Bornfree, I don't think the topic was about what a particular race has done for Nepal and Nepali. It was only about and mind you only about "why Brahmins hold these powerful positions while others get nothing in the country" and the answer that got right through your head and made you go sulking was my simple response to that... And why wouldn't I talk too much, when all people are doing is blaming Brahmins/chettris for other people's failure? *shrugs* Neither am I generalizing nor stereotyping here bro bornfree. Bad and good people exist in every society and in every department, so all i was trying to say was, "We can't go on blaming a particular sect of people for every wrong thing that happens and neither can we ask for something that we don't deserve." The thread started with an intention to bring down bahun/chettris solely because they hold major positions and majority of posts in Nepal and my respond to it was "WHY NOT?" Since you admitted yourself that Rai/Limbus and many other groups go to other countries for better job and better lives for their children, tell me who else(as a major force) is left in the country? Of course, these very bahuns/chettris who according to you are not trustworthy and can't work in any other place... So, if they don't get works in lok sewa and administration, tell me who would? And since you brought the example of airport officers, let me tell you this- If there were rai/limbus in place of those people at the airport, they would have done the same thing. and if some other rich chettri was there in your place, they would have 'drooled' for his money too. You are talking as if it is in the blood of bahun/chettri to be greedy and that all of bahuns/chettris in Nepal are dying to loot you and your fellow lahures, weird eh!!!
