Himalaya
My tone of asking that question was not that appropriate, hagi ?

I almost sent you an email asking who you are. But now I can at least guess your ID.
Poor Shakya Sir for having us.

That has been a long time hai.

I also do have a student status in the same university.
Technically, I, myself, can be a teacher and a student in the same class and vice versa.

These people have wierd rules, at times. And have made all the professions that need licensing difficult.

SajhakoHero: Braindrain is a complex beast. You seem to imply that talent is wasted when a professor works at a Subway restaurant. What about the waste that happens when professors sit idle for months while their universities in Nepal are closed down by bandhas? And how will Nepal build world class universities without the contribution from people with a decade or two of experience at world class universities?

Very impressive list altogether.

Great to learn that so many Nepali academics are at various colleges/universities in the US.

I am not so sure about this.

I respect world-class universities (Harvard, Stanford et al), but Arnico I am sure you know that -- given the uniquely free-market nature of the American higher education (that is, they fiercely compete for top students, promising professors and research grants all the time) -- those universities and their peer institutions alone do NOT have an across-the-board monopoly on global excellence.

Given the needs, Nepal needs Harvard-trained environmental scientists as much as it needs, well,University of Montana-trained development-studies scholars.And who are we to say who's world-class and who's not?

More tellingly, in Nepal, in my limited view, I see that there's a shortage -- NOT of people with world-class credentials but of researchers who are hardworking, motivated and smart and who find creative, practical ways to deal with Nepal-related uncertainties
and unknowns to continue their research and publish stuff.

A few in Nepal are globally demanded - and I see them flying off to conferences abroad practically every month. Others continue to talk about their world-class credentials . . . long past such credentials are of any value to anyone else but their own obnoxious sons and daughters!

So the question is NOT:
How do you gather a bunch of Nepalis with world-class credentials in Nepal for research.

Rather the question is:
How do you find ways to keep smart Nepalis, regardless of where they are educated, MOTIVATED to produce research and teach their students in Nepal while minimizing the uncertainties and unknowns that working in Nepal necessarily entail for them?

I don't know the answer.

And I say all this NOT as an academic (that is, NOT in the sense of someone who proves theorems of living) but as someone who loves to quietly watch the Nepali (and American) academia.

Please feel free to disagree.

not meaning to demean their achievements, but it would be interesting to know how many of them are professors (into academia) "by choice" :P :D....

I am just wondering Who gonna study Nepali in USA. Even they get degree, it is useless... for what?

If somebody want to study Nepali, they go to Nepal for better Nepali education.
