Nepal being a superpower? Never. Gloom to boom? Yes but 10 years are not enough. I would recommend at least doubling up the time frame. First, Nepalese should abandon the slave mentality. Very well educated to illiterate people, well off to desperately poor- all Nepalese have the slave mentality ( including myself).We think that we are simply not good enough, not capable and that doom is Nepal's only destiny. The illusion that a single person- myself- can't make a difference so why should I bother to behave properly while others are making a mess? is a very pessimistic thinking. Waiting others to take the lead role, waiting others to start the good work. Wishing KG or Girija to develop the country. Wishing China or US or India to help us unselfishly. This is the biggest problem. If you know something better, why don't you do it yourself? Why don't you abide by the general rules and regulations that you follow in the US when you step into the Nepalese soil? Let's get rid of our slave mentality first. Second, we should be less selfcentred. Piling wealth for my own family has been the motto of my life(Nepali's life). If a few hundred people contribute some part of their earning for an infrastructure, say a community health centre with 2 GPs, I don't need to send my family members to a nursing home for a quick check up. And it saves thousands of rupees from my saving. Let's invest considerably for our community. If only the Nepalese living in the developed world behave no differently to what they do in the west when they go back to Nepal, we can make a real difference. We can teach lots of things to those who haven't seen what we have seen. I mean first behave like a good citizen individually and if every citizens do so, we don't have to complain others for the mess in the country. I will abide by the laws, I will not bribe officials to get my work done, I won't use forged documents, I will obey the trafic rules, I will not spit and throw fags and morsels at public, I will just try to follow the etiquette I have learnt, while being in Nepal. Make this your behaviour and things will start to improve. In politics, if educated people don't support any leader(s) for personal gains, things can improve drastically. We make our political judgement based on personal gains rather than by assesing the rights and wrongs and that makes our politics a shit. Almost all of us support the groups which our dads support. If we can't think differently to our dads, how can we be better than our dads? How can Nepal be better in our hands than before? So this way it goes. Reform yourself. Behave like a responsible citizen and commit yourself for the good of your country. Support unblemished and result oriented leaders. support the community. Levy taxes based on income, the higher your income is , be ready to pay more tax. Discourage corruption. Say No to wrong things and don't step back when oppurtunity comes your way to support your community. If this idea clicks, rest assured Nepal will transorm itself from gloom to boom. We are in between the world's top growing economies, If we can facilitate a smooth linkage between India and China, our development doesn't need any industrial revolution.
