The Land of Young Hypocrites

I don't think there is any hypocracy in moving on to greener pasteurs. When a students goes abroad to study, the main thing in his mind is pursuing better opportunities at least pursuing better education to begin with. Which is the reason that they go abroad. Who leaves the country and pledges that they will come back no matter what. They would be hypocrites IF they had pledged that they would come back to Nepal before they left, and then did not go back. If someone goes abroad and finds a better life for himself, and also finds that in being abroad he can facilitate better lifestyle for his/her family in Nepal as well as for oneself, then I fail to see anything hypocritical about wanting a better life for oneself and the ones you love. Yes, patriotism is an issue here but what good can you do back home when you are struggling to make a living? With the red tapes and corruption, you'd be lucky if you find a job that is enough to raise a family without too much problem. The title would be better if it said The land of opportunity seekers.
