dear friends, Could not help myself keeping away from this thread. I have no grudge against india, one of the reason being i was there for almost four years and had seen indians from a very close quarter. Nepal true, I love nepal more than you do...but such animadversion regarding a neighboring nation evokes a sharp decry from users like me. Here are my list of why we should respect india. I believe there are many pros and cons pertaining to this matter...and since you have elaborated your cons..let me have an opportunity to scribble my pros. 1. When it comes to ratio...more nepalese people migrate to india than indians migrating Nepal. 2. If a shrewd marwari merchant takes us for a ride...it is our problem that we are so gullible. 3. Most of the medical practitioners and engineers that the nation boasts upon went to schools in India just for the reason that Nepal could not avail such infrastucture to them when needed. 4. As compared to the chinese smugglers who , if geographical factors were not as challenging...would have brought more troubles in Nepal as compared to Indians. Hongkong has all the renowned drug lords and kingpins who earn their money out of narcotics. 5. The insecurity of Indian people is out of competition, it was never their culture...if you think a delhite is a smartass...he is propelled to be one because good old darwin's theory - survival of the fittest. You guys talk about girl trafficking and bribery...ever thought that the person allowing nepalese nationailty to an indian dacoit is our proud nepali kin? Ever seen a madhise kidnapping a girl from himalayas to the brothel of Kolkata? These thoughts are mere derogatory...I could not fathom its actual purpose. For you all who despise Indians, I would like you guys to look at the number of indian doctors, scientists, lawyers and engineers from Orono Maine to Sandiego calfornia...you would be surprised to see that almost quarter the population of high profile jobs are offered to Indians, who, if decide to go back to india might cause a major setback in every operating fields in united states. It is so very unfortunate that only indian people of lesser conscience, moral and values come to Nepal because that's the way it is...Nepal has not been a rich or a prosperous country till date...and all it calls for is unwanted guests. Rather than starting such an acidulated thread about india, why don't we talk about how to build our own country Nepal. Prem dai, public display of such foul words from a regular sajhaite like you made my heart bleed... All critics are welcome....but please do not let racism and discrimination cloud your visions
