India might not look like much to us right now. When Nepalis think of India we think of UP and Bihari Bhaiyaas. But imperceptively India is slowly but surely changing.  They have been growing at a steady 7-8% every year.

By 2025 about 700 million of the country will make the leap into middle class-- TV, Fridge, Maruti Car etc. That is a huge consumer base. Indian is eliminating poverty by 2% points every year at current growth rates. This means there will be no poor people in India by 2035. Goldman Sachs predicts that India will be the biggest economy in 2050 (@ 85 Trillion!!!) ahead of China (@80 Trillion) and US @45 Trillion. 

Where will we be in 2050? Our population will be 55 Million from its current 26 million, and still growing!! Our Percapita Income wil be at $3,000 per year compared to India's $50,000,  with US at $95,000, China at $65,000 

हामी नेपाली मात्रै इन्डियनलाई "धोति" भनेर हेप्छौँ. तर येही धोतिहरु एक generation भित्र developed नेशन को category मा फड्को मार्दैछन्.

I think the open border will be closed soon. We will be to Indians what Mexicans are to Americans--- a burden. Indians will resent millions of hungry and poor Nepalis spreaming into UP and Bihar of India and taking their menial jobs! Doesn't seem like a possibility right now does it? But in 40 years this thing is happening folks!!
