Nepal could have been one of the best but we missed the opportunity. As for the reasons for being at the bottom, I feel the following factors (you are free to disagree to any, no execution or penalty!): - We are basically lazy people - We lack technical skill and thinking, - We lack entrepreneurship, instead of starting our own business we like to work in a Dhoti's home or business - Our neighbors include Biharis, UPians, and Bengalis - Our major industraliasts are Indians with no interest of serving the country but only earning profit, they have no faith on Nepalis. In all major responsible posts they employ Indians. - Major portion of our land is barren and less fertile, - Almost all of our politicians are from the 'back bencher' class (or Rattu das) with no logical thinking capacity and vision for the country, - Qualified people are busy grazing on Green Dollars in America or elsewhere, - Not many of us are nationalist, many of us feel proud to be identified as Indian - And what not..... I am not only blaming others, I am also a part of the problem.
