Bhojpure,

I like what  you are trying to do. You are assessing the ground realities of what you feel is going on in Nepal. I like the fact that you are courageous enough to do this. This is something very difficult to do. You are right. The point is not to be negative and give up hope. But the point is also not to put a positive spin on everything happening in Nepal and paint an over idealistic rozy picture.

I feel that we should do what you are doing. You are getting a basic assessment of the situation in Nepal--the good, the bad, and the ugly. It is only after we do this that we can even consider improving the situation. If all of us Nepalese can't even agree about the basic condition of Nepal in relation to the world, where is there even a question of us working togethor to improve it?

So Bhojpure, I really appreciate what you are trying to do with the above post of trying to summarize Nepal's position the best you can. Maybe we should do a SWOT analysis on Nepal? Let's see how much we can all agree on what are Nepal's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats?
