VISHONTAR ji, Sadly it seems that we do not yet have foundation of logic, but of religion(that also misinterpreted) in our society. The people in power in our society are still stuck in 18th century. When people try to reason in nepal for justice, it will be like "kaag karaudai garcha pani sukdai jancha". Money speaks louder than reasons and logics. So what would you suggest to do in that kind of situation? You mentioned network of communication, but how is it supposed to work when people are misinformed about the situation? The powerful ones control even the flow of right information. e.g. many villagers were unwilling to promote building of roads in their villages because the jamindars informed them that tourism (their source of income) would diminish becasue of modernization. How can you claim Nepal doesn't have big landlords?
