yow ImI, hehe I agree. economic prosperity is integral. but let's give this a second thought. the very first step that is needed to be done is decentralization. you cannot just say "economic prosperity" and start industrializing kathmandu. what we need is a just society and a just nepal, geographically. we need to have opportunities and options at rural places. would you be ready to go to Rolpa, Dolpa, Rukum, so on and so forth and dream of economic prosperity? Geographical consistency is what we are craving for. don't just think of social justice when we talk of a "just society". we want to see opportunities at ALMOST every nooks and corners of nepal. that's when you can talk of "economic prosperity". if you are dreaming of an economic growth in an unbalanced nepal (social and geographical), then you are living on a highly unlikely dream (for materialzing), my friend.
