Today is 4th of July, America’s independence day – declared July 4, 1776.
If that gives you any idea, Nepal is an infant compared to America or probably not even conceived at the moment.Although never been colonized by the British. Nepal became free from brutal Rana reign in 1951, who ruled for 100 years leading this nation into the dark age. Post liberation, Nepal established multi-party constitutional monarchy that didn’t exactly go too well –  as soon after followed a decade long civil war between maoists and government forces. Fast-forward to 2013 Nepal is still reeling from long suffering. For a country who’s been through so much in such a short time, I would say we are not doing too bad. Unfortunately we are not doing so great either. But this is a good reminder that we still have a long way to go. The goal is not to look at the US (or any other country for that matter) and see where we need to go. The goal is to look within ourselves and tread our own path. No country is perfect, not even the most highly developed nations of the world. So, keep an open mind, keep the faith, be hopeful, do what you do best, do good, be good and everything else will fall into place.
