After following your discussion history, I've come to conclusion that all you do in Sajha.com is inject stereotype. With that said, you do raise a genuine questions.

"how most nepalis are quick to follow but decision makers are nowhere to be seen."

Religion has nothing to do with it. Do you have any data or evidence to back your statement? Are you making random statement based on few hundred people that you have come across?

"The hundreds of years of shah/ rana rule?"

In your eyes Nepal is a third world country and yes it is true. We are severely under developed. People lack education and for the most part struggle to maintain the basic necessity of live. Your comments are equivalent to an European who just stepped foot in United States during the slavery era who is losing her sleep over, why black become slave? Why can't they rise above slavery? Why don't they stand up for their rights? From an outsiders perspective it does not make any sense but only the black people knew how hard it was.

Likewise the political system is corrupt from the ground up in Nepal. Hence, people who want to assume leadership and are honest are finding hard to rise up.

"The greatest so called leader right now is prachanda"

How can you declare that Prachanda is the greatest leader right now? On what basis? What do you think that he has done so great to be titled as the "Greatest leader right now?"

"cleaned his hands clean of the blood of 15000 people"

Are you calling his "greatest leader right now" because he was able to get his hand clean and get away with what he has done so far?


In conclusion, Majority of people are uneducated. The country is getting brain drained as all the youth leave the country for better opportunities. The one's that stay cannot rise into leadership because of the corrupt politics that goes on in Nepal. Ever wondered how Girija Prashad Koirala is still in politics and has big cards in his pocket?

I assume you grew up in the western democratic society and you only have spend limited time in Nepal. This is why I think your assumption are false, which I don't hold you responsible for. You have your opinions and I have mine.
