Hahahaha..OK here's a summary: Like Prachanda's communist party, Nepal is currently entering a critical stage of "development." Chronically short of energy, India also has a keen interest in developing Nepal's underexploited potential to generate and export hydro-power." In the Country Commercial Guide Nepal FY2000, the U.S. and Foreign Commercial Service and the U.S. Department of State reported that: "There are two main investment opportunities in Nepal: hydropower and tourism. The "investment opportunities" of Nepal's hydropower resources are vast indeed, potentially offering windfall corporate profits. The convergence of interest in Nepal's rebel leader at this moment in time is not accidental. It is not hard to see how such a "safeguard" might serve to impede corporate interests, particularly in the case of large-scale hydropower projects. In conlcusion, we will either manage to gain much from this republican drama or lose it all to the OTHER BIG PLAYERS - India/ European Nations, if we overlook them in this race for POWER in Nepal. Therefore, we need to keep our heads straight and have a BALANCE of power among people and parties - to make the most out of the resources of NEPAL : MY DREAM of course is to make Nepal the richest country in the world.
