सबभन्दा दयनीय अवस्था विदेशिएका निम्न वर्गीय र विपन्न युवाहरूको हुने गर्दछ। मधेशबाट धान काट्न हरियाणा, भैँसी दुहुन पञ्जाव र आलु–प्याज उखेल्न राजस्थान–गुजरात धाउने सर्लाही–धनुषाका कामदारहरूको कुनै सपना हुँदैन, दुई–चार पैसा जोगाउने बाहेक। कलकत्ताको सोनागाछी र बम्बईको फर्रास रोडका कोठीहरूमा मलिन अनुहार लिएर बसेका चेलीबेटी रेलगाडी चढेर पुग्छन्। र, पश्चिम एसियामा भुइँ पुछ्न, खुट्टा मिच्न गएका युवतीहरू हवाईजहाजमा उडेर। तर हविगत दुवैथरिको एकनास नभए पनि मिल्दोजुल्दो भने हुन्छ। सिमला–नैनीतालतिर भेटिने पश्चिम नेपालका ‘डोट्याल’ होउन् वा गोहाटी–शिलाङ्गमा भारी बोक्ने पूर्वी तराईका ‘बिहारी’; विदेशमा रोजीरोटीका लागि परिश्रम गरिरहेका अधिकांश नेपाली युवाहरूबारे नेपालका ‘क्या बोर भो यार’ पुस्ताका शहरिया युवाहरूलाई केही थाहा छैन। त्यसैले ती प्रशान्त तामाङ्गको हिन्दी गीतमा हिले नाच देखाउँछन्, खोक्रो राष्ट्रियताको विभेदकारी नारा लगाउँछन् र च्याटरूममा गएर नपुंसक आक्रोश पोख्छन्: ‘नेताहरूले देश बिगारे।’ खै त देश बनाउने युवा जोश र जाँगर देखाउन सकेको? धेरै जसोको उस्तै उत्तर हुन्छः ‘के गर्ने, यहाँ काम देखाउने ठाउँ नै छैन।’ ऐ, अनि अमेरिकाको भारतीय रेष्टुराँमा भाँडा माझेर नेपाल सप्रिन्छ त? जवाफ सबैलाई थाहा छ।

Dishwashers in USA have better future if gotten greencard, compare to CK lal in Nepal with his good income as an engeneer. CK can lose his job if someone other than his party member becomes his boss, minister, or GM. CK has to send this son/daughter to expensive school, fulfill their demand till they are 18, when then it comes the time when CK's children would wanna come to usa on student visa , spend thousands of dollars and they'll end up washing dishes anyway. Moreover, god forbids but if CK has to go through major health issue like heart transplant, heart attack etc, and if he has not bribed money as saving back up then he's screwed. He has nothing to look for other than look up and wait for Yamaraj to show up on his bull.

 A disherwasher , working in an indian restaurant can earn money without taking any bribes, if gotten green card by his generous dhoti master he can move on to better jobs, get insured for health and emergencies, enjoy the free education to his children , send his children to state universities , apply for credit and buy homes, businesses and after 5 years get a passport and go to Nepal and make CK jealous, so he will come up with more b.s  like this fired by his frustration.

i wonder what CK would do if he won the DV lottery...people like CK always have problems with low incomed,  low class people from Nepal. They would rather have them work in their houses , their lands in terai, or starve to death. But to go seek future and earn some money in foreign land becomes unpatrotic and braindrain issue for them...

WEll CK why don't you start out something like Microsoft or IBM in Nepal and provide better wages, benefits, and future for Nepalis. Then see how many Nepalis will return.

एक कुरा लेख्छु भन्दा भन्दै थिए,
नगेन्द्र प्रसाद रिजाल प्रधान मन्त्री हुँदा वहाँका छोरा ले पनि अमेरिकामा अध्ययनरत हुँदा एस्तै काम गर्नु भएको कुरा म् सानो छ दा सुनेको थिए।
यही कुरा , हाम्रा लेखकलाई बालक रिजालको काम आदर्शको रुपमा लिनु हुन्छ होला, किनकी ठुला ब डाको कुरा भए।
मेरा एक मित्र ले उपहास गर्ने गर्थे, हाम्रो समाज कुन्ठित र कुटिल छ। शिक्षा मन्त्रिका छोराले दुध दुहे, ठुला कुरा भए, जन साधारणले सबैगरेका सबैले गरेका छ्न र बाध्यता छ,
बाध्यताले गर्नु पर्नेलाई हेय दृष्‍टिले हेर्ने र रमाइलो को लागि गर्ने लाई आदर्शको रुपमा हेरी स्रमको महत्वलाई न्युन गरेको छ।
यि लेखक तिनै सामाजिक कुन्ठा बाट कुन्ठित छन र तेसैको परिणति हो यो लेख।

I would also disagree with Mr. Lal and agree with the rest of the commentators here in this thread.

People like CK Lal looked down upon people who would work in the food industry. He is sort of discouraging people to work like that.

No work is big or small, prestigious or disgraceful.

The labor force contribute more to Nepal than so called professionals, in regards to remmitance. (there was an article in Himal sometime ago ).

But one thing for sure, those of us who would not do such works in Nepal, would do in the US.

Somebody should forward this thread to him.

This is the 21st century. The world is getting smaller everyday. Immigration is a commonplace. Even in Nepal, Many people move from hilly regions to plains. how many of them go back to living in terai. but people do send money back if they have family back there. That in turn helps in the development. There is nothing wrong in moving to a different place or working in a different country. People from abroad send so much money to Nepal everyday. Where does that money go? Do people eat money? Why is it not flowing? There is no point in blaming anyone. You cannot help others unless you are in a position to help. That is whats going on. People want to make sure that they  and their family is in good shape before they even think about helping other or their country for that matter.(at least most of them). My parents never wanted me to come here, but I did anyways and the situation is so bad now, they don't want me to come back. Who is to blame for that? me? There are tons of people who are wearing the same shoes that I am. I am doing my part for the country in what I see is right and so is everyone else.
Nobody has the right to say that I or anyone else is doing a wrong thing. Mother Teresa wasn't born in India. I don't hear people from Macedonia complaining about it. Everyone should do what they think is right.

CK is not talking about individual, he is talking about whole country. Brain Drain is never good for any country.

Brain Drain is not good. Neither is Brain dead. I would rather have brain drain than brain dead.

CK Lal has also written a big article on his support to labor migration sometime back. He has reflected how people going to Arab countries are able to uplift Nepal but in this article he is more talking about how people with brains are not doing work that they should be doing. that has been my understanding.

cowboys ,  if everybody will start thinking that then our country will remain like this for ever.  somebody has to stand up right , rather than running away from the situation. CK is just doing his part,

Staying home and  joinig Maoest is productive, then ?

I am not saying that I don't want to do anything for the country, but,  like I said, everybody can only do what they are capable of. I cannot say about anybody else, but, I would take care of my family first and then think about my country. I believe that is the case with a lot of people too. I would rather not talk about what I will do or what I should do. There is no point in talking big about what you wish. But, if someone wants to do for their country first before doing for their family, I got nothing against them, I will appreciate. Its your choice. I love my country, no doubt about that. There is a point where you have to be practical. Idealism can never be achieved. Philosophy is good in paper. Commenting on people and what they do is not doing your part. That is just doing what we are doing now.

Whatever!!!!!!! "no matter where you go and what you do" Its the ethics of journalism to write the articles with exaggerations. if not, who cares the articles if it is a normal article and do not pinch anybody. "If dog bites a man, its not a news; but if man bites a dog, that's the news." So let them write about anything, but sometimes truth is bitter, that's what happening over here. Many people are working for the indian and pakistani people. Thats how people,especially students, are surviving in usa. So what?

Guys "kaag karaudai garchha pina sukdai Garchaa" Lets do our own business. Who cares those .

Guys I forgot to write this: we are nepali and we have to adopt the nepali way. For instance, Nepalese leaders and most of the government job holdershave still been adopting the bribary system no matter who raise voice against bribary system or take action against them. Still without giving bribe or without the so called source-force u can't do anything. So we have to be like this Stubborn. Ok Goodluck guys.

jon kerry's first job was washing dishes in restaurant was told proudly in inteview with journalist at tv program. i wonder why i cant do it when i dont have water to flush in CK,s toilet which was made in expensive with corrupt mind. CK has got closed mind. thats all i have to say.....

there is nothing wrong washing dishes in restaurant one may wish to make some money to support by herself. I have seen software eng.  washing dishes here after getting laid off from the current job. CK laloo is a very brilliant ash whole

सि के लाल गलत छैनन् न त अमेरिकाको भारतीय रेष्टुरेण्टमा काम गरेर स्वाभिमानी हुने नेपालीहरू नै गलत छन् । गलत छन भने ती लाउके पल्टिनेहरू छन् जो प्रशान्त तामांगले इण्डियन आइडल जित्दा नेपालीले जित्यो भन्दै मनाउन पछि पर्देनन् तर नेपालकै तराईयालाई बिहारी धोती भनी दुत्कार्छन् । अनि तिनीहरू गलत छन जो बिदेश छिरेपछि अथवा अमेरिका पुगेपछि जस्तो हैसियतमा भएपनि अनावस्यक तुजुक देखाउँदै , उपदेशक बन्न पुग्छन् ।

सि के लालले आलोचना गरेको मान्छेको कामको स्तरलाई हैन बरू सबैले बोकेको फोस्रो आडम्बरी चरित्रको हो ।देश वा परदेश जहाँ बसेर  राजनीति , प्रवृत्ति, नेता र मुलुक सबैलाई गाली फलाकेर जति ठूला कुरा गरे पनि मुलुक बन्दैन , देश बनाउन उहीँ पुगेर काममा जुट्नु पर्छ ।

.rational sumedhu :) ...out of pain but very true

कुरा सत्य हो र त्यो मान्नै पर्छ , केही समय अघि नेपाली टाइम्स वा हिमाल खबर पत्रिकामा सि के लालले लेखेका छन, त्यो पनि सोचनीय छ :

सयौँ वर्षदेखि नेपाली पहाडेहरू भारत , ब्रिटेन, अनि अहिले पनि ब्रुनाइ, सिंगापुर अनि अरू पनि मुलकमा भाडाका सिपाही भएर  बेलायती गोराहरूको ठेकेदारीमा अरू मुलुकहरूको राष्ट्रियताको वफादारी निभाउन खट्दा तिनीहरूको राष्ट्रियता प्रतिको नियतमा कहिल्यै प्रश्न उठ्दैन , तर किन तराई र तराईवासीको राष्ट्रियताको बारेमा प्रश्न उठिरहन्छ ? के यो सत्य हैन र 'नेपालको अहिले सम्मको राष्ट्रवाद पहाडे राष्ट्रवाद हो ' ? प्रशान्तको जीतको खुशी यही नेपाली सोच प्रवृत्तिको तस्वीर हैन र ?

म भारतको सुदूर पूर्वमा जन्मेको पहाडे नेपाली हुँ र पहाड मै बस्छु अहिले बिदेशमा भए पनि  , तर तराईवासीलाई सफल भए मात्र मेनस्ट्रिमको नेपाली ठान्ने नत्र बिहारी वा ईण्डियन धोती भनेर हेप्ने पहाडे मानसिकता माथिको प्रश्न एकदम उचित छ । अनि जति जे भने पनि अति धेरै अप्ठ्यारा र मानव निर्मित बिकटताका बाबजूद नेपालमा बसेर आफ्नै दुखजिलो खेपेर , जीवनको रथलाई अगाडि बढाउने स्वाभिमानी मानिसहरू कुनै पनि बिदेश पलायन हुनेहरू भन्दा सयौँ गूणा प्रशंसनीय छन। यसको अर्थ यो पनि हैन कि बिदेशमा पुग्ने बित्तिकै मान्छे बिग्रेका छन , तर धेरै जसो बद्मासी र स्वार्थका पर्याय बन्दै स्वदेश र स्वदेशमा बस्नेलाई हेलाँ गर्ने र उपदेश पिलाउने खालका पनि नभएका हैनन ।तर कोही कहीँ बस्दैमा वा काम कुनै पनि गर्दैमा कमसल हुँदैन , उसको मानसिकताको विकृतिका अनि प्रवृत्तिका  कारण हुन्छ । बिदेशमा मैले देखेका धेरै नेपाली एकार्कालाई माया र सहयोग गर्छन, परिश्रमी, स्वाभिमानी र अरूले विश्वास र पत्यार गर्ने खालका छन् । तर त्यो भीडमा ठुलै हिस्सा स्वार्थी, आफ्नै दाजूभाइ ठग्नेहरूको पनि छ । नहोस पनि किन, ठग्न पनि जसको नजिक भइन्छ वा जस्को विश्वामाथि घात गर्न सकिन्छ त्यहीँ सजिलो हुने कुरा त हो नि !

किन हामी अर्कोलाई आरोप गर्दै वा गाली गर्दै मात्र आँफू अगाडि बढेको महशूस गर्छौँ ? यो त अरू गाडिहरू तिब्र गतिमा अगाडि गुडेको देख्दा , आँफू गतिमान बनेको मख्ख पराइ भएन र ?

हाम्रो सोचमाथि हामी मध्येको कसैले प्रश्न उठाउनुमा कुनै गल्ति हुनुहुँदैन तर अपेक्षा त्यत्ति हो प्रश्‍न उठाउने स्वयंले पनि यही राग अलापेर त्यही प्रवृत्ति नदोहोराओस् ।

.Sumedhu not unreasonable again...to the point and realistic. In addition to some other important remarks, you brought up P Tamang’s episode as part of your argument, and since you opened the closed chapter for one more time, this question hit my mind by chance...

Did girija, mk nepal, prachanda, or some other democracy preachers (who practice least btw) applaud Mahabir Pun? Did anyone of them pose for photograph with him? I’m sure a no nonsense like Mr. Pun does not need a pat on his back from anyone of them or gimmick for that matter but did they bother at all to inform the youths the achievement of the true son of the soil??????????????

(Nepal ma democracy ko kura garnu ra sajhama thulo thulo kura garnu ustai ustai ho nanu...ani ma pani tyahi dyaangko mulaa....kura sacho yahi ho kyaare k ko laaj bhannalai)
