Hey Guys,

I was trying to apply for a position at IBM. I was putting in my information and there came a page where they require a candidate to put the country of their academic degree. I scrolled down to select Nepal for my master's (or US equivalent bachelor) degree. However, there was no Nepal in the list. India, Pakistan and so many country were on the list. Why they excluded Nepal? Even worse, there is no place to write down the name of a different country than that are listed. I felt real bad.

Do they think Nepal is not a country or there is no university at all? or are they trying to exclude all Nepalis from applying to their openings? Looks like IBM is not an EOE. In either case, is it not a discrimination based on the national origin? Let's fight back against this discrimination.

Let's sue IBM and get a lot of punitive damages.

I was so stunned.

Sorry for the typo on the topic - it should have been "Legal Expert Needed" not the one listed there.

Where were u all this time? Nepal has been a part of India for many years now. Select India from the list. I bet you can speak Hindi 100% sure, so what's the big deal.
I think it is you who needs to open eyes and see the reality, not IBM.

Purush i am with you.
Good Luck.

yes IBM is ahead of it's time. nepal is part of india...if nepalis didn't know that, IBM should be able to help. or you can sleep like you have been and in 10 years time, it will be official per the United Nations.

so yes please select India

mera bharat mahan!

where did dhoti bhaiya come from into Nepali website.
class clown are you one of those selling vegetables and fruits in Nepal bhaiya.

anyway Nepali dood(purush) go ahead and lodge a complaint against IMB.
i am with you.

some indian must have made that application. how should we differenciate ourself from Indians in the international community guys? food we eat, music we listen or movies we watch are closely related to Indians. i bought an iphone just to listen Nepali fm and most of those fms play indian music too. indians could be smart but most people make fun of them. they think all south asians are indians. there is just so much sterotyping about indians. the other day i was wtching spelling bee competion and 1st and3rd kid were indians, and 2nd was chinese. When the program finished a bunch o kids came to the stage and they were poor white kids, lol... indians nice, funny, smart , stingy and i guess, part of us we never liked

 

 

IBM is IBM because it thinks ahead of time.

did you report it. Give me the link, I am in IBM so I will see if I can do something.

Divdude,

You will see if you try to apply for a position. It's on the page where they require us to put our academic information. You can not find Nepal in the drop down list or an option to write another country.

I strongly believe that we can bring a lawsuit on this so they learn a lesson.

 

I don't believe this is a law suite issue. If you have repeatedly tried to get IBM to make the changes and they have not made any effort to make ammendments in a reasonable time frame, you may have some basis but the way you presented it, a law suite would be a joke. You cannot sue someone for inadvertent mistakes without giving them a chance to make ammends...

If it looks like a duck and if it sounds like a duck, then it is a duck for sure. As much as we hate them, we go back to them to be raped again and again ,from ordinary citizens to bastard politicians. We use everything Indian, watch their movies, music, most Nepali can speak Hindi, our letters (script) are same, most Nepali have same names like the Indians. We have politicins who are dressed in Indian clothes and speak Hindi and swear in Hindi during major appointment. What identity are you talking about?

We have sold our soul and our identity to the Indians a while ago. A small change in our lifestyle can impact the society and the country in the long run. Ask someone here to stop promoting Indian entertainment mostly Bollywood trash, then they will tell you that it DOES NOT matter, who are you to tell me? All things and attitude like these added, who are you to demand Nepali identity? It is lost for good.

Bunch of cowards. losing battle before the war is even started.
what a disgrace to our forefathers who have protected our bumi since the time immemorial.
let's see who is going to make Nepal into Indian state or "Asali Hindustan"

Bob Marly,

I understand where you coming from. I also have the same frustration when I see our Nepali poeple have so much interests in Indian stuff like music, films and others. I desperately hate it even more when I see Nepali people in the US doing it. Nepalese in the US should try to assimilate in the US culture and love for our Nepali culture that is what I believe. What can we really do? At least we can influence the people surrounding us. I have been doing for a long time.

However, you are venting your anger at a wrong person. I think we are on the same boat. I do not listen or speak Hindi for your kind information. However, I understand Hindi but don't use it.

Anyway good luck to all Nepalis.

I don’t know about you guys, but at my place Hindi songs are
banned when I am around.  I especially
don’t like people playing Hindi music in the morning. When I hear any dhoti
music in my house in the morning, there is a big war. I’m always alone in the
war, 1 Vs 7, but I just fight. In front of those 7 people I look weird, but I
don’t give a f**k.

tamanglakola

 don't backoff.  F**k those dhoti songs. I hate people playing dhoti songs in groups, parties, specially nepali night presentation.  

Thank you guys for your support!!! I'm not alone now!!

y

you stupids..what nepal is a part of india???there is not even single percentage of history or evidence that nepal is a part of india and how many times to say that..rather india was under british and nepal always independence,..

Indians were slave (i dont mean to say bad but the truth) and noone wants to break his nationality saying india ....

When I hear 'sue' I understand it as earning money american way. If there is some issue, just sue. All lawers are behind this and we people. There are people from Nepal who is said to be very much religious, does not eat meat and even garlic, tomato, and onion, would not hesitate to lie for $$$. I have seen on TV people who try to hurt themselve in grocery store and sue the store.

Everybody is behind the $$$. Very bad american mentality.
