respect to aljazeera covering every aspect of the life and world not just the sensational news

[sonnysj76]

To all the Nepalese who might watch this video in the near future.

I am a fellow Nepali myself, a US Citizen and have been in US for 12 years.

Upon watching this Video... I feel very sad and angry. Angry because the brave Gurkha's are being looted everyday.

Let's get together guys. Let's raise some money and help our mothers and those in need. Please let me know who/where and how I can contribute (money) or let's work together and raise some.

If you are out there, Please contact me!

i think debating over youtube links is not the right way to counter with this issues in nepal,but let us see the peaceful and other alternatives ways to how to solve the these issues together ,for that educated nepalese youths should come foreward to rise awareness in the community and secondly the corrective action.Hope this will end soon in nepal.

You are a citizen of US, so don't say our country Nepal, coz u chucked your citizenship to be a citizen of a developed country. It shows how selfish you are. If you really want to do something for Nepal, return back.

Don't go to fight for others country, don't give them security, What did we Nepalese get doing all these shits? We fight for UK and called immigrants, overpopulating UK, we give security in India and we called poor beggars, bullied as Bahadur.

Let them see what their country would be like without Gurkhas..

That deveki's husband is an asshole...ppl like him should be thrown away from the society....and i believe those conservative hindu beliefs r man made beliefs....we have so fucked up religions all over the world and somehow linked these kind of fucking insane beliefs with religions....no religion hurts and brings sufferings to anyone.....

[ganeshdhading]

really appreciate AlJazeera covering this heartwrenching story.

we should do what we can to help Nepali women to live a happy life, enjoy human rights and not succumb/subject them to our old Hindu philosophy written and taught by men to their advantage and pleasure. Let's change with the world. Let's help them by sending fund directly to them or through a charity designed to help such women who are suffering for no fault of their own.

[tenthar]

nepal has no human rights....thats it...end of story.

SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST...

[MrMikedelta]

God lives in the Himalayas don't worry, one day every body in Nepal will be happy .

[princesandesh]

I wish uk could help our country Nepal.
