This MONDAY, I delivered a presentation about Nepal voluntarily for american students in GEOGRAPHY class as the lesson was about SOUTH EAST ASIA. As always a first, I started first as a presenter and was a fabulous performance as one of my american friend said except one incident. But as soon as that dhoti finished his presentation, he started adding some more info in dhoti accent like:
DHoti: Nepal ez also part of India
MARSHAL67: WHAT? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?
DHOTI: YEAH ISN'T NEPAL PART OF INDIA?
MARSHAL67: WHAT MAKES YA THINK THAT NEPAL PART OF INDIA?
DHOTI; WELL, NEPALI WATCH HINDI MOVIES, NO VISA REQUIRED, SIMILIAR LANGUAGE, LOTS OF NEPALI WORKERS.
MARSHAL67: THEN I CAN SAY CANADA AND MEXICO IS ALSO PART OF U.S. THEY WATCH ENGLISH MOVIE, SPEAK ENGLISH.
DHOTI: WELL IT'S NOT LIKE THAT.
MARSHAL67: WELL, I KNOW LOT OF NEPS WATCH DHOTI MOVIES BUT THEY ALSO WATCH ENGLISH MOVIES, SO THEY ARE ALSO AMERICAN, THEN.
DHOTI: I DON'T MEAN THAT.
MARSHAL67: TELLING NEPAL PART OF INDIA IS WHAT YOU TRYING TO TELL INFRONT OF SOPHOMORE OR JUNIORS GRADUATES.
DHOTI: WELL I AM SORRY FOR THAT BUT THAT'S WHAT EVERYBODY THINKS.
MARSHAL67: YOU CAN THINK YOURSELF AS GEORGE BUSH OR BIN LADEN, NO BOUNDARY BUT BOUNDARY COUNTS IN NATIONALITY.
STUDENTS LAUGHS AND LOT OF SOUND POLLUTION, MURMERING.
PROFF: (ANGRY MOOD): FOLKS THIS IS NOT A COMMUNICATION OR PHILOSOPHY CLASS, SO BETTER BE INFORMATIONAL OR DON'T EVEN VOLUNTEER.
MARSHAL67: WHAT MATTERS ME IS MY NATIONALITY. IF MY NATION'S PRESTIGE COMES UNDER SCRUTINY, I CAN'T BEAR IT. JUST THINK WHEN SOME BODY TELLS YOU RUSSIAN INSTEAD OF AMERICAN.
PROFF: I AGRREE. ALRIGHT YOU GUYS CAN LEAVE THE CLASS.
NO APPLAUD AS THE PRESENTATION WENT CRAP PARTICULARLY FOR STUDENTS.
ABOVE INCIDENT WAS REAL AND OCCURED ON MONDAY AT 10:00AM. I WAS TOTALLY UPSET BY DHOTI ARGUMENT OF THINKING NEPAL AS A PART OF INDIA. I'VE PROMISED FROM THEN, I WOULD NEVER LISTEN DHOTI MUSIC NOR DHOTI MOVIE.
THE REASON WHY DHOTI ARE THINKING A PART OF INDIA, IS BECAUSE
- WE WATCH DHOTI MOVIES RATHER THAN NEPALI.
- WE CAN SPEAK DHOTI LANG WELL.
- DARJEELING, EX-NEPAL PART IS NOW A PART OF INDIA
-NEPAL TOO SMALL TO BE A COUNTRY IN COMPARED TO INDIA.
WHAT WE CAN DO TO PREVENT US FROM NATIONALITY ILLUSION?
- NEVER OR REDUCE WATCHING DHOTI MOVIES.- TALK ENGLISH WITH DHOTI'S
- NEVER OR REDUCE LISTENING HINDI MUSIC.
- IF SOMEBODY SAYS IT, EXPLAIN HIM ABOUT IT AND BE OFFENDED.
- LOOK FOR AMERICAN JOBS BETTER THAN DHOTI CROOK GASSTATION
- VISA REQUIRED FOR INDIA.
-EDUCATE YOUR AMERICAN FRIENDS ABOUT IT.
I am not sure how much impact will the above things l do to secure our nationality to foreigners as well as increase nepali kollywood industry, but it will atleast reduce other's and ofcourse dhoti's mentality to think nepal as a part of India.
Whoever agrees with me, follow me up.
