Hello all,
Just something that has been sitting in my neck like a "kanda".
Why is it that most news organizations, such as CNN, Reuters, even BBC use the terms such as Nepal rebel, Nepal minister etc.? I realize it's a trivial matter but I find it really bothersome. Shouldn't they be using the correct phrases such as Nepali/Nepalese rebels etc.?
How would it sound if we start saying the America president, or the France people or the China food?
How would you like your India kebab, sir? hmmm...sorry to waste your time.

Dude , where did you see Nepal Minister/ Nepal rebel? I haven't seen anywhere.
Once I see, I may be able to comment on that.
