@Javabeans: Thanks for enlightening us with your plausible thoughts. I think your Korean case (development happened after the Korean War) is an example of how, unfortunately, a disastrous event motivates a country (think Japan also) to rapid the development. That also means, always, closing the ear for outside (not the market) and focus inside. In Nepal, however, until the Nepalese buddies of freedom era Indian leaders do not die out, they always gonna listen to ‘bhai log’. So I don’t see that happening anytime soon.
 

@vivant: Agree with everything you said 100%.

My two cents: Yet, things are not that cut and dry. Meaning, even if we supply all of what you are saying, I am not very hopeful that a lot will change. Because one could ask ‘since these are so obvious, why is it not happening already?’. It’s not because we don’t have money. I think it’s our culture. What we have so far: No long-term vision (aile lai kaam chalchha soch), quality (think even in individual level our first question is ‘kati rupiya parchha?’ No quality, just cheap shit to fulfill right-here-right-now need), Not so industrious mentality: ‘bauko samapati chhandai chha, khana pugi halchha’. The cultural psychology of the society makes us pretty laid back, relaxed, non-innovative. We don’t (didn’t) stay up all night to come up with a solution that changes our society (feel sad to say this). F---g kuires had to go from here with toilets to teach us where to poop. Cutting corner, and showing-off cultures are really hindrances to innovative thinking. We need a major confident to be able to say ‘f…. it’ to the obsolete traditions.
 

@bathroomcoffee: Ratnapark bata lyayeko hoina, maile US ko civil right movement ko kura gareko. There were people who thought ML King was trouble maker. So when it comes to doing the right thing, someone has to be the asshole. Not everyone is going to like every right move.

 

@Sap dude: I think you need to go little deeper than that ‘poverty’ as a public motivator towards the communists. The real issue is communist have always put the dreams in poors’ mindset: “Why cannot I be equal?” The elitists (NC or Republicans here) always try to suppress that. Obviously, poors have to equally do the hard work, cannot/shouldn’t always get free lunch…I understand all that. They’ll get there eventually, but first thing is they having a notion that it’s possible to come out of their ‘dalitness’, ‘womenness’, or ‘poverty’.  Do communist always carry people through that questioning level to materialization level?…noooooooo….  In a long run, is it really important?
