This thread is answer to Loote's narrow minded problem specification. Loote you have changed Ur stand: U were talking about top down approach now u are changing to bottom up. You can fool others not me .I gave you the idea of bottom up :) People who do not know what democracy is and do not believe in one should not try teaching democracy to others!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The problem specification: First of all, you and many others are pointing the problem of Nepal-king is wrong so you solution is wrong too!!!! The major problem of Nepal: 1] Geography: Geography plans an important factor in development of Nepal. What we call Nepal’s assets is infact Nepal’s main obstacle. The mountainous regions are hard to reach as well as develop specially for poor country like Nepal. 2] Geography location: This was, is, will be the major challenge of Nepal, Its location between two powers. Landlocked three ways by India .No access to ocean has played major economic set backs for Nepal. Not that it couldn’t have developed .there was one after other reasons which follows this. 3] Politics: Nepal’s politics has never been Nepal’s politics. During the time from British in India to now. Nepal never had its politics. It was Indian politics that has determined Nepal’s politics.TheIndian politics is such an evil; it changes its color every time from king to the Maoist now. 4] Failing to produce Good Leader: Nepal has not been able to produce one single great leader. A true leader dedicated to country. The closest one till now was ganesh man who didn’t get opportunity to do anything. 5] Impatience Nepalese: 1990 democracy was too young. To expect drastic changes from it .looking at the circumstance of Nepal. People had very high expectations from low caliber leaders. Even after so much corruption Nepal was moving to right direction until Maoist came in and failing to understand democracy in individual level 6] Maoist: After 1990 Maoist war paralyzed Nepal’s economy, the democracy and peace. It was technique to show how fail is the state where as Nepal wasn’t as bad as state after 1996.The war has not only cost life, but halted all the development efforts, education... Bombing bridges that are access to the villages and claiming that food didn’t reach? Scaring and kidnapping all the teachers and telling that state do not care about education? Nepal is poor country will be for I don’t know how long but whatever there it was is 10 times worse now due to great vision of Maoist! 7] Educated Nepalese: yes …you and me...what have we done for our country? Doctors don’t want to go in rural villages. Engineers don’t want to go but want to bribe ministers and get consulting projects. All Nepalese have learned is how to pull each other legs... how to run away from the country and responsibilities. Think that is going to change!!!By hate politics and politics of violence. You cannot change – 1and2 but you can change the rest but before that: “CHANGE THAT YOU WANT TO SEE IS YOU” -imi
