I don't know if this is the right way of investigating Nepal's Problems. Mr. Thugged out, you throw a lot of statistics to to prove your idea of successful countries vs. Unsuccessful countries, but you have not earned the right to bash nepal and nepalis through mere statistics that you get off the internet or whatever your source is. Perhaps,(if your concern is genuine) you should get yourself off your "thinking" couch and focus on action. We all nepalis with the an IQ average of 78 as you stated (whatever true value that number is worth), know about the underlying problems of infrastructure, socio-political structure and mentality. The focus should be on changes, positive changes, incremental as they may be. Nepalese people with genuine concern and understanding of the reality of Nepal, should put in what they can in a sector specefic way and try to add value to the country. Before one begins such a mountain of a task one has to make their own foundation strong. Changes in Nepal will happen slowly, but surely. It may not be an Industrial powerhouse because of its internal lackings, but with changing political and social perspectives, visionary and diverse ideas that hopefully come from nepalese living all over the globe, Nepal can and will be progressive. Your statistics and hypothesis are like straws in the wind, you have no credibility if you want to be part of the problem as opposed to part of the solution. Do something better with your time than digging up Nepal's wounds and scars, TAKE ACTION on whatever level it may be. Developed powerhouses and emerging markets are being fueled by people who have stopped their pessimism and are focusing on contributing towards a solution.
