Nepal is, and always will be, a failure

Its easy to be hypothetical when things are going bad. Its human nature. Outside invaders coming and taking over indigenous societies is an evolutionary phenomenon. Look at history and you see that it is clearly evident. Europeans came over and invaded the "New World", stripped the indigenous Indians of their lands, manipulated them, extracted resources like humans and commodities (precious metals, ivory..etc.) from the Dravidians(Africa, Central America). Nobody today would even ponder about how America would have taken shape had Europeans not taken over..Why? Because it was a successful endeavor..Order comes out of chaos as history has proved time and time again. When things fall apart the blame game begins. But who are we to sit here and blame history? Have we suffered along with the indigenous inhabitants of the impoverished, barren and desolated regions of Nepal? Did we lose our sons or daughters or brothers to brutal deaths? Shamelessly killed by Maoist insurgence against "feudal aristocracy", as it was eloquently put by Prachanda. We sit here getting a western education with our oxford shirts, generating comparatively much higher incomes than we would have back home and condemn Nepal's reality? Who are we? We are an insensitive, greedy, time serving bunch of HYENAS who are so bored or excited with our new found western life, that we now have magically earned the right to judge and say who is worthy and unworthy? Stop criticizing this and that. Go get your rear ends to dang or rolpa and try to understand the qualms of the people there,go take a shit miles off the village in the middle of the forest with a bucket of water and see how it feels. Go make a contribution towards reversing their daily retrogressions. then speak...B.P. Koirala once said that his source of strength and motivation did not come from what he had learnt by traveling all over the world, but it came from the HUTS of NEPAL made of cow dung. WE HAVE NO RIGHT.
