I know a lot of young generation has returned home and I am among them.
Nepalese are even leaving high level jobs and going back.
America is such a place that the more you stay the more you will be stuck in its debt.

There are lots and lots of opportunity in Nepal. You just need to explore.
Now we want to have a Nepali Dream and not American Dream.
Jai Nepal.

 @mno
totally agree with you. 

 Hats off for those four people and you too mno. I am one among them who has been stuck here from last 6 years. I am waiting for the right time and i swear to god, as soon as that comes in I'm not going to listen to anyone and purchase my ticket and leave this country. 

"Respect" for all the folks returning back home.

totally agree and respect for all of them ..!

My family is related to one of the person mentioned in the article and if my dad had promised me life as lavish as her's I would have never left the country in the first place..people, Do some research before throwing urbrespect to someone! Just saying!!

It'$ all about your deci$ion.

After spending a decade in North America I'm also thinking about going back to Nepal.

I want to open socially and economically very progressive political party based on many ideals of former Vermont Governor Howard Dean and current Ohio Senator Sherrod  Brown.

 I know jamindars sons and daughters,
some politicians sons and daughter
some big businessmens sons and daughter
Some doctors sons and daughters who has settled in America.
What you say about their life in Nepal? Won't they have lavish life in Nepal? Ready made job for them. 
No matter what at least they are back rich or poor to be with their aging parents, to enjoy all the festivals, to enjoy gossiping relatives hahahaha. 

America is a torture for old parents. And you will be old one day alone in nursing home. That is why all these old NRN want dual citizen as they are tired of lonely American life. May be. They have money but.no one to show off those achievements.

Respect to all those who've returned back home, that was the plan for many of us i guess. Quite a number of my own friends/acquaintances returned back . When I think about it over, almost all of them are well established in one way or the other. For many others though, it is very difficult to go back and start from square one with that hard  earned AMRIKANEY degree, specially with our kind of society on your back.Again, respect to those who returned but then kudos to those ones too who have have stayed on and struggled.Life here is no piece of cake !!!

i know few people who went back too. they were sons and daughter of big arse corruputed politicans who barely got crappy degrees and in their crappy majors. most of them are working in high class jobs. i don't know anyone who has genuinely went back to Nepal  to develope the country. i knew an uncle who's dead and went back to Nepal back in 70s thiniking he would make a change. but our society doesn't care or respect to the honest people. our society talks and show great respects to corrputed people. whoever is good at sucking the poor people's money he becomes a "khandani" all of a sudden and receives tremendeous respect in the society. as far as taking care of old parents goes, i don't see the ones in Nepal are doing a great job either. most of them want to sell their parentsays land and live lazy lavish lives anyways. i would rather live in a nice clean nurshing home and get proper medical and care than to be burden on other family members. it's not easy living in USA for froigners. language problems, job prospects, assilimation, being away from friends and family , away from your culture are the few problems . if someone lives with all these problems hoping that their children and them will have a better life then why isthat out Nepali society is always trying to make them feel like losers. 
vsome of our ansistors in Nepal came from mongolia, some china, some India, before that even in those countries they came from somewhere else, as mammals we always move for better live, from one place to another, why is it wrong all of a sudden? it's good if some are returning to Nepal but let's also respect all those hardworking Nepalis who are lving away from Nepal and making their honest lving for their better present and future. 

Not trying to say their decision was wrong, but don't see anything to be so emotional about  those folk. It may  possibly be  the lack of power to "struggle for existence" in the USA and the ease to sell their US degree in Nepal. Don't know how many of those really thought they will be back to serve the Nation, while they applied for F1 visa. If there are so many drawbacks of American life, why did you dive into it in the first place. So many TU/KU graduates are doing well for the Nation. 

One can do a lot more for the country if he/ she wants, no matter where the preson is staying. I think being more practical is more important that  an emotional.

Cheers !

Here are some of my thoughts on why someone returns:

1. Someome whose could not find an economically sound Job here. Lets say a guy spends 10 years in earning a degree and he earns a degree in economics or human relations or other non technical subjects where H1 is not possible and even if its possible the pay is between 35K - 60K which is barely enough to make a living of a college graduate worker here. So it makes lots of sense for someone in this situation to return home where he might not have to worry about the mortgage and the bills. From the ones i see returning majority of them are in this situation. I am yet to see someone with a technical degree and is making 80K - 100K salary return back home. Even though some who return claim to state they are returning to do something for the country...it kinda looks like they are returning because they are better off returning and want to do something for themselves other than the country or the countrymen.

2. Need to return due to family reasons. One of my friend returned right after he finished his undergrad to take care of his ailing mother. These cases are very rare.

3. There are few cases of  people who return because they really want to do something back home. I am really impressed with people who give up HUGE oppurtunity here to go back home and do something. I am talking about people who are very successful here but decide to go back home giving up all the luxary and money here. I would not put the recent college graduates in this category.

4. And there are these fourth kind....who boast about his father owning about 100 ropanis of land back home and ne never has to work in his life and that is why he is moving back. I have noticed the numbers in this category is quite larger than no 2 and no 3 category.

 I wanna see investors in massive infrastructure, not returnees. But thats me. Make money wherever, invest back. Give back to "your" community.

It's good to see many of us long to go back there. Few conclusions based on the reponses:
- Returnees are/might be sons/daughters of corrupted family.
- Returnees don't have salary higher than 60K. (This is the cheapest comment one could make)
- Returneess' family promised them lavish life.
- Investors are more important than returnees. So we should ONLY invest there, not return.
- They couldn't succeed in US, that's why they returned.
- Their degrees are in the non-technical fields where H1 is not possible.
- If they really wanted to return, why did they come to US at the first place?
- Their parents own more than 100 ropanis of land there.
- Evolution and migration is good; so why do only the returnees get all the respect?

I disagree with the above statements, does anyone want to discuss further on these?

nepcha this people cant see positivity in anythings.. i think it was a brave move when so many of us thinking to do it still we cant do it.. i have friends went back n they are doing good .. n none of them have 100 ropanis nor politically affiliated .. they are hard working positive thinking people unlike few loosers who cant appreciate nethn

I personally know a person who's returned back. He's doing pretty good back home!

Anyway, I do not think we need to glorify this news.

Human beings have always moved for the betterment of life. Theory of evolution supports this. Those who are most in move are better economically and socially. Otherwise why move?Nepalese have moved from a remote village to Kathmandu and then to USA and Europe for better life in one generation

In the shorter term the migration may not seem benficial, but in the longer run it has always lead to better life. At least for next generation.First generaation will suffer many problems of adaptation.

First generation people who migrate have more nostalgia of their child hood, or they may return because of the love for their kith and kin. But to me thiose who claim they returned for community, society or nation seems all crap.They have returned because their parents have sufficient property to support them either from corruption or inherited.

Those who claimed they return for the love of the nation will get disillusioned sooner or later atleast in the Nepalese context.

I am confused: everyone here is saying they would like to go back but then bashing the ones that went back.
Sounds like 'sour grapes' to me.
Regardless of the reasons they should be commended and hopefully that means few more will be able to make up their minds and go back if they want to.
