In a Race for Humanity the onset of 21st century will be the ultimate era for unification and peace.

Prashant came soaring high above the view of an oridinary man. So melancholy was his voice he became a versatile singer. He came as a messiah of peace and unification chanting the flock -lore hymns -Gorkhali ko choro mo, etc
So dynamic was his approach he could take the audience with the stride, he swept the on-lookers and his fans by the might and charming charisma.
As a Messiah of peace, happiness and for a due cause of unification the Messiah Prashant brought about unseeingly backlash among the Gorkha society by his virtual support for Sourabhi. Where in both were blessed by the Gigantic Stalwart in the North-Eastern society as Bhupen Hazarika and the Maharaja of Barakland, Tripura blessed all the way for victory for the fourth Indian Idol, Sourabhi was immovable as Bed Rock.

Now the time has come once again for unity and strength. Prashant has left the unification of Gorkhas shattered by preaching in favor of Sourabhi.
Be it reality or be it biased or hypothesis:

Bhaichung Bhutia, is a Sikkimeses by virtue. A moment came in his life by roar and storm. He cannot buy the moment back but he attained fame that he cannot buy either. During the Olympic Torch rally Bhaichung denied the Olympic Authority not to participate in the Olympic Torch Race. He had a soft corner for the Tibetans and the Chinese Repression.
Prashant the insane Gorkha singer had vehemently proved this wrong and has broken the ethnic sentiments of the Gorkhas scattered in and around the Indian Sub-continent. He is not only butchered the unification but betrayed the cause of Gorkhas as a whole.

Mercy be on Kapil, born as Gorkha and serving the Army fighting the external and internal terrorism and the while enchanting his fellow army men with soothing patriotic songs and now he’s is a hunt to thrill the World of Gorkhas alone. Though originally from Dehradun his mind and soul are still vibrating in the scanty Hills of Darjeeling and Sikkim. Kapil Thapa born in a Hill Station, nurtured and fostered among the Army personnel and a strict cultured disciplinary and has a scene of atheistic value too.

Whether or not Prashant was forcibly brought under duress, this is still a disgrace to a man the whole Gorkha World has gambled for his Paradise alone and now he’s paid the price for. He betrayed, he butchered he’s a conspirator he’s treachered the sentiment of Gorkhas.

Had this Prashant denied to campaigning for Sourabhi forcibly under duress, he would have a second welcome back home with highest degree of Honor that no one had ever attained in a life time.

Another point this denial would have made Prashant a Demi God amongst the world of Gorkhas. But Prashant proved that we Gorkhas can easily be TAMED, we can’t decide our fate. To be humble is a good sign but being TAMED by someone is a blatant blunder that can’t be forgiven. Now my question is when Siliguri was burning in a communal violence due to the unhold remark by Red FM Brady - Prashant should realize or else the Gorkhas should make an apology to Red FM Brady understanding the concept.

PRAKASH CHETTRI
Namchi: Inter constituency volleyball tournament under rural sports festival 2009 was kicked off Tuesday at Jorethang play ground. This tournament is a part of Maghey Sankrati Festival which is organized every year in Jorethang, South Sikkim, by the department of Sports & Youths Affairs (SYA). Those present in the opening ceremony included Area MLA and RM&DD minister K.N.Rai, SYA minister P.S.Tamang and 3rd Indian Idol Prashant Tamang.
The opening match was played between Jorethang constituency and Hee-Bermiok constituency which the home team easily won by straight set 25-15 and 25-07. Earlier, in the Open Girls Football Tornament, which was kicked off on 5th January, Jorethang won over Lachen Mangsila. Tuesday’s match was to be held between Sang Martam and Yuksam. But the latter did not turn up in time and Sang Martam was given walkover. The day’s celebrity guest Prashant in his address said a few words of encouragement to the players and wished all present a Happy New Year.

Kathmandu: A year after Prashant Tamang took India's entertainment industry by storm with his win in the popular television reality show "Indian Idol", the 24-year-old police constable is now poised to become a matinee idol in Nepal.

The young man of Nepali origin, who owed much of his triumph to his wild fan following in this country, will now play himself in a biopic being made on his life, struggle and eventual victory.

The yet to be titled full-length feature film is the first venture of debutant director Dinesh Raj Sharma.

The script is by the "Indian Idol" himself and focuses on the artistic, mental and physical struggles he had to undergo to win a show that is watched by millions in India, Nepal, Bangladesh and the Middle East.

Besides Prashant, the other stars are Nepali film industry's most charismatic hero Rajesh Hamal, action hero Ramit Dhungana and sultry actress Jharana Thapa, who recently stirred a controversy with a media report about Bollywood baddie Shakti Kapoor "misbehaving" with her during shooting for another film in southern Nepal.

Most of the film will be shot in Sikkim and Darjeeling. Prashant was born in Tungsung village in Darjeeling district of India's West Bengal state.

He studied at St Robert's School in Darjeeling and after the death of his father Madan Tamang, who worked in West Bengal Police, joined the force where his singing talent came to the fore in the police orchestra.

Part of the film will also be shot in Nepal, where Prashant received a hero's welcome after winning the contest. Nepal's then prime minister Girija Prasad Koirala invited him to tea twice and his first concert in Kathmandu valley was sold out despite bad weather.

The shooting will start early February after Prashant, who won a Rs.10 million contract with Sony, is free to take up other commitments.

Prashant has already released an album in Nepali and has featured in a book on people who brought fame to Nepal.

He will sing his songs in the film as well besides another popular singer of Nepali origin, Bollywood celebrity Udit Narayan Jha, who was one of the "Indian Idol" judges.
