Ok, so if somebody calls your dad a cabbie (who I'm assuming is a brown Indian), an Indian Muslim a terrorist, a Pathan a homosexual, is this criticism or something else? Should they gracefully accept this and say, 'Thank you very much, I will try not to be a cabbie, a Muslim or a Pathan in future?' If you think, then good for you, keep staying happy at being called a Paki or a cabbie's daughter, not everybody will though.</small>

i think this RJ is known for making such remarks, didn't he say something derogatory about gandhi too? would that justify india erupting into one mass protest? what nitin said was wrong, but it doesn't justify the violent reaction from certain people, and there are definitely better ways to go about voicing displeasure. 60 injured so far...nitin is sitting comfortably in his home while nepalis are out on the street shedding blood. very smart.

If you cared to read what the RJ said then you wouldn't have uttered the sentence you wrote above...he didn't criticise Prashant, he made fun of entire community. BTW, Red FM has apologies and I think we should now close this chaptor. The violence in Siliguri was uncalled for and the culprits should be arrested, violence should have no place in civilised societies. I love the ways people protest in developed world and still register a huge impact.

It is not that Prashant got votes only from Nepali (Nepal != Nepali) community or all Nepalis (I preferred Amit over Prashant for example) rooted for him, he got votes from across the spectrum (IF is a proof). It is true for all contestants, some of them might have flaunted their regional identities but at the end of day they all got votes from all parts of INDIA.

The more important issue is that why is that INDIANs from NE have to constantly give proof that they are INDIANs...just bec'se they look different? They are called chinkies, chineses, nepalis (in derogatory manner) and what not...sorry guys this is unacceptable. In a civil society such things should not exist.

Even though i live in a multi-cultural society, such things happen all the time. obviously cos of people who think all indians/pakistanis are the same even though india is probably 3/4 times bigger if not more. and no, thats not racist, but the things they say, i dont even want 2 go in 2 it but the typical stereo-typing of how we all eat by our hands and wear red dotted bindhis😕 (It happens all the time doesn't make it right...and doesn't mean we shouldn't protests)

thats why i said im used to it, and why should i blame them? its the knowledge they shud b getting 4rm skl that they are not getting. and when we dont like someone we have the habit of degrading others while we go down too. thats so stupid! its strange how the whole fprum other than those who are nepali mainly support prashant and then we say he gets votes 4rm all over.😕😆all friends 4rm UK support amit here only. and my relatives in mumbai too. but people havent got time to be wasting their money on some talent show. aint we got enough probs in india? sooo happy they didnt vote, we all know who has got the singing record and who is stuck with 1 single flop 1..lol (Sorry, that can't be farther from Truth...is everyone on IF who supports Prashant a Nepali? Did Prashant got votes only from Nepalese people? Anyhow, the fact that Nepalese supported Prashant shouldn't come as a suprise...Assamese/Bongs supported Debo...Rajasthanis supported Sandeep, Maharashtrians supported Abhijit, Kashmiris supported Qazi etc etc (but others also supported them)...no-one raised such a hue and cry then. I smell double standards. Had Amit won, would he been termed as Meghalaya Idol or Meghalaya Ki Voice?)

u no what, that RJ will probably think twice before saying sumthing now so hats off👏but i assure you, his views are still the same... (No, I can assure you that his views would have changed 😆)

I have seen comment like all Nepalese are chawkidar, indians are slave of british, all punjabis are dhabawala and all the pakistani are terrorist. Just tell me if statements like these in media doesnot ignite anger within you.

Dear Sir

You can only remember Nepali as 'bahadur' who guards the home at night but you forget to remember that how many 'bahadur' guards your India in the borders. Go and count the fallen soldiers in Kargil and Siachen. Go and open the history and see who were deployed during the war with China and Pakistan. And then ask who is true Indian. Shouting at radio and making vulger remarks for the whole community is not same as making comment on the bollywood peoples. Try to learn the word called responsibility. Just having resources in your hand is not being indian do something for nation and then shout loud that u are indian. But true indian will never shout and don't need to prove Indian..

👏👏Very ture , The indian either has to be glamorous like sania mirza (even if she loses ,shes india's pride ) or has to be a foreigner settled in India or and Indian who has left India like Mittal then these RJ are very proud of them .

If he is a guard or any common man ,who represent the majority of India these so called Rjokers who cosider themselves very modern n educated , find it amusing and laugh at the people who try to succeed . Shame on their pea sized brains !!

👏
