I agree with you guys that this may bring the slave mentality. BUT look from the other side, I mean the US side, they have identified Gagan Thapa as a potential leader of future Nepal and trying to get hold of him. Does this mean Gagan will become a slave of US. Absolutely NOT. Do you think the King G has not given him incentives if he shuts up and did he aggred to the deals? Absolutely NOT. Does Gagan has to agree to what they teach as if he has no logics? Absolutely NOT. This is not the first time Gagan has gone to attend such Program. He has travelled to Europe with other programs too. My point is, he has to see the systems, learn from all this kind of experiencing without adversely affecting the integrity and interests of Nepal. The relation he builds can benefit Nepal in different ways. Not necessarily become a slave of US. Plus in politics, to influence some one is not unnatural too. Fidel Castro was educated in the US, did he become a slave of the US?
