Hi Rajesh,
Do these jokes make you laugh eh? Certainly I can not find anything funny. And the reason is not because you are making fun of Hindu’s , but solely due to the fact that these jokes do not find any resemblance to any characteristic features/identities of Hindu’s. Hence evoking practically, no humor at all.

I think the whole matter has been exaggerated. The Nepalese have taken undue advantage of the statement made. In any case they do not like Indians-so what the heck? Two thirds of their economy run on India, most of their poor people work here. Most of them have setteled in India and, yes, we respect the Gurkhs Rifles because of whom there is still respect for Nepalese.
Indians at the most crack jokes on them the same way as we crack jokes on Sardars, Bengalis, Madrasis, etc.as a part of the Indian mainstream. We don’t hate them. But these people hate us from the core of their hearts which was obvious in the way they expressed their feelings!
If they don’t like India it is no point living & working here. They are free to move out & close the borders. No problem! Let the Chinese take them over & kick them the way they are doing in Tibet! And believe me, they wouldn’t dare to even mew in front of the Chinese!

I empathise with your problems, Mr. Bose. Hope your daughter is well now.

Mr. Bose’s example is exactly what I was trying to showcase. Why should innocent people face the brunt of an RJ’s comments. Get a life you guys and don’t wate your time and other people’s money with such lame protests.

I reached this site through google. I thank Amit for his concern shown on this issue.

For all those who have posted their opposed views here, you all got to hear this what my family has faced due to the violent protests.

My brother had taken my 8 year old daughter to his shop the day this incident happened. An angry mob protesting against comments made by RJ Nitin suddenly started vandalising shops in that area. My 8 year old daugther got injured, my brother’s shop was also vandalised and he got his hand fractured in an attempt to stop the people breaking into his shop.

I want to ask all u guys who have opposed amit in this post…. are you going to put things into place for my family? The emotional distress, financial problems that we had to face… can you guys remunerate us with that?

I have nothing to do with RJ Nitin and his personal opinions that he is airing to anybody under the sun… i have nothing to do with prashant or indian idol… then why should my family face this?

I agree that the solution to this problem is not the wanton destruction of property and social agitation. However, you have to understand that such comments deeply hurt people’s sentiments and it naturally arouses a certain level of passion. Whenever, the topic is about race, religion, ethnicity people get emotional and you have to except tempers to flare. It’s human!

Also keep in mind that RJ Nitin comments brings forth a greater social issue. Indians of Nepali origins have traditionally been stigmatized, belittled and stereotyped. They are never appreciated for their contribution to Indian society. For example is RJ Nitin aware of how many Gurkha soldiers are guarding the Indian border? Or for that matter why is it that so many Indian houses and businesses choose Gurkahs as security guards in the first place? No mention is ever made of their honesty and bravery. In fact the word “Badhur” (which means brave) now carries a very demeaning connotation in Indian society. Finally the protest isn’t about one isolated incident. RJ Nitin was the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

Hi all. I know this joke was not in the right sense. But does that mean we people get on the streets and start bringing down life to a halt. Create bandhs , burn vehicles, wil that lead to an end of these jokes and racials slurs if you may call them so. Remeber, an eye for an eye will leave the whole world blind.

Infact if we just turn a blind eye to these petty issues and concentrate on reducing flesh trade, child exploitation, and other problems of global nature, then only will we see a more prosperous India.
