Basic geography

[edit]

Nepal, while certainly not part of India, is part of the Indian subcontinent. --Orange Mike | Talk 16:33, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes but it is no necessary to include that part. The Khukuri originated in Nepal, how difficult is it to make this change? RainiDD (talk) 19:42, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
We don't make changes in articles without substantial references. Raw assertions, apparently motivated by a spirit of patriotism, will be ignored. This should be discussed on the talk page of the article in question. --Orange Mike | Talk 19:51, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please refer to the page for Khukuri in the BritishMuseum website as well as the Gurkha Museum website. The term khukuri is predominately used for this type of knives in Nepal so the Wikipedia page should reflect this information without mentioning the Indian subcontinent. I don’t understand why it is difficult to change it so it says originating from Nepal. The Greek version “Kopis” has it’s own page dedicated to it without a mention of the Indo-Greek subcontinent.

when we type MOMO dish under the MOMO picture it says Indian dish. It is a Nepali dish. Why does it say Indian dish? why not simply dish like any other dish pages. Jassain (talk) 18:59, 18 May 2020 (UTC)jassain[reply]

Hi Jassain, I am aware of this too but unfortunately I haven’t found out how to change it. Wikipedia does not control that part and what Wikipedia does control, editors don’t want to change because they think it’s so patriotic act when it’s not. I’ve given up on Wikipedia since it’s not reliable information anyway and we can prove authenticity of Khukuri and Momo in a credible site elsewhere. RainiDD (talk) 09:55, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
