books very soon.
And to all those who say that we nepalis dont have a sense of humour, I want to say, laughing at specific groups is not humour. To the above post i must say, sardarjis and doctors and all women should rise in protest (in separate groups, of course!) - how can anyone make fun of them! Even they have a glorious past… doctors have cured so many people, sardarjis have done punjab proud and women, well…
Just clarifying, their past is not as glorious as a group of himalayan people…

You have just nailed your own coffin.
You have been given a chance to redeem yourself with a reply.
You have been given a chance to do your background research and see what the facts are before taking a foolhardy, stupid, uneducated, uninformed position.
You have been advised by many.. mostly politely, sometimes unfortunately impolitely… that you are taking the wrong stance, that you are proving your racism, that you are using this medium to condone the RJ’s racist behavior, and as a consequence, you ave shown yourself to be racist.
However you have not bothered to reply with grace.
You have not bothered to respectfully acknowledge this barrage of complaints against your post (43 comments in just about 10 hours)..
you have not even bothered to look up the real issues.. even after they have been so clearly and plainly laid out in front of you..
that makes you nothing but a coward..
a lazy coward..
a half-boiled lazy coward who doesn’t have the courage to maybe admit that you have made a mistake..
It makes you nothing but a darpok, a loser who hides behind his wife’s skirt and uses his 18-month daughter as an excuse for not having the decency to see why so many people have a problem with your post.
I’d thought that you’d react like a decent human being.. that you’d at least introspect when you see this flood of comments against your stand..
Instead, with no justification, no reasoning, nothing.. you just sweep aside all the comments and say that you stand by what you said.. Which is so obviously wrong and misguided.
Big mistake bro.. you have just made a BIG mistake.
I urge you again to rethink what u wrote..
i urge you to reconsider your stand.
I urge you to rethink your biases..
So, Mr. Jacob Joseph, You are obviously of the same community as the RJ Nitin AKA Johnathan Brady.. Is he also Syriac Christian?? .. That’s why you’re defending his comments? You are making this one community against another…. No one has made derogatory comments about your community, and we will not lower ourselves to your level by doing so… That doesnt mean you have a free rein to do what you like.
Don’t make that mistake.
Remember, it is difficult to stay anonymous.. and although most people will be prudent and will try to interact with you civilly via comments on your forum (I hope), some other less restrained people might have found out more personal details.. You know.. it’s not so tough. You have a web presence..with pictures of places and friends and family and all..
If huge protests can take place for real against RJ NItin for his careless words, think about what is also possible against you. Online, you have already seen these complaints against your post. You’re lucky it’s only on your mutiny blog and not on your personal blog.. not on jacobjoseph.com… or in dubai.. or in kerala..
I urge you to find reason and reevaluate your stand.. dont be dumb and stupid and moronic and just stand there defending your ill founded position.
Dont be like a dumb ox not moving, just coz its gonna hurt your ego..
Think about what else might hurt if you maintain this line of thought..
you are a racist and unreasonable human being. but you can change.
We don’t hate the criminal, we hate the crime… As Gandhi recommended. You know, Gandhigiri and all…
But that may not last…

In America, when the Simpsons had an Indian character/caricature named “Apu”, the desi community roared in protest against this blatant stereotyping of Indians in America. The producers of “the simpsons” claimed that apu was funny and not meant to degrade the indian community. What happened to the sense of humour of Indians then?
The same thing has been done to Prashant and Nepalis in India. they have every right to be outraged IMO.
An RJ’s job is a very responsible one because of its reach. Radio has the power to reach millions of people. Hence should a voice that smacks of racial stereotyping and intolerance against other cultures pervade the airwaves, it will only seed, awaken and fuel such feelings of intolerance and ignorance among the unfortunate listeners of RJ Nitin.
Your condoning and making light of this incident could be misconstrued as your having a similar attitude towards Nepali Indians and other minorities in India. I sincerely hope this is not the case.

@Jacob,
I fully agree with and support everything that anuj has said above. If you are half as decent as you make out to be, then surely that decent side of you must urge you to atone for your mistake, as we all know, to err is human and to say sorry is divine.
I am sure you are aware that it takes a stupid idiot to not see their errant ways, but it takes a brave BIG MAN to say sorry for his mistake!

This is sooo funny. From the comments it’s clear that there is a huge number of Nepali/Gurkha mass out there who just can’t see the funny side of life. Did I say anything negative about Prashant Tamang? Read my post again.
An RJ makes a comment and this is how you react? Abuse as much as you want. Insult as much as you want. Your weakness in digesting critics or humour tells a lot about your mental make up.
Prashant Tamang has asked for calm.

Chacko/Jacob,….I seriously can’t see what’s so funny! Jade Goody made a “comment” on Shilpa Shetty and how did Indians in UK and India alike react? i think i remember effigies of Jade Goody being burnt on the streets. I think poor Jade Goody’s career was also ruined in the bargain. I condemned Jade Goody then as I do RJ Nitin/Jonathan Brady now.
An RJ made an irresponsible “comment”, and the reactions of Nepalis to it is wholly justified. And about time I say!
I agree with Swaroop above!
And when it comes to degrading some one’s national sense of pride, i am proud to say I don’t have a sense of humour about it.

F**k. It’s sick. Jacob, you are still showing stubbornness? So ridiculous, shame on you. You are not only a shame on yourself, but also a shame on India as a whole. Now you even went to the extent of finding fault in the mental make up of the commenters on your shittish article. This superiority complex will drown whole India along with you.
It would be a greatness to admit the mistake. But no. You dont want it. It will hurt your ego? No? Keeep it up boy. Everybody can judge what you wrote is a support to racism or not. I dont have to say it here.
Why most of the India is like Jacob? I salute their nationalism. But they are just a big hypocrites. They preach high, but never practice what they preach. Yeah, there are few lakh good, rationale people too but they are just lost among the billion people in India. Learn to respect others if you wanna get respect.
One more thing, your article is full of propoganda and misleading information. Why do you want to play with the facts? Prashanta’s fans were the victims of violence in Siliguri, not the aggressors. Majority of your own Indian media has reported it. Why do you want to bend the facts and prove yourself as an intellectual, wise, rationale person? Your wisdom is judged by others, not yourself.
Your level of wisdom and intellectuality has clearly been proven by the comments you got for it. And you want to escape from it by saying ‘there are a lot of Nepalis who dont see the funny side…..?” There are comments by non-nepali speaking Indians too. Just because you are a racist, you are a fool if you thik all Indians will justify you. Albeit low in number, there are still few good people living in India.
Saying so, I dont think your heart approves what you have done if you are a human being. It’s just because of ego, u dont want to accept the mistake. How long will you run from yourself man?

Ok Mr. whoever u are or lets say Mr.Good sense of humour (as he thinks himself as one). U must be thinking that after writing all these shit on Nepali community u must be on a high verge of optimism on th comment what the RJ of Red FM has made.But Mr. Let me tell you ine thing that living in cities and having a modern lifestyle doesn’t mean that you can say whatever you want of others.It seems that still your mindset follows the same stereotypical way. Still your brain seems to a cliche regarding lot of things. I think u your self is a bloody born cliche.So Mr. Cliche next time better think 1000times before what u comment on.Coz this is a mass media and it reaches the masses and in order to make a prestidge or making yourself a cool hunk in front of masses might not get beaten by them in return.okay

Ok so you talk about the nepalese “mindset”….yes we’re sensitive and rightly so. yes we will react because an irresponsible comment demands us to speak for ourselves. atleast we’re not claasifying you as someone beneath us. we’re not making remarks with racial connotations embedded in it…..or worse still we’re not justifying it.
At this point your callousness towards a racist comment speaks volumes about “YOUR MINDSET”. Honestly, WHY ARE YOU DEFENDING NITIN??? YOU KNOW HE’S WRONG. You’re being an ostrich, by ostracizing a community and hiding behind a garb of humor knowing fully well that Nitin’s humor, if at all that was humor, was downright DEROGATIVE.
If such a comment had been made to a member of your community, or to a muslim in india……there would be bloodshed throughout India. Atleast we nepalese have the nobility to restrain ourselves from resorting to that level.
Quit your BS Chacko…..it’s about time you fess up and backdown from supporting that which is incorrect.

JACOB CHACKO and KANCHHI READ THIS CAREFULLY
1. Every community has its strength and its vulnerability.
2. If the RJ had said something like ‘Now that Gurkhas have taken to singing, who will guard our borders and die for us’, I am sure the Gurkha community would have reacted positively because it alluded to their strength and a tradition that they are justly proud of.
3. But by choosing to mark out that section of the community that is poor, vulnerable and downmarket in the social hierarchy, he hit the spot that hurt the community a lot. Moreover, THE RJ MOCKED THE POVERTY OF THOSE PEOPLE AND THAT MY FRIENDS IS A VERY VERY SERIOUS CRIME.
4. It is like going to a pauper’s house and laughing at his hovel (though I’m sure he wouldn’t mind much if you made a dig at his singing ability}.
5. What if an Indian American won the American Idol contest and a jockey said something like, ‘All you kids out there, you better study real hard because now that the Indians have taken to singing, you’re going to have to become surgeons, professors and IT billionaires’, I’m sure the Indian community would be delighted.
6. But, if he said,’Now that Indians have taken to singing there are a lot of taxis without drivers, groceries without clerks…’ well …
7. Though of course taxi drivers there must have a much better deal. It must be really tough being a Nepali watchman in New Delhi for obvious reasons
8. Lastly, I’m sure the Gurkha people have enough jokes that make fun of themselves without some dimwit inventing new ones for them.
Adios and do your homework on love, peace, goodwill and nice humour.

Oh yes ,,when Shilpa Shetty was called “Pappadum” here I guess we all should have asked all the efigy burning Indians to have a sense of humour and grow up …No Chacko ,unlike you we relentlessly voted because we felt an affinity to India and Indians…welll that concept would simply just fly above your fat arrogant head wouldnt it!!!

Hey you racist prick Chacko,
You must be in cloud nine right now riding on another racist jerk like yourself Nitin’s coattail. I can see that you are truly basking in all this right now because you may have never gotten so much attention in your entire life.
I feel extremely sorry for your eight month old daughter who has to be raised by a racist and ignorant father like you. It is people like you and your IDOL NITIN who give all INDIANS a bad name. The only person here I see who seriously needs to grow up is you, you ungrateful JERK. I say ungrateful because people like you quickly forget how many Brave Gorkhas sacrificed and are still scarifying their lives protecting OUR COUNTRY. You may not realize but Darjeeling is also in INDIA and we are as much INDIANS as you. It is time people like you stop treating us as second class citizens.
Nitin should receive the same fate as Don Imus. We Gorkhas, are simple, caring loving, and extremely nice but DO NOT mistake our niceness for WEAKNESS.
The only two person I see who needs to Grow up and start taking responsibilities for their actions are YOU and NITIN. It is not too late to Apologize.

Dear Mr. Chako,
1st. do a good journalism by reporting only after veifying facts and not on hearsay. Frankly speaking I have lost faith in the competence of journalism in India simply because the journos neither have any knowledge about the geography, people and culture of their fellow countrymen nor do research before reporting.
I would like to cite 2 examples:
1. A few days ago the DD News at 8 AM telecast that Sikkim was cut off from the rest of the country due to road breach at Tarkhola on 31 A National Highway. I was stunned to watch the news because the road breach had actually taken place some 15 days back and the day on which it was telecast the road had just been restored 6 days back only. What a good reporting and how true. Any gullible citizen in other parts of the country would have taken the news as true and carried away by the news.
2. Even one of the news item on Indian Idol 3 had carried a news item like this - Prashant Tamang fans in Gangtok in Bhutan (not Sikkim) celebrated his winning Indian Idol 3.
So I am used to taking the news items in the news paper, more so in the internet, as half truths. So, definitely urs is no exception.
2nd.- I am sure your heart knows that what Nitin said was a racial slur and not humour. May be he might not have said it intentionally, but it showed his view of the Prashant’s community deeply grained in his psyche. But neither you have will nor courage to say so, rather you defend Nitin stubbornly. Your attitude and your arrogance amply reflect you as racist.
So you are neither doing a good reporting as a good journalist (rather spreading farce) nor you appear a good human being. Your are following the legacy of racial discrimination that the Raj left behind.
Shame on you. Hope the Almighty God help you to grow up.

2. You king is living like a prisoner in his own country?
3. Why the Maoists kicked your army’s ass?

Dear Chacko
Sorry to hear all that venom from you to the Nepalese people in India-sounds very personal now-just chill -if the Nepali people have offended you so much(through parentage etc) dont worry we Nepali are always welcoming to people of mixed race.
Again dont worry, we will find your Nepali father one day-if your mother knows his name

Another great piece Newar. Keep on back-firing him with your ‘immature sense of humour’ until he realizes that there should be some limit to making fun of any cast, creed and nationality. Hope he will think and do some homework before he outcasts and insults others and tells them to grow up. Hope he will grow up himself to be able to recognise the sensibilities of other people and stops endorsing racial and derogatory remarks about people from other communities.

Hello guys… I think you all are wasting your precious time after a retard writing baseless articles… look at this guy who wrote this article it would have been a serious issue if it had been written by some prominent indian journalist. The article itself is a piece of crap.. Though I am also and Indian from Delhi, I have lots of nepali friends here in australia and they are awsome… infact they are the best people i have met in my life and hey they really have good sense of humor too.
Being and Indian I apolozise for the mess this guy has tried to create among our nepali fellows. Among 5 indians 2 are always crappy like him and Indians like us falls in rest of 3.
So please folks stop wasting time around this article written by a retard who drops his own wife to work (u know what kind of work thats should be) who does not know if he is the father to her daugher. stays home all day and writes crap to pass time.

But must be some of the screw must have worn out of their brain. I just wonder how these people got those post which they are holding. Poor Chako….. You really got to go school.

If I were a dalit, what is your problem? Haha… Come to think of it, this is funny too, Nepali gets upset with blogger for standing up in defense of RJ who they tjink insulted their community. They decided to call the blogger, “Dalit”. Nice.

What a riot you are! Seriously, people who live in glass houses should not throw stones at others. “Let people read these comments and see who are the ones who have used insults.
Nice Nepali culture.” “What great examples of Nepali culture.”
^^Idiot! If you had even a shred of common sense you’d realise that anyone who unluckily comes across your blog will instantly be disgusted by the racist crap that you’re spouting. Secondly, rest assured that apart from uncivilised jerks as yourself and that disgraced DJ, everyone empathizes with the Nepali community and will understand what elicted such outbursts!
From your defensive and immature replies, it is apparent that you’re the one who needs to get a life. After all, you must be one pathetic, lonely good-for-nothing sob if you can’t find anything better to do than spend hours devoted to abusing another community in the defense of another sob (who you have no link to except you both are first class racist asses who are a disgrace to your country and human kind). If you’re upset about the names that you are being called, you should realise that you were just begging for it. I think everyone else who responded IS better than you because you were the one who started the “labelling” and what better way to try to knock some sense into that rotten mind of yours than to use your own language.
Seriously, didn’t you find all those comments about yourself and your wife by Newar hilarious? Also, I was literally wiping away my tears while reading those entertaining comments about your parents and your daughter and I bet you were too..after all there isn’t anyone who enjoys abusive rude inappropriate gross humour better than you, right! Don’t dish it out if you can’t take it!
Also, just to show that we are much better than you- I’ll inform you of a few (amongst many) errors that you have made so far. Maybe this will help you advance a little further in your writing and you will not have to be the desperate sob that you are:

If you start hating your fellow citizens then they will obviously fight back.

My dear nepali brothers and sisters, it is very clear that some of the commentators here are persuaded to instigate us by adhering to that which “THEY” know is unconstitutional.
At this juncture there is NO point in trying to butt heads with people who have extreme views and who are in denial of the truth. These are the the very people who bring communal violence to our doorsteps.
Be that as it may, THANKFULLY, the voice of reason still prevails. A statement by the The Information and Broadcasting Ministry of India said that from the sequence of events it was EVIDENT that the ‘‘derogatory remarks’’ against the Gurkha community were in violation of the AIR’s programme code.
I guess we should rest our case here. Rest assured the law is one our side, so who cares about a buncha racists’ sense of humor. We’ll see who gets the last laugh regarding this issue.
CASE CLOSED (atleast from my side).

This Chacko seems to have no brain and no other sense than his ’sense of humour’.
Hey Aamir, what will your response be if I said, “All your Muslim ancestors came from Arab. India is Hindustan - a land of Hindus. All the Muslims go back to your Arab land and all the Christians, go back to your Europe”. How much humorous do you find it?
Aamir before you say anything: Don’t forget there are your Muslim brothers in Nepal too. Don’t forget, there is a big Hindi speaking community in Nepal too who came to Nepal asking for menial jobs because your country could not manage to feed them.
And, if I were a racist and religious fanatic pig like you, I could have made a ‘Mohammed humour’ too.
Chacko, Rahul, aamir, chackoFan, himanshu, Manu and all racist and arrogant people like you: First of all get out of your own town, out of your own state or out of India and you will see how you Indians are treated like in the foreign countries with a special names like ‘Paki’, ‘Pappadum’ and so on and you people start rioting nowhere other than in India as in Shilpa Pappadam case.
First of all go to Nepal and count the number of Indian beggars you find there before indulging in the Gorkha humour.
You brag about your growing economy and science? Have you ever looked at the Indian statistics of the poverty? India has the largest fraction and number of people below poverty line who are homeless, who are not able to feed themselves. Do you think all of you are Laxmi Mittals? Ghar me khaane kaa roti nahi hogaa, apne aap ko Laxmi Mittal samajhte hai ye log. That’s really humorous now.

Govt orders FM station to explain RJ’s remark
KOLKATA: A private Indian radio station has been threatened with government action after allegedly insulting the winner of the Indian Idol talent show and his entire ethnic group.
The Red FM station provoked rioting by referring to contest winner Prashant Tamang from Darjeeling as a “guard”.
“It is prima facie evident that the remarks are in violation of the programme code,” Ministry of Information and Broadcasting said in a statement, which also branded the station “racist and insulting.”
It ordered Red FM to explain itself by Monday evening. Areas around Darjeeling have been rocked by protests and clashes following the Red FM comments, and Indian army soldiers continued to be deployed in the nearby town of Siliguri for a third day on Sunday.
Thirty people were hurt there in clashes between police and protestors on Friday.
The radio station has already apologised to the contest winner, who works as a police constable and who has in turn appealed to his fans not to riot.

RJ who made derogatory comments could be arrested
PTI Friday, September 28, 2007 21:48 IST
KOLKATA: The Delhi-based radio jockey of a private FM radio channel could be arrested for his “derogatory and insulting” comments on Indian Idol Prashant Tamang which sparked protests in Darjeeling district of West Bengal, a senior police official said here on Friday.
“If necessary, the Radio jockey, who passed the comment, may be arrested,” IGP (Law and Order), Raj Kanojia, said.
He said the radio jockey’s comments had “hurt the sentiments of the people in the hills”.
Kanojia said that an investigating team, headed by the Darjeeling Superintendent of Police, would leave for Delhi to take up the issue with the Delhi administration and the FM radio channel there.
Meanwhile, GNLF MLA Santa Chhetri met West Bengal Chief Secretary A K Deb and demanded an immediate ban on the FM channel and punishment for the radio jockey.
She said the Chief Secretary assured her that he would speak to Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee and the Union Information and Broadcasting Ministry in this regard.

Dear all,
This is going crazy. Let’s keep it safe and accommodating to all. In a globalized world, the real issues that we face are poverty and starvation, whether it be in Somalia or Nepal; religious fundamentalism, whether it be far right Hinduism or neo-conservative Christianity; dowry system - women’s empowerment etc, some topical issues that people from South Asia cannot deny.
Lives of people along the borders, in South Asia, are tied together strongly. Ethnically we are not different. Race is such an ambiguous term. If you turn on pages of contemporary books on Anthropology and Human Genetics, theories abound that most of today’s human beings might have evolved from nomenclature of Homo sapiens that lived in the continent of Africa some 50, 000 years ago. Lucky us; this planet’s environment has been conducive for our species to grow in such a rapid pace that within a short span of 50,000 years we are here - around 6 billion of us. If we reflect on the big picture, these issues seem to be so remote and narrowly subjugated in the grand scheme of things. It’s the kind of culture in our sub-continent that impedes progress. Building bridges and roads, riding bikes and busses are not the only clues of development; a civilized society where liberty and rights of opinions are respected is greatest amongst all factors for sustenance. I mean, if we consider to have abandoned the clouts of Neanderthal man. It is sad that Darwins’ and Russell’s’ influences are not as passionately discussed as Mayawati and Laloo. One reason why we do not have a discourse on existence of god, thereby inflicting a malaise of skewed perspective; a general paralysis of thought.

Its about time as a country, we start making some conscious effort to be correct in our speech - especially in the racism department.
Gora, chinky, madrasi, I think all these phrases can use some rest.
When mainstream India cant handle most issues maturely, asking a marginalised and completely neglected region of India not to take offense to such flippance is little too much.

It is well known that Chacko is very intolerant towards other religions.. (look at his recent posts/comments on Slaman’s Ganesh Pandal visit or CSI member YSR’s decisions in AP).
In my view his comments are not directed towards the Nepalese race as such but towards the religion that most Nepalese follow.
But generally Chacko is nice to hide his hatred behind a veil of patriotism - he says he is an ‘Indian’
So, pl. ignore such fundamentalists.. they are a minority in India.

Hey, i really liked the following posted comment, which most of us missed out. Not to say i agree or disagree.
_______________________________
Dear Russel Peters,
Our tribe (no brother and sister nepalis, i didnt specifically choose the word) is on a rise. No one can make fun of us glorious gurkhas. Infact, now we teach our glorious gurkha history to one-year-old glorious gurkha babies so that they grow up feeling proud of what we, as a race (pun-unitended) have achieved. And yes, this new brother-singer is going to be a part of history books very soon.
And to all those who say that we nepalis dont have a sense of humour, I want to say, laughing at specific groups is not humour. To the above post i must say, sardarjis and doctors and all women should rise in protest (in separate groups, of course!) - how can anyone make fun of them! Even they have a glorious past… doctors have cured so many people, sardarjis have done punjab proud and women, well…
Just clarifying, their past is not as glorious as a group of himalayan people…
And Russel Peters, next time you make any asian jokes, somebaaady gonna get a hurt reaaaaal bad! you dont want all asians rising together and disrupting life in canada.
Russel, you had better be finding a new job for yourself.

Dear Chacko,
You have touched a raw nerve with the tone of your post, and I know you’re not a racist but simply somebody who didn’t see the severity of this nature. I have skipped most of the comments above as they are too abusive, but here is hoping the situation here does not aggravate any further. Maybe my simple post will be able to do a small justice to some parts of this issue and hoping you can humble my blog like before.
Regards always,

Hi Kima,
Always nice to hear from you. If you want to make a post go ahead. My post is not aimed at insulting anyone, I guess some people are more interested in creating an issue than to discuss what is written.
I stand by my post. Jokes should be taken in jest. The RJ was not making a hate speech, we was trying to be funny. He did not use abusive words nor did he encourage people to hurt or kill someone.
Once again, thank you for your kind note Kima,
Jacob

Yes I know Jacob, and thats what I tried highlighting in my post, about how similar issues will have different reactions at different communities. Having spent all my time and being a part of both the mongoloid and non-mongoloid communities of India (I’m just demarcating the two communities here for simplicity’s sake, please don’t mind), I have indeed noticed that certain actions have a complete different reactions when dealing with different communities.
The important thing is to know that all of us don’t think alike. And that’s exactly what makes us different from each other. Even if a sardarji can take a “santa banta” joke, or a marwari can take a “kanjoosi” joke, it would be in our best interest not to take it from granted that a nepali will take a “watchman” joke. By expecting others to behave the same way we are behaving is nothing but sheer ethnocentrism, which is often mistaken as racism, as is obvious from the above few comments. Racism only begets racism, and there’s no end to it, unless one side stops.
Hoping for peace here,
Kima.

I guess the debate in this forum was not on Indian, Nepalis, Hindu or Muslims. It was about whether RJ Nitin’s comments were racist and whether Chakko is supporting racism by finding Nitin’s racist comments humourous. All of your comments show the level of your humanity and intellectuality. Hollow claims of superiority donot prove anybody superior. I dont approve abusive language against anyone.
But chakko you have to live with some abusive language, if the commentators did that because it was you who touched the subject and it was you who instigated them by showing arrogancy and stubbornness.
TO RAHUL
I would like to inform you about some facts
* 90 pc beggers in Nepal are Indians.
* 95 pc ragpickers in Nepal are Indians
* 75 % drug addicts in Nepal are Indians
To Prateek/Himanshu
Gurkhas are burden? Do you have any Idia about Gurkha’s contribution to India’s economy and security? Do you know why your own Indian well-to-do Indians hire Nepalis? Can India return the Gurkha’s land alongwith the them? Into how many pieces you will divide India?
To Manu
Shed your superiority complex and stop being sarcastic. And It’s real, how small Nepal may be and how many bottles there are, the collectors are all Indians. India may have 1 billion bottles to be collected in a day out of 1 b people, Nepal too has 29 m bottles to be collected out of 29m people.
Rs 4billion ecomnomy? It’s enough for the population size. People dont die like insects in Nepal. 90 % nepalis are poor? I salute your GK. And how many Indians are poor? Just because u may have amassed property by corruption, not all Indians can be rich. The level of poverty in Nepal and India is same.
And reading your comments, it does not suit you to even take the name of Manu the saint.
To Aamir
Nepalis go to India for study and jobs. You dont have to have so much superiority complex. The world knows how India is and what India is not. Indians come to Nepal to beg, pick rags, collect kawaris. They come to kill, rape and loot.
Read the history, the british raj gave some Nepali parts to India. People living in these areas are as Indians as you are. I dont consider them as nepalis just because they have Nepali origin.
And your science has proved how beneficial cow piss is. Your own piss is also beneficial for health if u use it properly. And why anger over Hindus? It’s Indian Hindus who are violent and hardliners. I can guarantee majority of Nepali Hindus are more liberal than the Indians.
To Chakko
Everybody knows how many prostitutes are in India and how many are HIV -infected. Everybody knows the India’s ‘clean’ politics. Everbody knows the poverty level and life in India. Maoists are there in India too making it hard for India to comntrol. And who are these people who traffick Nepali and Bangladeshi women to Indian brothels? You know the answer. There are thousands of times more Indian womens in prostitution than the whole prostitutes in South Asia.
Nepali soldiers, if they are fighting for US or UK in Iraq or Afghanistan, are earning a living out of their courage. They are not there to loot and cheat. Do ypou know there is a proverb in Nepal “One dead Indian can cheat 10 live nepalis”. This proverb was not developed just like that. It reveals the character of Indians.
We also know the nature of strikes in India. No point in ridiculing Nepal based on bundhs or like that. I dont find any significant differenmce between India and Nepal so that Indians should have so much superiority complex. Just area and population size doesnot make any country great.
Whatever you say or whatever you feel. RJ Nitin’s comments are racist if you take them uniasedly. I agree he tried to be funny, but crossed the limits. Any person in media should not cross the limit. You are free to have your opinion, but when you make public this opinion it should not hurt anybody’s sentiment. Till last, you have stuck to what you wrote. I dont think it will make you a great writer. Yeah, you have the capacity to be a controversial writer though.
Good luck.

* 100 pc Labour Workers in Bhutan are Indians.
* 100 pc shoemaker are indian.

Everybody,
Just to bring some perspective here.
Haven’t we all heard Sardarji jokes? Haven’t we all seen Mahmood mock all south indians as being dhoti wearing, ash smeared, ayyo-ayyo blabbering fool? Haven’t we seen gujjus and marwaris being stereotypically portrayed as cunning money-minded businessmen. Haven’t we seen the mock image of Bengalis being portrayed as over-talkative lazy asses? Haven’t we seen all Pakistanis being portrayed as evil in every bollywood till a few years ago?
We are a diverse subcontinent with so many cultural differences. Please don’t think Im justifying what the RJ did, by using a stereotype of Nepalis/Gurkhas. As a person with a public voice, I agree that all of you are entitled to being offended about it. But could we not do this peacefully? Could we not stop listening to his radio station? Stop buying the products whose ads sponsor his show? Isn’t that the way modern societies show dissent, show disapproval?
Now just think a little bit about what the author is trying to say here. Is he really insulting anybody? He is asking for the same peaceful demonstration of dissent. Of course, his tone could have been different. Of course, it may have come across as being a little too direct. But the sheer volume of abusive comments simply proves Chacko’s point.
So let’s be civil and prove Chacko wrong. Let’s prove that stereotypical jokes by RJs and mutiny blogger’s opinions about Gurkhas are wrong. I can understand why some of you are angry. But show that anger in the way it’s always worked in the subcontinent - non-violently.

Firstly…I’d like to say that no joke is funny when its on you!
Secondly…a joke is a joke but a poke up your ass is a poke!
The so called sense of humour was indeed a poke! No two ways about it…coz it was derogatory.
I know exactly where it came from coz I have spent 3 years in Delhi…and I know how Delhi people are! The issue here is not about Nepalese people man….its about how fucked up most of Delhi people are. This Nitin cracked this joke coz he was dead sure that this joke would go well with the “Delhites”…thats the psychology of it. Coz these sort of jokes are cracked day in and day out…everytime a north-eastener joins a college, rides in a bus, goes to buy something in a shop, is in the marketplace etc etc etc. If you were a north-eastern girl you would know about it…for get being a nepali. There are numerous cases of harrasment dude! I have good buddies in Delhi and even they would agree that Delhi is full of asholes! Delhi people think that success is living in a posh colony, having a good salary and owning a honda! if you dont believe ask any “Aunty” or “behanji”.
So If anyone has to “Grow up”…Mr Chacko…its the Delhi people and then the rest of India! So spare us your pseudo-intellectual bullshit and type some poetry or prose! Ya…probably on nature or some abstract crap! grow up Mr chacko…but before that…OPEN YOUR EYES!

no doubt that the remarks stereotyping all nepalis as gorkhas/chowkidars is unwarranted and should be deplored. but was the way the nepalis reacted to the comments correct? stopping an ambulance carrying a patient in dire need of medical help at the hospital gate? did it make nitin feel any more/less guilty? why should a patient who never made those remarks suffer because some jockey has made some remarks in a far flung city?
call it a red herring if you like, but the fact is even though what nitin said shouldn’t have been said but what that gorkha mob did outside the hospital was no less shameful!!!

Hello friend try to know the fact and then compare with the article. This article is shit. Just read the fact below which is already written by anuj. And if you again don’t believe then come here to Silliguri, ask the local people out here.
Fact
The protesters did not resort to violence. There were trouble makers in the local mobs who attacked the protesters. The procession was peaceful and there were not even slogans shouted during the procession.
Fact:
The protesters, which included about 800 students, were stoned by local mobs, and chased into a local court where they were stranded for many hours.. with the police preventing the local mobs from forcing into the compound to further attack the protesters.
Fact:
It was the local mobs who stoned the peaceful rally. It was the local mobs who attacked the rally. It was the local mobs who clashed with the police. It was the local mobs who burnt vehicles. All the protesters were cornered into a court’s compound and obviously couldn’t have done this damage.
So Mr. Chacko grow up your self and just don’t believe what the media says. Otherwise the fake news will turn your beautiful dream to nightmare.

Hey Chacko, if you want to come here in Silliguri to know the actual fact then i will take you to the incident spot, meet the local people, meet the mob, meet the protestor t and too i will take you to the Silliguri best Restaurent (KhalPara restaurent). There i will offer you a thier special soup “muzi soup”. I think this soup will definetly boost up your knowlegde.

I am a Gurkha myself and live in England where Shilpa issue made her the winner. It does not upset me since I have never been to India let alone work as a chowkidar (FYI: there are Gurkhas outside India too), lucky, aren’t I? Although I used to be a Gurkha a decade ago I have now moved on and also GROWN up as suggested by the author.
The author is right - we ALL need to grow up. What the author has failed to establish is the fact that jokes of this nature are produced by people of little intelligence who do not know that there are other people less intelligent than them who might resort to violence. Whatever the issue, violence will not bring about anything productive, whether this is Shilpa issue, Gurkha issue, Clarkes shoes branding shoes “Krishna” issue, Holy cow with TB being slaughtered in Wales issue, Hritik issue, Jammu & Kashmir issue, Muslim-Hindu issue, 9/11 issue etc. Let us accept Buddhism (or just part of it which preaches HARMONY but NO VIOLENCE) as the best philosophy we all can adhere to. You do not have be Buddhist to believe non-violence but you might as well be since Buddha was born in Gurkhas homeland and got knowledge in India.

u jus jealous cos we’re gettin ahead of u and were alwayz ahead of u…nd u shud think a million times before making such comments cos u are such a loser tryin to hide the worst things in ur country and ur loss by making a fuss abt the other country’s affairs.now thts wat an ideal loser is…i think(nd strongly believe tht all my nepali ppl think too)tht the indians lyk u all fit the bill of “ideal losers” quite perfectly!!!!
n u talk abt humour???? well listen up loser! we kno all about it!! nd thsi topic is supposed to be humour?! well i guess in ur country humour means makin other ppl feel low nd then laugh on their faces..but to us it means make other laugh as well..nd thts the main thing tht separate u lot frm us….u laugh at ppl’s sorrow nd envy their sucees..while we GURKHALIS…laugh nd celebrate with them and cry with them….

to compare mehmod’s potrayal of south indians and this RJ’s comments about gurkha brothers….is yet another bird brain attempt to justify the remarks.
there is a difference between the two scenarios…whereas mehmod’s characters about the accent, attire and other surfacial aspects….the portrayals never mocked their “dignity”, values, intelligence, honesty, etc.
sardarji jokes are not about the sardars…it is about the jokes themselves…..otherwise we wouldn’t be having a sardar PM, would we?
mr.chacko’s mallu pronounciation could be funny to many non-mallus…but anyone saying in jest that “he is a vile lazy fatso like any other mallu christian” is not being humorous at all.
the RJ spoke his hidden discrimination (even if he didnt know its existence) which stereotyped gurkhas to be fit only to be watchmen…and that is simply racist and third-rate. Maybe he has to catch up with times. So do you.
As for the nepalis and bhutanese in here who have started abusing indians…I say again….this is not about India or Nepal….it is about characters like the RJ and others those who find his comments “funny”.

“Following the showcause notice, the channel had given its reply and also explained that it has already apologised to the Gorkha community. But we found the remarks to be definitely derogatory and the remedial steps were not adequate,” a senior Information and Broadcasting Ministry official said.

Sigmund Freud proposed that jokes are a hidden form of aggression. That is conspicuous in the case of ethnic jokes, which have the power to cause grave offence.
Ethnic jokes can be vicious and hurtful. It was in extremely poor taste, even uncouth, on the part of a radio jockey at Red FM to have made a joke about the ethnic roots of ‘Indian Idol’ victor Prashant Tamang.

He ‘does not think’ the remark was that of a racist – even though it was directed towards a minority. Infact, he finds it funny – even though it’s causing a lot of issues within the country - He does not want to define ‘sense of humor’ – because the RJ’s ‘sense of humor’ failed miserably this time – I bet the majority of the listeners are not laughing …. On the contrary – it’s having adverse response. He knows its wrong but writes ‘Live with it’. And then on Saturdays -

Attention: “Mr Nepali”
I understand that the comment of the RJ is to be condemned. However, we should understand something and that is, “Nepalis” are considered to be “Chaukidares” and “Momo walas” by most of the people. Nitin is not the only one who thinks alike. The only problem is that he aired it out.
Please be humane n don’t bother him. The best one can do about it is try to change this attitude of people who think so. I m sure that any attack to the RJ wouldn’t solve the issue. There are n number of jokes on “Sardars” as well but everybody knows it for a fact that they are rulers in any field the opt for. It is just the way you take it. Be a sport ya….this is not the way to prove the point.
It is very sad to see that people who are educated as well(eg. people who r posting mess)are behaving in such a barbaric manner.

Hey Sefali if any Nepalis hate Indians, that’s only because some of the Indians keep on insulting Nepalis, only because some Indians keep on hating Nepalis, just because some Indians like to laugh at the innocence and sincerity of the Nepalis, and just because they keep on treating badly and disriminate and dominate over the Nepalis. That’s why Nepalis hate Indians if they do at all. Otherwise, we Nepalis don’t hate Indians just because they are Indians, just because they are not Nepalis. I also have good Indian friends, and I also share a lot of common things with you Indians, including the history, ethnicity and the culture. Don’t think that Nepalis hate Indians just for no reason.

If you don’t have the heart that can feel for others, if you don’t have the insight to see the difference between the humor and insults, and if you don’t have the civility to treat others with respect, then there is no right to ask us why Nepalis hate Indians. Nepalis don’t hate all Indians. They hate them who don’t have that kind of heart, insight and civility. They hate them who keep on maliciously insulting and instigating the already marginalised and underprevileged section of the society. Don’t think that Nepalis are born to hate Indians. They are like you. They are like everyone and you would also do the same if you had had to go through the similar experience.

You r right, Nepalis are very sincere people and they fight loyally. There is a so called Gorkha regiment of Indian army. There are Gorkhas in British army too. They have been employed for security in Brunei and many places else where. They fight and serve loyally whoever they fight for. Nepalis are still fighting in Iraq and Afganistan on behalf of British army. Nepalis fought in Folkland war on behalf of British army. Nepalis fought with and died in the Indian war with China, and Pakistan and they died in the mountains of Kasmir on behalf of India and so on.
But, don’t think that Nepalis are violent people. They are only sincere people with their own sense of dignity. And, Nepal is not just a land of fighters. It is the birthplace of the messenger of peace Gautam Buddha also.

I criticised you based on what you said before and now. I didn’t criticize you for any other reason.
Every people from certain society have their own mind set. In the eyes of people who have conservative and backward mind-set you are bad and from your liberal, open-minded point they are bad, that is understandable. That’s because of a kind of misunderstanding between the two mind-sets. Interact with them and they will stop thinking negatively unless they are brainwashed fundamentalists.

Not to condone the kind of behavior mentioned in the article, but its not hard to imagine such a reaction.
I am a bong, but spent some 4 memorable years of my childhood in Dimapur, Kohima, Shillong…. The kind of behavior a north-easterner or a nepali have to put up with in main-stream india its a shame. One just has to step out in delhi say, to meet leery eyes and lewd comments, 60×24x7 and for having done nothing at all.

Thanks srean. That’s the true Indian spirit. People of India should understand that India is a multi-cultural, multireligious, multi-lingual and multi-racial society as is ours. And, they should stop thinking that people of differences are all foreigners. Just because there exists a country Nepal does not mean that all the Nepali speaking people came from Nepal to invade India stop treating them as foreigners , invaders, beggers or whatever. They lived in the north India since ages. Once in a history they were parts of Nepal, but in the past, Nepal lost some of its lands in the wars with British India or whatever India and they were separated from the mainland Nepal. Now, if you claim that those lands are Indian territory, than treat its inhabitants as Indian too as Indian as others from other sects and tribes. If you want to be proud in being a citizen of big land, then its your responsibility to have a big heart too. Thanks again to Srean and Shefali for understanding the gravity of the issue.

I haven’t seen my dad leaving my mom. I haven’t seen my brother leaving my sister in law. I haven’t seen my brother in law leaving my sister and I strongly believe that I won’t do that. If there were some Nepalis, that’s exceptional and that happens everywhere and that’s their private matters. I have also seen the idols of Indians leaving their women. Raj Kapoor did, Amir Khan did, Saif-Ali Khan did, Dharmendra did and there are many many. So, should I also stereotype?
But, if you are talking about some Nepali guys leaving Indian wives, that I don’t know at all. If there is any such incidence, then I can only assume that perhaps the woman was abusive to the Nepali guy asking him always to be subservient because she thought that Nepalis deserve only to be Chowkidars, or may be the guy was selfish or may be there were some other reasons.
But, I have seen one guy from my hometown who is happily married with one ‘proper Indian’ (not the one from Nepali speaking community) woman for decades.

Dear Shefali,
You need not worry about your travel to Nepal or for that matter to any part of India in the Sub-Himalayan region that is inhabitated by the Nepali race fight from Kashmir to the Manipur not to talk about Sikkim and Darjeeling, the two state/district populated by mjority of Nepalis.
Nepalis are perhaps the most broad hearted people in the world. It is because Nepali community comprises of different sub-communities having different languages and sub-cultures of their own besides belonging to both Aryan and Mongoloid stocks as in the state of Assam yet bound together by centuries of shared values and a composite culture assimilated from all the sub-communities. If some look like Chinese / Japanese / Thai / Korean, some look like anyone from North India (Punjabis / Biharis / UPites /Bengalis), whereas others look like anyone from any part of the world.
The anager rather anguish expressed by Nepalis in this blog is due to sterotyping a Nepali as the community who are mosly engaged in the menial jobs and it is directed against any one who has that narrow vision not to speak of Jonathan Brady aka Nitin.
Therefore, question of liking or disliking Indians by Nepalese in Nepal does not arise at all. Not less than 15% of population of Nepal are of Indian origin / descent and they are living hale and hearty without any persecution unlike many immigrants in other parts of the world. However, stray incidents takes place wherein people of Inidian descent might have been targetted. But that type of incidenttakes place for the citizens of Nepal too.
No matter how much one writes to convince you unless you yourself land in Nepal you will never know what is Nepal and Nepalese people.
In the similar vein I also would like to tell my Nepali friends ( I am from India) that all Indians do not hate Nepalese. I studied in Bangalore and was in different forum in almost all parts of India, except in the Northeast (barring Guwahati and Shillong), I was never discriminated against although I looked like any one from the typical Nepali with mongoloid look. Rather they always regarded me and kept me in high esteem unlike in my own community / place . Whether in work place or in travel I have never faced any problem.
Therefore, good or bad people exist in any culture. To reassure you, yet the percentage of tolerant people in Nepal or Nepali community are defintitely more than in any community. So you can easily come to Nepal and settle down with your love bird.
Nobody in the street will know that you are an Indian in the first place because you will look like any Bahuni of Chhetrini. Even if you were of mongoloid stock you would look like Limbuni / Raini / Magarni / Gurungni / Tamangni.
So pl.. pl… do not worry.
Yours truly

Dear Shefali,
As said earlier it makes no difference whether you look aryan or mongoloid nobody even raise a finger at you. Inter-community marriage within the Nepali community or with that of Indian descent, or even with that of other nationality are very common. As regards marriage between Indian and Nepali they are considered as within the community.
It is the history and the geography that separates Nepal and India. Otherwise they are so common that even some of the states of India look in moany ways different from the other.
So Shefali don’t worry at all, just settle down with your nepali guy and produce as many children as possible.

Chacko,
I know your post was to receive opinions. But as the comment came on more, you started to criticize our country and that is what i see as being a racist. I think sometimes it’s best to keep your opinions to yourself as the saying goes ’silence is golden’.
And people, please let’s not ruin our special bond between India and Nepal. I’m surprised that now we have started criticisizing both India and Nepal. We need to understand that we’re like brothers.
Whatever you say about India is like saying about Nepal and whatever you say about Nepal is like saying about India.
We can’t let this stupid post invade our mind.
Besides, remember if there ever is something like a world competition which India took part in and Nepal didn’t, we’d all probably be screaming for India to win like in the Asian Idol, we voted for Abhijeet.
I think we all should stop all this hatred for one another and be on friendly terms with each other.
Spread peace, not hate:D

Dear Chacko,
If you are trying to gain fame by publishing this RACIST article online, I’m very very very sorry and afraid that you’re actually in your UTOPIA world. Do pinch yourself hard or make an appointment to the nearest Clinical.
Please grow up yourself. Do not bring down the name of your country, INDIA. Ooops, I forgot that was what you’re actually doing.
When I insult your country won’t you get uptight?
Nono, Gurkhas do NOT have low self
