The only Nepalese to feature in Time100 of this century and the most reknowned Sherpa in the world, Tenzing Norgey, acc to a new book, wasn't born in Nepal, and was a Tibetan who migrated to Nepal after an economic hardship.See the following website: http://www.timesofindia.com/today/26wrap7.htm It seems like he spent a really checkered life. He had accepted the support from Indian government after his successful ascent of Mt Everest,and ,as long as I think, died as Indian citizen! Citizenship aside, he is/was a great Tenzing and made all of us proud!
