I have no data to support my ratio of 9:1, heard it from someone that's all. I believe the gap is that way just because parents are more willing to send sons here more than daughter. Everywhere I look, if there is a choice between kids, parents are more willing to send sons abroad, spend the lakh or so money in their college educations. "Choris" or daughters are sent usually either after they are married, have a male relative or a brother in the US or have no sons in the family. Not a whole lot of family send their daughters. Look around you! At any Nepali parties/ gatherings there are more Nepali boys than Nepali girls.

Second argument, IF they go back to Nepal girls have even higher number of boys to choose from, the keyword is "IF" why would they want to go back when they can find a Ram, Shyam or Hari right here. If you bring a spouse from Nepal irrespective of the gender, they still have to go through the whole "education, job hunt and driving process" while the one here is likely to have all 3 or in the process of getting all 3. Also, who is more likely to get a job? One who has a degree from Nepal or a degree from here? You tell me.

I am dead bored and have all the time on my hands as you can see from me being on sajha all day, that's my only defense.
