I am comparing Mexico with America not with India, and I am comparing Nepal with India. I totally agree that India has a long way to go but India is moving in a fast pace! They are having big ideas and that matters. Development is not achieved overnight. Corruption is rampant in India but also remember when a country becomes economically powerful, the problem of corruption and many other problems starts fading away. Comparing Nepal and India, whose economy is more powerful? The problem of load-shedding in Nepal was not the result of overnight problem but was the result of long term corruption involved within Nepal Electricity Authority. It is a shame that Nepal which is full of resources has to go through 17-18 hours of load shedding.

Any sustainable development needs long term planning, patience and mainly quality education to all its citizens. Whatever we see outside is the result of our thoughts. India possess nuclear weapon, they have space program, and many universities in India are ranked as world class institution. This is a good start for India which was ruled by British for hundred years. Many Indian graduates are returning back to India because there are jobs in India. But Nepal is not been able to create jobs.  If this trend countinues India will move to that level where it will become very hard for Nepal to catch up.

We Nepalese boast about our Khukuri. This is the era of Nuclear Weapon!

Also, the development of India will be very different comparing to USA because of the influence of Vedic heritage in India. During Bharat Barsha, India never envaded any country.

@riddle, I used the word burden because Mexico is creating  many problems within the US. If France was the neighboring country of USA, the situation would have been completely different.
