i smell the stench coming from Nepali politician class than anything... all parties included. Whether India blocks or opens up, given Nepal's potential, we should have been in a position to stand on our own feet long time ago. Our politicians have been a sell out and have always had "Me" first attitude. This is not just our recent politicians attitude rather this stems back to the Shah kings rule and panchyat politicians included. The base where we stand on is rotten and why would the neighbors with likes of India and China not try to take advantage of it? It is a mess we all created, we are to be blamed for this.
