A Problem With "Development"

Most of the Op-Ed written on the development aid sector of Nepal seems to fall on deaf ears. At best, the concerns are dismissed as --"what do you know about development?" The criticism of such pieces are mostly personal, designed to discredit the critics rather than a defense based on empirical evidence. Well, there could be some dire circumstances that will prevail if things are not changed. And, as Dr. Jeremy Rappleye (PhD, Oxford) points out in his very interesting Op-Ed (CLICK HERE), Nepal "will see increased exit and violence, not less," if we continue down the same failed path of "development."
