Empowerment of our people should come through economic awareness and financial independence not any particular kind of political ideology. We would have had the opportunity for economic development had it not been for the terrorist acts carried on by the Maoists for the last 13 years. It's not a rocket science to figure out Nepal would have definitely benefited just on the virtue of being in between two of the world's fastest growing economies. Which really makes you wonder about the whole motive and the precise timing of this so called "Maoist Revolution" and the international conspires behind it. I mean think about it, if you truly believe Maoists were running their party solely through donation and money extortion then you are kidding yourself. Nepali brain isn't any lesser than of Indians when it comes to IT stuff. We could have definitely had our share of IT and outsourcing boom Nepal. For India it would mean $$$ out of their economy into Nepal's. And I am not talking a few millions $$ here, I am talking in billions. So, it was a very easy choice for India to finance Maoist to keep the instability in Nepal while it took some of the biggest foreign investment in the last decade. Just like this generation will never forgive the Ranas for depraving Nepalis of education for 100s of years, the future generation will never forgive the Maoists for sabotaging their economic foundation. Once again I hate to sound such an India hater but the fact is their policies on Nepal speaks volume. So just like if we want political stability and peace, we need to separate ourselves from India (and I don’t mean isolate). It is just as much important for Nepal to NOT be so directly dependent on India for our economic growth. Nepal being landlocked and most of our imports and exports traffic via Indian sea ports has been their biggest exploiting leverage. Just a few days ago China opened its 5 billion dollars railway line linking Tibet to mainland China and if there ever was a starting point for economic awareness and financial independence, this is it! Multi landed highways need to be constructed, even a railway line of our own connecting Tibet to different big cites of Nepal needs to be build. If we can accomplish this not only we won't have to depend on only India or China but we can have them depend on us for proving easy and efficient trade route for Indo-China trade. We can be the transit point for over 3 billion plus peopl........imagine the possibility! Sky is our limit.
