Said so, one has all the rights to hypothesize. One can theorize what would have happened had PNS not expanded his kingdom. If she or he wants to speak against Nepal, the law to express will allow.
Troubling part is presentation of unreal pictures. Without knowing facts, they claim that we would have been in a better position in India.
Misinformation is hard. Do they know India?
India’s growth is concentrated in the south. Cotton and computer belts of India, together with industrial activities, have grown. The story is not the same in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, the northern states of India, however. One comment above has already made that clear. Even so, it is useful to present a few specifics relevant to misinformation.
With limited natural resources, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, where population density is over 800 per sq. km, have per capita income lower than Himanchal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Sikkim, the other northern states of India adjoining China
Importantly, all the last three states of India match with the southern states in terms of income by focusing on horticulture, tourism, and hydro.
Sikkim, the second top in the region after Maldives in terms of per capita, with geography and natural resources identical to the latter three states of India, is working on to utilize the resources further to achieve a superior living standard.
The question is why Nepal, given it has a greater share (area) of the natural resources provided by the Himalayan geography, is failing to utilize those resources by conducting itself in the manner Bhutan and India’s Sikkim, Uttarakhanda, and Himanchal Pradesh do, and be in a superior position in terms of income and living standard.
