There are many people living in Nepal who are as capable as the ones who migrated. The system is not in place for them to help develop Nepal. It's easy to write about how manpower is being brain drained and how it would help Nepal if they are back in Nepal. But the writer fails to understand that no matter how many smart and intelligent people stay in Nepal or go abroad, it doesn't make a difference until the system encourages development. The system is the government and until and unless the government is capable of encouraging development, even if every Nepali in the US and abroad goes back to Nepal, it wouldn't make much difference. Look at the government. They are scared of Maoists. They are letting mass murderers out from prisons. How are they going to encourage positive outcome from the 'smart' and 'educated' Nepalis? I liked the idea of paying more to the people in government so that they don't have to depend on corruption. But, the corruption goes so deep within the infrastructure of the society and economy that, it is not going to facilitate anything.
