I definitely agree with your interpretation. For some people, the fact that they are in USA gives the 'leverage' back home. They get the respect they never enjoyed. May be lots of people have this situation, but obviously this is also changing.

Meanwhile, what it means for foreign trained men to go back to Nepal? I was reading this news today.

Obviously, If I were in Kantipur, I wouldn't even print this news, let alone give it such prominence. It is clear to me that the journalists are giving this foreigner a lot of values even though he deserves none. It is not only this guy, it is sood, the chinese ambassador and others...they shouldn't be given so much media coverage. The inferiority complex among the journalists is shocking.No wonder an European ambassador said something along the line that "in Nepal, I was like a king".
