Everest lies in India not Nepal, claims erratic Indian envoy in Korea

Telegraph Nepal

India’s ambassador to South Korea, Vishnu Prakash Bharati in an interview with the Korea Times Daily, June 10, 2012, has claimed that the majestic Mount Everest lies within the Indian Territory.

Has excelled Rakesh Sood. Must have graduated from an unregistered University. 

Visnhu, the then spokesperson of the Indian Ministry of Foreign Affairs was appointed as the ambassador to South Korean on December 7, 2011, who is deliberately trying to undermine Nepal’s identity intentionally, claim critics those who understand the Indian foreign ministry bureaucracy.

Hangover of British India Company rule remains.

Vishu’s fresh utterances has come at a time when Nepali mission in South Korea have been making complaints to the South Korean government over some curricular texts in South Korea claiming Lord Buddha’s birth place as India.

Vishnu made the comment when asked how lack of roads, railways, clean water and electricity and rampant poverty still make India one of the preferred tourist destinations.

Vishnu quickly responds by stating that “the much-heralded poverty only adds to India’s diversity and that shouldn’t obstruct people from deciding to travel there”.

Poverty as nation’s diversity! Hilarious! 

The Indian dimension to ‘poverty’ perhaps is to sell Indian poverty to facilitate tourist arrival!

To recall, in a Film Munna Bhai MBBS, a Japanese tourist wants to snap the pictures of Indian poverty stricken people only.

The ambassador adds, “The northeastern part of the country where it borders China offers the most beautiful scenic views thanks to Mt. Everest.”

Height of erratic claims associated with inferiority complex.

“Once you go to India, you get addicted to its sights, sounds, smells, and colors,” the ambassador said.

That poverty also has sight, sound, smell and color could be new indicators for the World Bank and foreign funded NGOs to measure the level of poverty. Thanks Vishnu Prakash!

Amartya Sen must have laughed.

In the meantime, Naya Patrika Daily published from Kathmandu June 22, 2012, claims that Nepal’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has already made formal complaints to Ambassador Vishnu’s remarks.

“We cannot tolerate such an irresponsible remark,” report quotes an unnamed Foreign Ministry official as saying, “We have already asked through formal diplomatic channels to clarify India’s position.”

Nepal’s ambassador to South Korea, Kaman Singh Lama, has formally submitted a verbal note to ambassador Vishnu.

Instead, claims Nepal’s Foreign Ministry, India’s ambassador to South Korea virtually has threatened Nepal’s local ambassador not to flare-up the issue.

• Indian envoy from South Korea (VISHNU PARKASH) giving right singals to British. BJP and CONGRESS of India. Please tear all the fake ducuments which you have made yourself. 17,000 thousends innocent Nepalese people killed under 40 point the Maobadi's demands. And they used Indian soil.

• GURKHAS: You demanded and British gave. Thats good. But, don't forget in your life to respect the British society. Their kindness will turn in good value for NEPAL.

• All of you are getting worked up for no reason. If you read his sentence, I believe it should have been Himalayas and not Mt. Everest. Mt E. has always been in Nepal, no one in India can claim it. Stupidity and goof-ups are not the copyright of Nepalese babus only. Indian bureaucrats can equally be insensitive and nasty. Indians and Nepalese have long unbroken historical shared ties, my suggestion is to leverage it for your advantage and seek consessions from India rather than play the victim card. It doesn't help Nepal. Hari Om.

• Some of these narrow minded Indians like Bishnu bharati. The name like Bishnu is not suitable for the people like you, your real name should be idiot,foolish . You must know what i say,the brain over your head must be contaminated. Due to your selfish and greedy IDENTITY Western people hate you even we hate you and even many pure Indians hate you. Being convoy and getting education is not only your great success, but the way you define others should be heart touching not that you hurt others feelings. So mind it that you have no right to distress anyone.

• PM Baburam must open his mouth otherwise He has no right to take the PM responsibility in Nepal.Indian ambassdor to South Korea Bishnu Bharati has no moral right to say Mount Everest belong to India. That is why Nepal government should rais the 1816 Saguali Treaty. It was not treaty between India and Nepal. but it was treaty of East India conpany and Nepal. That is why Nepali land should back. That is why New Nepal political actors should wokeup and raise our problems without delay.

• Vishnu Prakash is either a moron or is an a-- hole. However, looking at Indian influence in our national politics and so called politician, these politician might sell our country to India some day. A private school in our country is teaching wrong national emblem to our kids and the government couldn't take any action. The school should have been closed! And these ass hole politicians think it's great to lick Indian ass. All these politicians should be terminated.

• Though i m from BHUTAN yet i would like to state that Mt.Everest is in NEPAL unless India Thinks that it is portable commodities, which can be plucked out from Nepal's Soil and take it to Indian soil,(if they can). unless the indian ambassador to South korea, haven't read geography properly in his school day. Funny n Silly Officer.
