A growing Indian empire

Yes, some of us just bash India and never try to realise our own shortcomings. Practically people from every sector in Nepal suffer from this mentality. If we consider just one area in Nepal, then this thing becomes more clear. I am trying to illustrate our hypocrisy from the situation of the medical colleges in Nepal. We all know that many medical colleges have been set up in different parts of the country in the last 10-12 years, with investments of Nepal or India or both. In the beginning, all these colleges had Indians working as teaching faculties and dictors, as there were insufficient numbers of trained doctors in the country at that point of time. In all those years, these colleges have produced at least five hundred nepalese doctors. But they are still facing a crisis of Nepali teaching faculties and doctors as they werefacing 10 years back. Though they keep on publishing vacancies for different posts at least 4 times a year, for interested Nepalese candidates, no one applies. The reason ? Almost all of the medical graduates who pass out want to go to Kathmandu, or else to some foreign country. The pay and facilities in these colleges is very good if we consider the general nepalese or even indian context. Pay scale equivalent to $500 - $1000 per month in Nepal can't be considered bad. But still they're not joining there. And once they get a job in Kathmandu or get a chance to go abroad, they just say that those colleges are full of Indians, Indians are useless, they shouldn't be allowed to come to Nepal, 'Indians working in academic institutions in Nepal' should be banned, Indians are getting so much money from Nepal and so on and so forth. But they themselves are unwilling to change the scenario. And these colleges are continuing with more than 60% of its staffs being Indian. I feel that most of us are similar kind of hypocrites.
