Nepal, as a resource, has not been valued nor respected. Thus, Nepal, sadly, became everybodies bitch, and no one's responsibility.

The solution would have been to do a SWOT analysis on Nepal, as a potential resource. As a resource and a product, what are Nepal's strengths (culture)? What were it's weaknesses (geographic positioning, economic development)? What were the opportunities that Nepal had (Due to the social network and friends that Nepal had all over the world, It's human resource connection)? What were threats to Nepal as a resource (due to economic chaos, political stability)?

How could this product have been developed? How do we harness this product's strengths using the opportunities that it had? How do we avoid allowing this product to succumb to it's weaknesses because of its threats? 

What an irony that in Nepal where there are so many intelligent people, they could not develop this beautiful economic and spiritual resource?

What is the scope of this product called Nepal? Nepal is a certain type of product as resource of tourism. Nepal would have functioned well in a certain type of environment's financially and in manufacturing. It would not have functioned properly in a different type of environment. What kind of environments, cultures, would Nepal have functioned optimally in? What kind of support system would Nepal have thrived in? Where did Nepal need to be supported in order to succeed?

But who had the time to study that? Our leaders were too busy tossing Nepal from one political environment to another, congratulating themselves that they could afford to do so because of the power they wielded. Who had the time, energy for reflection?

The solution would have been to take the product, called Nepal, and do it's SWOT, discover it's potential and then position it in the appropriate market, at a price that it would be picked up by an appropriate demographic of international customers. But the product didn't find it's ideal placement. No one had time to devote for such a task. All the leaders were too busy running around like a chicken without it's head.

No one took the time to study the resource and to see it's SWOT. Nope. As a resource Nepal was simply tossed and dragged from one political environment to another in the name of developing it's value, when really, they were damaging and lowering it's value by making it adapt so rapidly in so many different political environments, with the judgement of modern media recording it's every slippage and fall.

Why was it the Rana Maharaj's responsibility to respect Nepal and see that Nepal reach it's economic potential? Why was it the Shah's? How seriously do you think the Shah King's took took our future seriously when our "commoner" political leaders after democracy don't seem to care?

No, our leader's job was to look good for their society. Our leader's put more energy and time in driving around in their slick foreign cars to all the departmental stores around Kathmandu in picking up the furniture for their homes in Kathmandu than they spent time in strategically planning the future of Nepal.

So instead of doing an indepth study and then developing the resource known as Nepal, it became everybodies bitch. Nepal as a resource has been shaped for many different markets. It has been shaped for the Indian market. It has been shaped for the Dubai market and the middle east market. The Europeans have their own take on how human rights should be conducted. And being everyone's bitch, it became no one's responsibility.

As the cliche goes, Nepal has been a coconut in monkey's hands. Take the time to see the potential of the resource, you say? SWOT analysis you say? Who has the time for such sillyness when our leader's time was strictly divided between showing off, living up their positions, travelling first-class, and then fighting like rabid mangy dogs over who can screw the bitch that is Nepal, the most?
