raazstone brother, i appreciate your concern over nepal but i am afraid, your views on how to make nepal- a sovereign and independent nation is based on shallow and baseless analysis. 1) if cultural dependence is the cause of slave mentality and domination/colonization, then how did british rule india or it's sub-continents? what were their cultural ties? were there any? 2) if i chose to listen to spanish song, does it make me their slave as well? if i dance in the tune of samba, does it mean i am their slave too? don't you watch english movies? would you consider yourself a slave of american or british?
