NBC's Nepali Viewer Ends Up in Show

It was Govinda Basnet in December 2006 in Athens, Ga. After a month in jail, the doctoral student was released in January on bond. In less than 2 months, it is Deepak Bista, 22, in Florida. In normal circumstances, a Nepali making to NBC's Dateline is rather impressive. But this one is unlike any. Something, no doubt, has gone seriously wrong lately with some Nepalis in the USA. A huge image problem for Nepal and its people that are already stereotyped in so many ways.
