Harkedai: I think its for one to see what they want to do their country. Either they can go ahead and contribute or come up with excuses that they are the lone rangers. As far I as know, last time I checked everyone was talking about corruption and lack of discipline in Nepal--Everyone wanted a nice living environment with equal opps and all but I am not sure if all of us were speaking from bottom of our heart. We blame our Netas and system but I think the real culprits are us who give opp for those kind of criminals and systems to grow. As long as our mentality doesnt change nothing is going to happen in Nepal. LovaBoy: NRNs definitely provide financial assistance to weakening Nepali economy.Morally, I dont know if everything can be put into money. Just imagine a teacher who is capable of educating so many kids in Nepal comes to US and works a modest job and has a decent living for him and his family. What good does it do to Nepal.. Frankly in the broader prespective, it is essential that Nepalis work in NEpal not somewhere else...Going to a different nation and making money is a short term fix not a long term solution. Also, my hypothesis about NRNS is that, the NRNs from non-US countries contribute more to Nepal than the ones in US....for eg.Just look at it..a guy comes to US and works here illegally for few years until he gets his greencard..THAT MONEY ISNT GOING ANYWHERE...ITS NOT GOING TO NEPAL..its going to be spent in education OR buying properties in right here in US. whereas in regions like Middleeast/Japan/Korea...all the money made my Nepalis are sent to Nepal...because in their cases the chances of spending their life in that land is below 1%.. I think both NRN?s and local nepalis are equally responsible for countries fate?in few years dual citizenship thing will be finalised. I think dual citizenship is a must ONLY with some clauses..like dual citizenship holders cannot hold any government jobs OR get into politics..cuz you know how easy it is to get into politics in Nepal..esp when you have money
