Before wishing Nepal to be a superpower, we need to decide on which one:- 1) Military superpower or 2) Economic superpower In the present context, economy has gained more importance than military might. During the World Wars and the Cold War, countries with strong militarization used to dominate the world, but slowly, credit has moved to economic might. Japan, Germany, China, which are the second, third and sixth largest economies of the world respectively, are influencing the world economically rather than militarily. South Korea, Malasiya, Singapore have risen to be economic tigers from a mediocre state. The gulf Nations, for example, Kuwait, which had mud walls in its capital city in the 60s, has now by virtue of oil resources, grown to be an affluent nation, now having two big towers which hold drinking water enough for supplying the whole Kuwait city. So, by learning from these, Nepal should choose the economic way rather than the military way. We should focus on uplifting our economy by whatever way possible, be it foreign investment, employment, tourism, etc. International business should be encouraged and new technologies should be introduced.
