Nepal is not home to five or 10 ethnic groups but over 100. That is why the key to power devolution in the country has to be about giving a lot of power to the 75 districts. Creating five or 15 states might not be enough power devolution. The solution might lie in creating really strong district governments with large budgets of their own.
The only full timer out of the 200,000 Nepalis in the US to work for Nepal's democracy and social justice movements in 2005-06.
