ok. mr. blah, this is getting funnier-


Snowfed River, please stop using your rhetorics and changing the topics because you can't admit that the average stipend in Biological Science is higher than you expected and there are Nepalis that are doing quite well in the field of Biological Sciences. 


- well, i know there are colleges that pay more and the tuition is free too. alas, that's not the case in every state and unluckily, i happened to be in one of them. u came along and rediculed at how much i made? 


Biological Science encompasses the field of Molecular Science so you can not now counter-argue and say that achievements in Molecular Sciences are not worthy!


- never said they were/are unworthy. now, u are making me look bad in front of this community.


Uttam Lal Rajbhandary exposed Nepal to people in his field by doing amazing work. I don't know if you realize this but a lot of people throughout the world have problems even locating Nepal on the map. Atleast the guy made Nepal famous by his contributions in the field. And do you know the number of prominent scientists he has trained?


- stiil don't know what he did but will google shortly. u know, with GIS/RS, its easier to find.


Nepalis have indeed done well. You can't deny that. For a country with 20 million people, we have Professors at Harvard and MIT. You might be a pessimist but I feel that  no matter how small, that is something to be proud of. And there are huge numbers of Nepalis in a Good School. I have met 5 kids who did their undergrad at Harvard in the last 5 years. Nepal is well represented in the best liberal arts colleges in the US.


- same old thing.


1) Does great command of English reflect great education? - Look at China or Japan.


- they work hard and have strong vocabs.


Was Nepal ever occupied by the UK? - India speaks great English because it had to in the past. When British took over India, they left behind a lot including their language. You see that most of the colonial nations are great at speaking the language of the country that occupied them. Look at Lebanon and the French speaking population there for example.


 - got a point here.


 don't know why you are mentioning that we need every able nepali to contribute something. I don't think I disagree with you. You sound like a Model in a Miss World Competition whose answer to everything is "I want to end world poverty and hunger" but in your case it is more like "cure entire village for free or contribute to Nepal". You see such vague statements never did anyone any good. I completely agree that we should work towards the development of our poor nation but that has nothing to do with the stipend of students in Biological Science.


- aren't u the one who said stipend reflects education. what is good of a education that is useful for others. instead of saving the world for now, i think it would be better to start with the village.


 


Why would I care about DV winners? Please stop beating around the bush here. - you should. they are nepali too. try to look at the bigger picture.


6) Where have I blamed the government in my argument ? - you should because today there would be lakhs like u instead of YOU and few others.


And I don't want your salute because your salute is as worthless to me. - you won't get it.


 do hope that one day my finding will help a brilliant scientist to find a cure for a disease so that he can get rid of a disease for the whole world not just Nepal! But that is not the point of our discussion here - Good luck. enjoy the stipend the shell u are in.
