S_R, very well said.


To look from another perspective, US changed today because whatever happened, her people stayed put. With the exception of the local ethnic inhabitants, everyone who lives in US today is a child of an immigrant. Having migrated to that country, they made the bold decision to stay put, generation after generation, nurturing their blood dreams till it has finally manifested on Jan 20. Do you think that the first African slave who was chained and dragged to American soil, would have even had the smallest fragment of thought that hundred of years to come his descendent will take over the hottest seat in the country?  


Now, how do you envision Nepal in the future when the cream of the crop migrates to greener pastures? When their talk is more effective than their actions? Do you think your descendant will one day change Nepal to become as great as US? How can they when you embrace another citizenship? How can we stand together and work shoulder to shoulder when all we think about is how to get the Green Card?


Love for one's own country will only fruitify when one digs his heel deep into the mud and refuses to be pulled out by the lure of a better life in a foreign country.
