Used Nepali for language of Nepal and Nepalese for the people of Nepal. it's so simple yet people make it so difficult. anyway Sanjog Rai is my good friend and he did a great job in writing this piece of article.

Simple as this is: English language = Nepali Language American People = Nepalese People Don't take the equal sign as in math but I'm just trying to clarify by using an example!

And why is it so embarrassing if I may ask? Should they be embarrassed or you? Frankly this embarrassing "embarrassment" is misplaced. And you yourself call yourself "Gurkha" when you fully know that Gurkhalis are from Gorkha? Do you even know Nepali history? People don't know geography and you don't know your history. Well - that makes a good match!
