I personally do not have hatred for marwari community. But as a honest citizen, and having been in Nepal's business for almost 5 years. I can assure and tell you for fact that marwari community had/have grossly looted nepal's economy. I personally know of a marwari who came in mid 1980's with just cycle and left nepali in mid 1990's with almost 200 Crore IC and built a major cotton factory in Panipat in India. This gentlemen still owns one of the biggest shipping company of Nepal Atlas De-Cargo. Infact this company was a peanut when I first came across, look where they are now. http://www.atlasdecargo.com/officenetwork.htm adn these offices and business are for real, just so you are ware and it was started in a small shackle in ktm. Great. We should welcome anyone in Nepal who wants to do business, make money and invest and all. But here is my problem with marwari's, they come to nepal, and they come with intention of looting local economy instead of helping, take huge debt against junk land that nobody knows weather it exist and run away loans and all the money they have made so far. second, in any of these companies, they barely employ any of local nepalese in their core office (no knowledge transfer and operational experiences provided). Marwari way of doing business is great, you can't compare. with their little red notebook, the way they do accounting; I don't think SAP or PeopleSoft ERP can beat'em. list could go-on. For example; Chaudhari group, they have acquired strings of hotel and in Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Mauritius, and so does rest of them. And worst, why can't nepali govt can't do nothing to these THIEF?.. well you will be surprised, most of them are covered by have diplomatic immunity. Puzzled? Here is starter, for example; Khetan group's Mohan Gopal Khetan is Honorary Consul General of Turkey and entire family member carries diplomat passport. Nepal can't touch'em, nobody in Nepal can do a thing. likewise many of these Marwari who are still in Nepal ripping-off are have some kind of represent no-name dumb countries as Honorary Consul General. Hence keeps looting. Well these are my gruges out of experiences I had wiht'em and rest what your view are totally upto you.
