If you think it's a poor state,if you think having a per capita income of Rs.25,000/-one of the highest in india if a state with a population of 6 lakhs and a per capita income so high and one of the smallest states.see for youself if you find a begger in gangtok , the lifestyle of the locals and the gadgets.the number of people from each family having govt.jobs and being a tax free state where does the money form..... yup from the tax payer's pocket.The amount of young drug addicts you will find in towns like singtam, jorethang and melli.i am many like me will feel inferior to them inspite of having business in so called big towns trust me and spend 6 months to a year there and you will know.it seems the cental govt.knowingly ignores and pampers sikkim i am not sure why may be china or anything and i don't care but let me tell you it's not a poor state, it has the best road infrastructure for such terrain and it has 600 schools remember the total population is 6 lakh.By no means its a ignored state when most of their demands get fulfilled and the one like income tax exemption.let me see if people of bombay or pune get such exemptions where in the beggers are more than 6 lakh and live on streets and near ditches.i am happy for the people of sikkim and it's the most beautiful place in india and the people are nice if you are tourist for a few days the most peaceful state,people are dignified and respectful especially to women you will not find tapori and eveteaser's.

Nepalese are like every other people in India - no better, no worse.
I have always thought them to be part and parcel of India and Indian culture.
Unfortunately, the Bengalis, with their psuedo-marxist views and penchant for everything western, have themselves gone on to ruin their own culture and other Indian cultures. I am only reminded of all those Bengalis I meet living in the west. They will praise Rabindranath Tagore (who loved India and Indian culture), but will knock down every aspect of the Indian culture, left and right. Invariably they all rush to marry westerners and then sneer at everything Indian, and then claim that their Bengali culture Bengali is soooo superior. The Bengali "intellectual" will constantly deride materialism and capitalism at every public forum, but will live in huge houses with swimming pools (ever seen how Amartya Sen - the Bengali "intellectual" lives) and enjoy driving around in expensive fast sports cars. I can't understand this schizoid personality of the Bengalis. You have only yourself to blame for the ills in your society.
