Swagat Nepal has good intentions I guess but forgets that the MCC agreement between Napal & USA is not one between equals. One of the richest & most powerful nation is providing a USD 500 million grant to help Nepal build its electricity transmission & highway infrastructure. A poor nation like Nepal can either reject such free funds for such nation building work or swallow its pride and accept it keeping in mind its long term interests. Remember even more powerful, economically & militarily, nations such as the UK, France, West German, Denmark, Belgium, Netherlands, Italy, Greece etc agreed to US economic support under the Marshall Plan after WWII - I'm sure the agreement wasn't equal too. The immunity provided to US govt. officials, including MCC staff, is similar to the one already provided to most US diplomatic staff at the US Embassy in Nepal - so Swagat shouldn't make too big a deal about it. The Indian govt. consent requirement was more objectionable but once again beggars aren't choosers. If we Nepalis want more respect than we have to develop Nepal & behave in a manner that demands respect.
