Sha:Kha:, noone is glorifying this news.
I have read more news about the mundane american life being portrayed as success stories in nepali newspapers than the above kinds of stories.
Those who claimed they return for the love of the nation will get disillusioned sooner or later atleast in the Nepalese context.
-> How can you speak for other people?
Sleepless, all your arguments are good; but my only question to you: is there any "value" other than paper money? Do you think that the person who got "educated" and "lived" in the western world won't have any impact on the family or the society he lives in if he went back with empty-pockets? Investment and money are important, but all of our sufferings don't end with having only money. We have many social problems, and the "educated" person can play important role in mitigating these issues.
Behoove_me, I'm a fan of your writing. I don't think the article is saying that the person deciding to stay in US is less credible. Why do so many are overwhelmingly/indirectly bashing them? You're right, nepali media/journalists write bullshit/fabricated stories many of times. Let's even forget about the people mentioned in this article. I don't think they're asking for more respect just because they returned from america. Your cousin seems to be a bad example. But aren't there many of the corrupted ones here as well? I read the other day the producer of 'muna-madan' took 10 lacs just for giving a ride to US. So, it feels good when I read the stories of returns regardless of their rich/poor status or their income or their grades.
