I think people in Nepal may have drawn their own conclusion that Sikkim and Darjeeling looks down on them. The truth is, we simply don’t think about Nepal very often in our everyday lives. But whenever something unfortunate happens like the recent floods in Nepal or the student killings during the Gen Z protest, we feel the pain deeply and stand with you almost as we would with our own kin.

My only view is that i am tired of seeing you guys claiming Sikkim , Darjeeling, Uttarakhand and Himachal as part of your own country. Rest no bitter feelings.

u/PotatoEquivalent6173 3d ago

those are extremist honestly, but generally many people view here view people from sikkim and darjeeling, and kumoan garhwal as brothers (probably because you guys look like us and speak like us and literally we hilly/himalayan groups have a shared identity)

Not true. You should come watch Nepal vs any team football match. The stadium is always full of Nepal team fans. People here also love Nepali music and Nepali artist. Aside from that ofcourse all places have their own stereotypes that are made fun of. It’s not that serious.

Sikkim people looking down on us? Who cares. Whole India is racist towards each other and whole world is racist.
