why nobody wanna talk about history? not even a single thread?? Anup???
Bahadur Nepali, never been colonized, brave Gurkhas... all from our history book ... so what do U think are U proud of our history that we are never colonized?
I was in my class and talking about the economic diference between North and South, and then somebody said most of developig countries today were once colonized, that is why they are behind, but man... we were never colonized... why are we still the poorest of the poorest of South Asia???

Thanks for opening up this board. Yes, I'm also looking forward to discussing more of history and lets hope this is like putting the bell in the cat and that we'll talk more and more about history.
We have never been colonized. I don't see anything to be that proud of. I kinda feel that our country may have been better if we were colonized. We did lose a major part of our territory to the Brits.
We are poor because of many other reasons. Colonization, I think, can be a reason for backwardness of some countries.

All the nations that have been colonized is on top of the game right now. But then to be colonized, the country needs to be invaded first and basically give up its sovereignty. People wouldn't like that

Yeah, many people think that Nepal would be better had we been colonized. We'd have definitely been bigger.
