BistaKaji, go vent your frustrations of not being able to get a US visa/DV elsewhere, dimwit. "Try to be Nepali and Pround to be Nepali"?? Wtf. We all here love Nepal (I don't know about others, but I do) and want to do something for the ailing nation but c'mon we've got to be rational after a certain degree. We're here not by choice but by a scarcity in opportunities to develop our educational abilities back home and also economic opportunities. There s no doubt that the US educational system is FAR superior to ours (thanks to the hi-tech gadgets, world-renowned professors, latest proven methods, highest quality research, etc.). If we had a world class university providing the graduates with a decent well-paying job back home, there would be no need for any sort of a Nepali Diaspora. The greatest literary figures in Nepal's history were all educated abroad (India) as there was lil chance that they would ever be educated back home…Back in the days, there definitely may've been peeps jealous over these opportunity seeking scholars not remaining in Nepal but in the end, its their work that helped define Nepali literature.
