Dal bhat in Nepal is not unique to Nepal, it is also a huge Indian staple food, dal and rice in India, eaten in many parts of the country in various forms. Called dal chaval in Hindi states in north India, varan bhat in Maharashtra, and a variant called sambar sadam or similar in south India.
Didn’t say it was unique to Nepal. But eating a thali in Nepal is a different experience to the one in various states of India as i’m sure you know.
your "is its own thing" implies "unique" to me. but if you want to hairsplit, go ahead. no issues. to each their own.
and about your "as i’m sure you know.":
how are you sure i know?
are you me? or can you read my thoughts? hee hee.
if so, mad props to you for being able to enter another person's mind. congrats, you may have acquired a siddhi.

I have eaten both cuisines extensively and Nepali cuisine is very different from Indian and much better imo. Just because Indians eat dal bhat means little.
"and much better". ha ha ha.
that is entirely subjective, and you yourself said "imo".
i am not denying that it may feel better - to you.
maybe read:

and get real about life.
and "means little" to who? to you, maybe. what a stupid statement.
india is many many times bigger than nepal in area.
and with a much higher population. world's highest, in fact.
google both those points.
no one except you, in the whole wide world, gives a flying fuck about how 'extensively" you have eaten those cuisines.
don't give yourself airs and pretend to speak for the rest of the whole world.
