That said, actually, MGK and others were/are well-known businessmen in Nepal. Others who are doing intertesting work but get little recognition deserve to be highlighted too. There's this organization called ASHOKA, with its own Nepal chapter, that does a lot of interesting selection of what it calls "Social Entrepreneurs". One year, I was honored to serve as a member of its Nepal selection panel. Check this out to learn about interesting business-like innovations going on in Nepal. - http://www.ashoka.org/search/fellows?country=NP& **************** That said, given these knee-jerk anti-Marwari sentiments of some on Sajha, here's a humorous description of a course that one can take at a fictitious business school. "ANTHROPOLOGY 201 The Mystery Called Marwari Why are Nepali businessmen so jealous of the Marwaris? What makes the Marwaris allegedly so successful? Explore these concerns in depth by studying the history, family networks, religious rituals, immigration patterns, language, sex life and the business practices of the Marwaris, Nepal's most prosperous minority. Do not just sit back and criticize them; you too can learn all their clever tactics to beat them at their own game. By the end of Anthro 201, you will be able to sell Banarasi saris even to the Marwaris." From - http://www.sajha.com/guild/read.cfm?guildid=22 oohi ashu
