You know Srijana, I agree with you.
I think that the more opportunity we get, we tend to strive away from each other. On the other hand, hardship tends to bring us togethor. 
I think your observation is correct. The more educational and business opportunities we have received both in Kathmandu and the villages has tended to encourage people to 'go it alone.' Of course that in itself is not necessarily a bad thing. Perhaps because of the new opportunities, we Nepalese, as a people, are finally learning to individually exercise our independence. Perhaps because we are so new at doing it, we haven't learned how to do it in a mature way. Perhaps we are so excited about our new found independence that we get carried away: we are a lot more interested at how much we can individually achieve, even at the expense of other Nepalese. Perhaps it is this that we are seeing in business, politics and in the family.

You know, I have seen a similar phenomenon in the Bhutanese refugees coming from Nepal. In 2008, when these Bhutanese refugees first came to my city in the United States, they all seemed so disoriented. They saw themselves as victims. They were confused and didn't know how to conduct themselves in the US. They all seemed to gravitate to each other for security, a sense of identity, a common culture, etc. But slowly since then, the youngsters amongst those Bhutanese refugees have started to get jobs. They saw the opportunity that is here in the US. So I have been slowly observing that since 2008, a lof of families have been 'going alone.' They have moved out of the government housing that they were initially kept in. They are realizing how to develop skills and to take advantage of the opportunities the US has to offer. I see that they are less and less bound by their identity as Bhutanese refugees. Instead, they are more identifying themselves as immigrants in the United States who have a lot more opportunities to take advantage of.

I think Nepal is going through a similar thing. Since Nepalese are less reliant in the bureacratic system of a centralized Panchayat government, there is a lot more opportunity for proving yourself. I think that Nepalese are more fixated in understanding how to develop themselves individually so that they can take advantage of and be competitive in a globalized world. Perhaps, we as a culture feel less of a need to be as reliant on friends and family like we did in the past. Perhaps we are becoming more self-reliant...but sometimes we become self-reliant at the expense of other Nepalese.
