Dont forget that the success economies of East Asia are all homogenous societies. To sum it up, the biggest disadvantages of Nepal are:- 1. Diversity 2. Nothing in common to unify the country 3. Democracy 4. Beligerent neighbors 5. A f@#king competetive India who can undermine just about anything Nepal does. 6. A population who is more interested in wasting time on Bollywood/Kollywood than getting to work. 7. Poor quality of human resources 8. Overpopulation Thats all I can think of right now. You are all free to add more. |

http://www.ektaonline.org/ THE GUJARAT MASSACRES: THE COST OF SILENCE download pdf The state of Gujarat in India once renowned as the home of the peace activist, Mahatma Gandhi, is today home to over 100,000 victims of recent communal violence, most of them Muslims. Of these numbers, over 2000 were brutalized and killed in every way imaginable and in ways till now unimaginable--stoned; burned alive with kerosene; stabbed; butchered; raped and burned; and, raped and cut open with fetuses removed, displayed on a tip of a sword and then discarded in fires. The unfortunate survivors that witnessed entire families erased continue to suffer in over-crowded make-shift relief camps and now face a different specter of death in the form of disease, an unrelenting heat wave, the approaching monsoon, and starvation. The violence in Gujarat began soon after an incident on February 27, 2002, when the Sabarmati Express was stopped near Godhra and several compartments were torched leading to the death of 58 Hindu passengers, including women and children. While conflicting reports exist about the exact sequence of events, it is clear that a confrontation between Hindutva activists returning from the controversial site of Ayodhya and the mainly Muslim residents of Godhra escalated to the point of the train being deliberately set on fire. What ensued in the wake of the heinous attack on the Sabarmati Express was a state-wide retaliatory carnage of unimaginable proportions the social, psychological and economical damages of which defy quantification. Immediately following the train incident at Godhra, frenzied Hindu mobs across the state of Gujarat unleashed their fury on the Muslim population by brutalizing and obliterating entire families and neighborhoods, looting their property, and destroying places of worship. To date, the numbers are as follows: over 2000 dead and buried in mass graves, over 100,000 in inadequate relief camps, and an estimated Rs. 10, 000 crore ($2 billion) in property damage. The unaccounted damage to the people of Gujarat as a whole, to the cause of communal harmony, and to India as a nation far exceeds these numbers. As NGOs and activists for communal harmony seek ways to bring relief and justice to the victims of the Gujarat massacre, fact-finding reports point to the following critical findings: State participation and complicity in communal violence in Gujarat: The rest can be found in the link. |

Sudden change of mind Agrawal dhoti? How come? your Mama yelled at you or what? The biggest disadvantage of Nepal is ofcourse Maadwadi, who are born in Nepal but are still Indian in their Mentality. They ruin our country, send money to India, and eat Nepal like termite. Kill all the marwaris and Nepal will be better place to live. They just snatch the oppertunities from OUR hand -- leaving us empty handed. I wonder why Maobaadi's are killing Nepalese. They should be killing marwaris. Could it be possible that Marwaries control Mao's? Their could be some advantage on doing that -- after all marwaries don't even hesitate to sell their mother for the sake of money. Freeek |
