Nepal is vulnerable... has been vulnerable for years, despite being surrounded by mighty mountains.The difference is that in the past, we were exposed to foreign invasion, and still survived. The fear now, is the fear within the boundaries. What Nepal is going through right now was inevitable. A poor landlocked country, with educated youths spinning around without a job or any prospect. To top that we are highly influenced by our radical neighbours. Name one country with poverty lingering and unemployment to popluation ratio dangerously equal to 1, without any ongoing domestic(civil) war/problems. The icing on the cake is the present political situation where democracy has the synonym, 'my way or highway.' Eradicating(as if that is possible) maoists might be a temporary solution, but the chaotic situation will create its new monster very soon. What Nepal needs is economical and political stability. Easy said. But how is it achievable? My thoughts on the question will follow, lets hear yours.
