Just re-visiting my almost 5 years old argument in favor of Dual Citizenship. *** *** *** *** *** *** *** Thread: Dual citizenship in Nepal Posted on 26-Feb-02 11:52 PM ...The fact that several countries are allowing dual citizenship tells us that DC [Dual Citizenship] works. And the best news is that the globalization of the world is speeding up day by day and there is nothing on the way strong enough to stop it. Archaic have become the days we should worry about DC as being an 'ambiguous allegiance or a divided loyalty' of the citizens endangering the sovereign interest. C'mon folks, if others can do it, we can do it. If they are doing it, there must be good reasons for it. Whether we should do it or not should be based on whether Nepal benefits from it or not. Period. Even if DC amounts to rewarding those who 'betrayed' Nepal, if Nepal benefits from it, Nepal should allow it.... ...Among many painful realities of Nepal is that it is a SMALL country, it is a LAND LOCKED country, it is a RESOURCELESS country, all of which unmistakably shape a national psyche of surrendered inferiority complex. We have accepted this as our fate and we have stopped dreaming. Actually we stopped dreaming a long time ago. Our dream committed suicide in GosainKunda together with Amar Singh. Since then we have never dreamt. How can we in right state of mind and current state of the country can dream ? We are a tiny country surrounded by giant India. We have no access to sea of trade, opportunity and hope. Right ? Well, may be not. Let me put it briefly. By dual citizenship we can build a world wide virtual nation of Nepal that extends from Darjiling, Sikkim, Burma to Europe and North America. I know what the skeptics are going to say about it. They will say No, there will be a massive immigration to Nepal beyond its capacity or this or that. I say look at Israel which allows dual citizenship. The number of NRI (non resident Israeli) is several times more than the resident Israelis and they are scattered all over the world. And it is no secret that the real strength of Israel is these dual citizens. You may say we can not compare Nepal to Israel. I say you are only limited by your imagination. Folks, DC is our sea, DC is our oil, DC is our Dollar, DC is our land several times larger than the map we have shown until now. DC is our passport to a powerful and glorious future that is in our reach. Lets own it.
