The land of opportunity
According to USA Today, the number of international students in US colleges and universities rose 4.7 percent to 723,277 during the 2010-2011 academic year and international students and their dependents contributed more than $20 billion to the US economy that year. Interestingly, Nepali students are one of the largest international student communities in the US and the number of Nepali students coming to the US has increased every year except last year. As stated by The Himalayan Times, an annual census of international students showed that Nepali students’ enrollment in US academic institutions dropped to 10,301 in 2010/2011 from 11,233 in 2009/10. The report attributes the reason for this drop to tough screening of Nepali students by the US embassy.Published on: 28 March 2013 | The Kathmandu Post

Greener pastures
They’re willing to water vegetable gardens in the scorching deserts of the Middle East but they’re not willing to do it here at home. Why is this?” This question crops up many times in reference to Nepalis who leave the country for employment. The pat answer is that we are ashamed of labour and there is no respect for work in Nepal. This may be true to some extent but it not nearly sufficient to explain the exodus we are witnessing.Published on: 27 March 2013 | The Kathmandu Post

विकृत मानसिकता र पलायनवाद
एक्काइसौं शताब्दी भूमण्डलीकरणको युग हो, जसले संकीर्ण 'सांस्कृतिक', भाषिक र राष्ट्रियताका वृतहरूलाई तीव्र गतिमा भत्काइरहेको छ। तर यसको फाइदा भने एकलौटीरूपमा विकसित राष्ट्रहरूले मात्र उठाइरहेका छन्। र, गरिब राष्ट्रका गरिब, कमजोर र पीडित मानिसमाथि भने अमानवीय व्यथा र पीडा थपिएका छन्। गरिबका अशिक्षित छोराछोरी र धनी एवं राष्ट्रको सरकारी सेवामा पहुँच भएका सभ्रान्तहरूका छोराछोरीका बीचमा भेदभावको ठूलो खाडल तयार भएको छ। यसो भन्दा र लेख्दा सभ्रान्तहरू रिसाउँछन् र डस्न पनि तयार हुन्छन् तर पनि सत्य बोल्न, भन्न र लेख्न इमानदार मानिस तयार हुनैपर्छ। पीडाको विष पनि पिउनैपर्छ। विकृत रुढीवादी मान्यताहरूको जगमा उभिएको समाजमा इमानदारलाई बेइमानीले उछिन्नेमात्र होइन, प्रहार पनि गर्छ। काम गर्नेलाई काम नगर्नेले नोकर बनाउँछ। सामाजिक प्रवृति असामाजिक व्यक्तिवादी प्रवृतिबाट पराजित हुन्छ। नेपाली समाजका पछौटेपनभित्र लुकेका यी प्रवृति नै वर्तमान संकटका कारण हुन्। यदि नेपाली राष्ट्रियता, सामाजिक परिवर्तन र भौतिक उत्पादनका विषयमा सकारात्मक चिन्तनहरूको निर्माण गर्ने हो भने अब यस्ता प्रवृतिलाई उदङ्ग्याउने सांस्कृतिक आन्दोलन सुरु गर्नुपर्छ।Published on: 25 March 2013 | Nagarik
