You gave the Tibetan name of Mt. Everest but didn't think it thoughtful for giving it's Nepali name when whole world knows Nepal as the nation of Mt. Everest. It's Sagarmatha btw, in Nepali.

Himalaya itself is a Sanskrit word. And India is the oldest civilization. So even if it belongs to other countries now. Those countries were part of India only.
