i second your sentiments there, isolated freak. that is why i said india has masterfully put the negative spills from its growing empire into nepal. and if i'm a hypocrite for focusing on the negative spills (barriers on our development) from india, then those with opposite view are simply being too naive in thinking nepal should be able to and can take advantage from inda's growth. i think realistically speaking, the solution is somewhere between my hypocrisy and others naiveness. this is probably where we could use india scholars.
