It was sad to see the list of Nepalese in the thread of famous Nepalese in the United States. It was sad how few names there were.
It goes to show that us Nepalese have a long way to go even in bringing ourselves up in the land of opportunity: the United States of America. Maybe one of the things that we lack is a strong network of support to bring each other up, instead of putting each other down.

The Raja Rajaratnam case shows how far and wide the Indian 'white collar mafia' stretches. Indians are using their strong network in their community to their advantage in many different industries. But the main ones are Financial Investment  (insider trading) and Information Technology ( with their "consultancies" ).
