People will not be tired of talking about the Nepali cap he wore as soon as he was declared the Idol. Yes, he had it on above typical Indian attire.

Nepalis of Nepal celebrated his achievement as their own. Nepalis of India took it as an event for communal aggrandizement and identity consolidation. And, here we have read extensive intellectualization of Prashant?s victory as the metaphor for national unity and a lesson for the bickering politicians.Prashant?s winning has been celebrated as one Nepali?s success to boost Nepali identity by beating Indian contestants. So, cheers to the Nepalese that Sony had its networks in Nepal and their Nepaliness was awakened for a while. Cheers also to Sony and its sponsors that they could rea... More About: Idols
