marwaris get a bad rap for their contribution to the economy. They are the risk takers, engage in collaborative efforts and maintain a disciplined lifestyle. I think we should try to learn from their culture. Khetan has always been controversial. Girija jailed him in "LC kanda" and general public thinks he made his fortune in "hundi" business. Whatever he might have done to establish himself, he created economy for Nepal...created countless opportunities for Nepalese people....remember some of you might have financed your education, house, business through his financial insititution like Laxmi Bank or even Himalayan Bank... The baby boom generation of Nepal had tough time to establish themselves. There were very limited options if you were not from the Rana/Shah family or part of the Newar family that engaged in trade with China/Tibet. Unless you did "dayan bayan" and extreme "chakadi," opportunities were limited. Khetan leaves younger gernations an inpiration and platform to create more socio-economic opportunities I hope that the younger generation will try to find their Heroes within Nepal than in Wall Street Journal or Harvard business review. I hope in the near future, before the baby boomers start to dissapear, I hope history will document their achievements...Ashu interested?
