I think 95% of Nepali live a decent life. May be way more than that. 

In my neighborhood, a man made tons of money by being engaged in manpower business. To me, the business is not a priori a bad business. I actually thought the guy made some contributions by creating opportunities for men abroad when there were none within the country. I was shocked to find how his own relatives talked pejoratively of him. Jealousy? may be.  Perhaps they studied about people being left to look after themselves in foreign land  by these manpowers and developed their own image of the manpower industry in general.

There are two forces in our society, acting against each other. One is , sure we encourage our kids to be street savvy and make shitload money. The other is, we talk ill of all corrupt men in our neighborhood all day long, so kids grow up actually despising men who become rich by leeching our own society and our own men. It is not clear which of these two forces are determinant of how the kids act as they grow up. In fact, there must a reason, why overall Nepalese are said to be honest even when they are working for foreigners in faraway land. In fact, honesty has been a Gurkha trademark.

Other comments, including our culture/religion being inferior, are cheap talks and aren't worth commenting.

Last 15 years have  been tough for our country. There had been killings and lawlessness. But resiliency of our culture means we will be back to where we were soon. When a country doesn't have 30% of its adult men, but has seen surge in incoming money, it was bound to perturb our long standing traditions. But the number of parents who regret sending their kids to the united states is increasing (speaking from my personal experience).
