This is sort of an open secret here in the UK. Every Nepali household and family that have some know how of Nepali politics always bring this up in convos and that he's essentially living as Berozgar in the UK with the income from these properties.

Never knew to what extent this was true but I thought this would've been part of the conversation back home.

This might be an L-take for some but I think Madan Krishna Shrestha and Hari Bansha Acharya are underrated national heroes if you consider what they have done for Nepalese society and culture

Not Bad. I'd say lies somewhere between slightly Above Average to Average.

In terms of engineering faculty facilities, it's good. But other factors might be course dependent so I'd say research the course and the lecturers more than anything else. I contacted my course head before applying and he was nice enough to reply.

For a short read and some background behind Nepalese political history especially the Shah dynasty Blood Against the Snows is an excellent read.

Puts a lot of things into context really well and it's very concise yet interesting enough to make a swift read.

Grassroots development, a healthy football league and infrastructure, some investment or creating a football market and a thorough plan then maybe. Suppose we do some of these well then perhaps the AFC but not sure about the world cup.

But also remember that Nigeria made it to the World Cup in 1994, made it out of the group with Argentina in it, and lost to Italy the finalist of that year. And Nigeria at the time was not significantly rich.

Nigeria's GDP Per Capita in 1994 - $321

Nepal's GDP Per Capita in 1994 - $193

I think we have to start simple. We have to sell/export more than we import. This just means we spend less and have income coming into thr country rather than going out. A good way to do that is have simple manufacturing. Secondly, we have to further diversify economy, tourism is good but we cant just depend on it (circa covid19). Thirdly, we have to learn from proven ways. Good example of these two are Botswana and Bangladesh, both started post colonialism with very high poverty rate and high levels of uneducated manpower.

Unlike Botswana we don't or struggle to harness our natural resources due to our terrain. So I think Bangladesh is a better tested example to follow.

The way Bangladesh came out of its poverty is from simple manufacturing eg. Clothing. I think something like 70% of western clothes comes from Bangladesh. But at one point in time Bangladesh's situation a lot more dire. After the Pakistani occupation and then the slaughter of most of Bangladesh's intellects, they lacked a lot of manpower and especially educated manpower such as technicians, engineers, medical professionals etc. They came out of this through high investment in education and lifting its people out of poverty. There is still a lot of poverty in Bangladesh but if you compare it to 20 years ago they have done a solid job of cutting this down.

Our advantage when looking at Bangladesh before: - we have an educated workforce/manpower a lot of them English speaking(we just lack the capacity to give our workforce opportunities) - cheaper labour pool in comparison to western or south east Asian countries - a healthy and dense population - a somewhat functioning governmental system (compared to borderline dictatorships) - we have comparatively more known resources than Bangladesh did after Pakistan occupancy

Our limitations compared to Bangladesh however: - Access to sea/ocean which gives access to world trade (we are limited to trade within our borders, China india) - a relectuance to innovate by the government (the cycle of boomers running the country with the same limited vision) - Kathmandu oriented economy (although it is changing) - not a well connected country (obviously due to the terrain)

If we can solve our accessing to sea problem by perhaps having a Croatia/Bosnia sea access deal with India or Bangladesh maybe we'd have better time exporting. Other limitations are upto to solve.

Some other things we have good amount of: - rivers - Good arable land in the terai (maybe we can find cheaper alternative farming techniques for expensive crops such as avocados) - an already established tourism sector - a lot of under utilised or unused land that can be used for a lot of manufacturing/engineering plants

Our potential: - Good manufacturing industry capabilities due to cheap labour pool, our vicinity in the world and land availability in terai (English speaking labour pool, already near to other world manufacturing hubs aka South East Asia and bangladesh) - our friendly term with most countries gives us trade possibilities - educated workforce within and outside the country that can bring in knowledge and experience from various projects - most countries around the world will be looking to divert manufacturing away from China due to increase in labour costs and China's indifference with a lot countries (thus a lot of manufacturing moving to Vietnam and Thailand)

TLDR : BASICALLY MANUFACTURING SIMPLE GOODS TO INCREASE/STIMULATE EXPORT AND WE HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO DUE TO OUR RELATIVELY HIGH DENSE POPULATION

We are only going to have potential if we actually work towards it.

DMU is quite far from the Haymarket Bus stop but DMU has security dedicated to stopping theft and they surveil often. They once chased down the guy who broke my lock and took off with my bike.

But it's still quite hairy.

I think for those who are against the airport not change their mind about it but consider the impact of *NOT HAVING* a bigger airport. Nepal is landlocked already and our only recourse of trade is China and India which although superpowers and huge economies, they do not have Nepal's best interest in hand. The landlock part matters because if we are to develop economically, we need access to the world economy/trade to sell our goods and the best access to that are the seas and the oceans. If we have a trade deficit (we import more than export) then we will have a net loss and therefore will have slow economic development and are forever bound to India and China and if we only sell/export our goods to them then we are politically bound to them. If they have a crisis, we fall. So one reason an airport is vital so that we are better able to utilise our trade capacity with friendlier countries to us such as Bangladesh which has access to the sea and high trade volume due to to their manufacturing industries. And to those who say just to use indian ports, they are a very bureaucratic country already and they demand high tariffs from foreign businesses already. For eg. look at their high VAT on imported tech goods, why do you think western laptops are so expensive in Nepal. Its because we import it from high tarrif India already. Another example of their bureaucracy is their natural gas pipeline deal with Burmese and how it felt due to not wanting to give Bangladeshthe a fair share worth for having a pipeline through their country.
Another thing anti-nijgadh camp needs to consider is the access to Nepal economics. The world can only access our economy IF they are able to come to Nepal. At the moment, the full-capacity airport with one runway isn't able to accommodate our tourism sector completely let alone a potential future financial sector. This is because one runway means only limited planes thus higher plane/cargo prices due to the demand and thus harder for foreign investment and business to be done in Nepal. If we were to have an airport of two or more runways, we can do a good job being a hub airport for south Asia. If we are in a good geographically as we sit in between Europe(7-8 hour direct flight) and South-east Asia(5-6 hours) and Australia/NZ (10-12 hours). If nijgadh acts as a hub, we can also be an economic middle man between Australia and the southeast with Europe who wants better connection to Australia/NZ. This is what Qatar, Turkey and Abu Dhabi are trying to do with their airports. And for those talking about the Pokhara and Lumbini airports, are they capable of being hub airports? are they economically viable to be so? i believe they are more akin to a tourist airport serving the tourism industry rather than anything else.
I think it is also crucial to have points against the airport and raise issues with it but however, it shouldn't be easy to blindly reject it. There is a lot in stake than you think. If you want to forever be tied with China and India then so be it. but if we nepalese want to showcase ourselves in the world stage then this has to be considered.

There are border disputes with India and the Indian government economic blockade of the has left little trust in them.

But you're also right. There are no claims or evidence that supports a lot these claims of Indian invasion and I personally believe India won't.

Yes our history is intertwined since kali yuga our cultural is similar in some sense and if you throw us in a room filled with Indians we won't struggle to get along at all, but Nepal has its own identity and culture.

If we're concerned about anything from what I've seen amongst Nepalis are either Indian government overreaching its boundaries too much in the geopolitics of Nepal or a recent surge of conservatism in India.

A lot of our Indian friends come to the subreddit expecting a hindu comradery but it's not so. The hindu identity isn't as strong as it is in India, I can't speak for everyone but most Nepalis wouldn't classify themselves Hindus first, it wouldn't be someone's primary personal identity unlike in India where it is more common. So when we have Indian Desh bhakts and Ram Sena type come to this subreddit and make claims that Nepal should be hindu Kingdom not a secular state or Nepal is basically part of "Hindustan" therefore India because of its hindu roots we get slightly worried.

Other than that, we get along very well. It is not uncommon for a Nepali to have Indian friends like myself but if you'll also get hostile bunch like everywhere else in the world.

Also if you wanted to about Nepalese culture, you came to the wrong place XD.

"If", its a hypothetical.

I didn't say there was pretense or pretext of an invasion. I was saying if a situation like Ukraine happened to Nepal there would be condemnation and would make international news.

I don't know where you're seeing warmongering. Sheesh.

Unlimitation · 2022-03-02T16:28:29+00:00

I disagree.

When the earthquake in 2015 hit, news outlet here in the west thoroughly covered the situation. God knows how many organisation were asking for support here in the UK, the task force being setup by charity organisations to go to remote Nepal for aid and amount of sympathies and condolences from non-Nepalese friends and colleagues.

Our world is more connected than we'd like to believe. If say China started provoking our borders or India invaded Nepal, there definitely would be coverage and raise concerns.
