Indianized Nepalese
Starting the day with Colgate, watching Aaj Tak as early news, cooking the foold in Hawkinn's Pressure Cooker, Dressing up with Auml vest, moving to office in Hero Honda, coming back early to watch if India wins or lose against Sri Lanka and ending the day with Star news!
Isn't the case of almost every Nepalese the same who live in so called towns and cities? Still on the local buses traveling within the valley and outside the valley we get to hear the Indian Songs! Young boys prefer Katrina Kaif instead of Jharna Bajracharya, and girls rush after Sahid Kapor and get's shocked hearing the name of Aryan Sigdel. Not just in young generation, even the generation ahead salutes Dharmendra and is unknown about anyone called Sunil Thapa in Nepal. Paras Khadka would definitely sound odd when the cricket lovers there stay talking about Yubraj Singh. However we love calling our self Nepali!
What can be the reason that India is having such a huge impact on Nepalese society? Umm...a simple answer maybe India is our neighboring country, if so we have China as our neighboring country too. Or is it because our leaders have huge influence of Indian leaders so we have it?
It's true that Nepal has got connection with India since the early time as Buddha went to India, Sita got married with India (umm....thinking of today even Bipana Thapa did). But we possess our own identity! We protest when Indian actor something against Nepal, and tear the posters when Indian movie claim something against Nepal's sovereignty!
Analyzing the reasons, we will definitely find our weakness. Why not to demand for Yamaha FZ instead of Annalifan? When FZ has more attracting features? Yes! In the similar manner, we are backward and being the neighbor India can easily take advantage of it. I am from the bordering town, my family goes across the boarder to buy sugar, as the cost varies of Rs 10 per kg across the boarder. If the product would price Rs 10 less, we would have bought it in the shop nearby itself. The unability of Nepalese
market to provide in similar price led us to go there. The latest cell phone, Nokia 2700 costs Rs 6500 there and it takes Rs 7500 in Nepali market. So why to waste Rs 1000? When I get same pre and post features.
On my way towards the boarder, there was written Aba Mobile Kinna Pari Janu Pardaina
(You don't have to go across the boarder to buy the cell phone). But Why?? Getting influenced is not a huge thing, but what may be the condition after hundred of years if Nepal remains in the same position? We cannot stay disconnected from India in any manner as we have to depend from Petrol to Utensil on them. It's difficult for us to compete with them however we can make an attempt to do it.
Losing with India in South Asian Games does not mean we are always back. See..we choose Sugam Pokharel instead of Falguni Pathak! So let's get aware and work. Let's not and never ask the question to ourself..Are we Indianized?
