TAAT, Can I show you one project that is inferior? Of course, I can. Several locally developed projects are unequipped to cope with peak demand, they can't supply electricity to industry should that be the case, and more than that, the electricity supplied tend to be very dim. I wouldn't even go to other project, even the so called most effective Ghandruk ko hydro is also dim and unreliable, and can't cope with the demand surge if ,say, all people want to cook food with electricity. I mean, you should realise that for a country like ours with so much hydropower potential, it is a joke to say we should use turbine to produce small hydro. We should produce a lot, harness our river, and sell it to wherever we get. Even India will buy, since they can use it as an instrument to adjust their fluctuation in demand during peak hours, and India will buy it not because they love us or anything, it is just going to be a pure case of trade. Now, for your assertion that dollar lawyers and bikasbid like gyawali and shivakoti chinta etc are not rich, I don't know what to say. Just show me rich bureaucrat, then. I have met all these sad faced bureaucrats who have retired, and are surviving in meagre retirement, and are so vociferously against these bikasbirodhi, 'we-can-live-in-dim-light-but-we-don't-need-technology' type foreign agents. As for India's role, it is gham jastai chharlanga to everybody in Nepal: from bureaucrats, journalists to even these bikasbirodhi themselves.
