Amrit Joshi; Interesting article to read! But I have few conflicting questions to be answered. From when is Nepal self reliant? How could Nepal do itself away from India? What is the future perspectives of nepalese economy when the state is not directed to economic reforms? How could we remain globally competant with other nations when we ourselves cannot decide the fate of our nation? Nepal has 90% trade with India.... how could we not accept its terms? India is an emerging global market.... we should make the best use of it.. but how? Himalayan Marshal Plan is for the development of Nepal.... I am sure India have other hidden incentives.... how could Nepal depend on itself... if not taking Aids from others? Nepal economy and even our prime-ministers fund is allocated by foreign aid.... I hope we realize that? Any Comments?
