It's hip in Kathmandu to be against India. Arguing against liberalization and Nepal's own attempts at economic reforms, Nepal's notoriously insular business community regularly whips up a frenzy of narrow patriotism to protect its
own vested interests.
But whether those Nepalis like it or not, India is surging ahead in terms of economic growth (though it could do more!), and Nepal's future progress lies
on its smartly/strategically exploiting the vast Indian market for its own
products and services.
What follows is an interesting assessment of what India is doing and what more it is capable of. A must read for Nepalis who are India-watchers for Nepal's benefits.

*********************************************
India—From emerging to surging
India's gross domestic product is growing by an impressive 6 percent a year. But research by the McKinsey Global Institute has uncovered three barriers preventing the country's GDP from growing even faster: myriad regulations governing products and markets, distortions in the market for land, and widespread government ownership of business.
Thirteen policy measures could remove these barriers, allowing the economy to grow by 10 percent a year. Although higher productivity would mean fewer jobs in some enterprises, many more jobs would be created in the economy as a whole. Net employment would increase.
India's economy could be the fastest growing in the world—and the country's citizens twice as well off—if its policy makers embraced a deeper, faster process of economic reform.

Attacking Namita last time, Tiwariji displayed his loyalty to the mighty American power. US embassy will reward him well. Now he sends us this gungan of India when India is supporting maobadis to destroy Nepal. Side with USA and India, the big and mighty, does Mr. Tiwari ever have time to defend Nepal?

Hi Netra-ji,
Yes, without confusing you further, let me explain that I am unashamed
about my admiration for America DESPITE its well-documented/well-known
ills, problems, mistakes and what else.
But I have always been amused by the fact that so many sons and daughters
of Nepal's fire-breathing leftists and Marxists end up staying/living in the US -- a
point I love to make in public to make these Marxist parents uncomfortable
about their ideology that they have for the rest of us people!!
So, yes, I admire the Americans for their 'can-do' attitude, their generosity, their sense of fair play,their sense of volunteerism, their boundless optimism and energy and their ability to laugh at themselves. These are some of the GOOD things we could use more of in Nepal.
But I remain all the more excited about Nepal because, despite many, many problems here, there IS so much to do here and so much to learn especially if
you have ideas and have the ability to push them through . . . small efforts
here go a long way, and that's emotionally fulfilling.
As for India, yes, I am excited about its growth prospects, for growth in India means larger markets for Nepal and Nepalis too. By the same token, I am
also excited about China's growth prospects: I mean, come on, with one billion
people each on the left and the right of us, surely, there has to be a way for Nepal to make lots of money to eradicate poverty forrever :-)
And the funny thing is: Being of an independent mind (if you take American universities seriously, they help you become independent in your thoughts), I have never felt like a 'chamcha' of any country, including that of my own.

What the fudge is wrong with you Ashu-bashers?
Here Ashu has put forward a very interesting topic of Indian(hence, South Asian as a ripple effect) economic development, and all you can do is bring back the Ashoo bashing or Bahun bashing. Has the hatred permeated ya'll so much that an opportunity to discuss a good solid subjects no longer matter to you? I for one, and I am sure there are many like me, am tired of these attacks of personal nature in our forum, whether to Ashu or to someone else.

threeinvestigators (hardy boyu?),
you don't understand, or you are just ignoring the problem. why do you think people are going after ashu all the time? Think.
now, did you? there are other intelligent people who post interesting/educational/even controversial stuff. people do go after them also. remember namita in recent months? and trai when he mistakenly said something from geneva? how people went after him? in my opinion people are going after this ashu character like sharks after blood trail BECAUSE his total failure to understand not everybody is mesmerized by his harvard education which he flaunts till the end of the time. People are pissed off because he goes after one person not only here in kurakani but even in Comments. it might be one person now but he has done this in the past too. people know him from harvard days, scn days, tdn days and he has been like this. obnoxious, lack of people skill, arrogant, inability to sense peple's mood, trying to prove he is always right. These are some of the things why people are ticked off with him and hounding him.
I think he should not push people's button so frequently which he enjoys, obviously and his bashers should also have some self-restrain. Refute him with ideas not with his personal failings.
at the end he is enjoying this a lot!!!!!!! after all we are spending so much time discussing about him. i think you also see this.

I think this forum should show the IP address of the poster like in some other forums. That way posters will have to show a little more responsibility than a total lack of it as shown by some recent postings. Anonymity has been positively co-related with violence in lot of psychological experiments whereby ordinary people get violent as soon as their sense of individuality is replaced by anonymity by the use of facial paintings and/or masks.
How about that?

Rajesh,
if you were truly worried about people being slammed then you would not have asked for such a blatantly irresponsible request. people who are being slammed are either shrugging off these postings are coming back to get even. so let it be where it is right now. there are other forums, i.e. paper, where people can go for responsible acts i presume. cyberspace=virtual space=anonymity=poof! if you don't post, you don't matter. you come you go you stay - this is all upto you. ideas get exchanged, battered, made fun of, get twisted. all in the name of cyberspace. enjoy while it last, but please don't go on asking to show the ip address, or real name or real address or janma patri.
the problem is you cannot put a leash on this forum. a person may go to a library or a cyber cafe to post irresponsible stuff. so afte that are you going to ask for an official affadavit of person's real identity? we live in a modern world. information is everywhere, so is garbage. i have come to that conclusion. this garbage could be your own making or not. so let's try to live with that. for better or worse.

I agree 100% with Rajesh. This message board is not what it used to be. It's being used as a site for personal propaganda, for personal anonymous attacks, so much thesedays that the site as a whole is losing it's credibility. I think the site holds a lot of potential, but it needs to guard off these 'anonymous hooligans' by showing the IP address of the posters to keep a sanity check for the rest of the visitors who are not interested in the personal bashings that go on.
agree that anonymity brings out the worst in people since they don't have to take responsibility for their actions or in this case postings. This ANSHU person, is definitely, involved in personal bashing as the name bear resemblance to the person who's getting bashed the most here, and from his/her postings it's clear that he/she want's to remain anonymous and continue the smear campaign under the clean umbrella of anonymity. I think the moderator of this forum should think about it.

Contrary to what Anshu has suggested, I think it's unlikely that a person may go to a library or a cyber cafe to post irresponsible stuff. People like luxury and comfort. To have to travel somewhere to hide one's identity is preposterous and if someone has a need to do that, I suggest, they seek professional help immediately.

Like I mentioned before, I'm new to this site and I'm not a Boston resident. I like coming here to see some meaningful discussion. I can't believe how people have ganged up on Ashutosh Tiwari. It's pretty awful...I don't know the guy but from his postings, I don't see anything wrong with him. In fact, I appreciate his discussion.
It just looks really bad when a person can't even write something here without getting bombarded with so much negativity over petty things.

Its not all peoples, its same groups of peoples,
and they illude here with several nicknames.
As you know, truth is always one, and there is
only one Ashu, but, those who are in fake nicknames
to bash Ashu, can clone with different names,
and new comers will always find Oh! No! so many
peoples bashing against Ashu, and Ashu might
be a public villian. As early as these new
comer start surfing Ashu all postings they will need
much time to realize that Ashu had some problem
with some Sommerville and these Sommerville
are terrorizing this site targeting Ashu, and
they thing anybody not on their side as their
opponents. Example, take TP, Kitty ...
how these Sommerville jumped over them.

yes, i agree that this is such a waste of time but this is also what exactly happens in nepal so i am not surprised. nepal is just boiled down to a bunch of politicians bickering on small issues just like this website. it is sad to see all that american education and fullbright scholarship dollars wasted like this.
what a pity,

Well said, Ashu.
According IMF, India and China are the only major economies that will continue to grow at robust rates while all economic powerhouses head for what looks like a solid decline, if not an outright recession.

Ashu,
After long time, I am reading very sensible topics by you. The following article will tell the next major economies would be China and India and US. Being next door neighbour India and a Hindu county with similar religious and cultural values, Nepal should start to develop strategical to explore mutual beneficial economic cooperation between Nepal and India. Just want to share here
