I'm sorry for adding one more thread in Prashant Tamang.
Warning: please don't read if you're seeking to read perfect english in sajha.


We talked too much about him, and I agree that calling him a a pride of Nepal, and all other nationalistic words were a bit too much. I'm and will always be the fan of him. Reading the blogs and posts of indians in their forums showed that very few of these indians supported Prashant. They were trying to be nice, but it made me mad going through these posts. Some of the things I noticed:

- John making a sad or disappointed face after glancing through a box; he went to see the name again, so I'm not sure whether he made the face after seeing Prashant's name as winner or before it.
- Alisha throwing a 'khata', given by Prashant's mother to ground and making a face.
- This must be the first time all the judges hinted that Amit should win.
- Judges like Javed and Alisha went publicly saying that 'Amit should win'.
- Anchors of the show, Hussain and Mini supporting for Amit publicly.
- Amit was awarded the car even if he lost. (I personally think that Amit is a very good singer and deserves all the best, but the decision to him a car was made instantly; so I doubt that Prashant would never be given a car had Amit won the contest).
- Rumours saying that Amit has already been invited to bollywood with several lucrative contracts and Amit's fans are saying that they'll not buy albums of Prashants, and neither the bollywood is going to accept Prashant.
- I realized something bitter since Richa episode.
- Now this RJ Nitesh Kumar guy is saying 'Choukidaar se idol tak'
- Many Amit fans said, Prashant may be nepali idol, but not the indian idol


We were bashing Prashant supporters earlier. But what about nepali musicians promoting indian contestants, not only indian idol but also other indian musical contestants. Read the following:

Music Director: Sambhujeet Baskota
Movie: "Kaha Bhet Hola"
Playback singers: Udit Narayan Jha, Shaan, and almost all the participants of the program SaReGaMa and Voice of India contestants Maauj and Priyani.

Well, it was expected. The reaction, I mean, even though the Nitin guy went too far with his comment. That is against all journalism ethics.

As far as the comparison between Amit and Prashant goes, even I agree that Prashant is 19 to Amit's 20. On top of that, Prashant badly lacks the showmanship that Amit possesses. BUT Indian idol (or American Idol or Nepal Tara or whatever) is not there to see who the better singer is. It is there to see who has won more hearts. I think Prashant did not win just on the strength of the SMS sent by Nepalese communities and the Indian police. He won with his down to earth demeanor. The shy and quiet boy was the underdog an everyone loves underdogs on screen. So Prashant was also able to garner the sympathy votes from most of the viewers who were not already Amit's fans.

Hussain and Mini's support for Amit was evident during the final gala when Hussain (or was it Mini) who urged the people to vote earnestly because, he said, "apne desh ki izzat ki sawaal hai". To me, that statement translated as "a Nepali should not be allowed to defeat an Indian". The judges reactions were still not as extreme was the reactions after the results of Indian Idol 2 when some of the judges walked out in protest.

As for Alisha, I will not consider her a judge at all. She does not have a single iota of proper judgment among her capabilities. That is why she used to get into verbal fights with Anu Malik, who - in spite of being a pompous a***** - was right most of the times.

In all, let's hope and pray that Prashant can live up to all the vibe. We already know that negative comments only spurs him to do better. So, I think any negative remarks now will further compel him to prove these racists wrong.

Amen

Hussain and Javed Akhtar gave the interview saying that Amit should win before the results.

I'm going to rethink about being entertained from bollywood.

In Hindi:

"JO JEETA WOHI SIKANDER JO HARA O BANDAR"
