Thakali Youths: You are wanted !!

Since this blog writes on anything related to Thakali, especially  Youths, Thasang Samajik Sanjal is rooted on what I have felt myself as a Thakali youth and  my deep personal thoughts on how we should move forward, if we are to excel in 21st century. We all youths strongly believe in our ancient socio - cultural roots in Thak Khola. This connection is deep seated in us, wherever we go, be it west or some other Asian countries. Since I was brought up and raised in a rural background near to Thak Khola, I had every opportunity to closely observe Thakali people and their day to day activities.  i am proud to be Thakali but up till when? This is my question to all. I understand, it is always easy to raise questions, but it is always hard when you need to contribute at personal level. There is a famous saying, "Ask not what your country gave you, ask yourselves what have you contributed for your country?" We can relate this saying to our own community. Therefore, i would like to present SWOT analysis before coming up with relevant question and possible areas, where can and are contributing as of now.

Strength (S)

• A community with entrepreneurial capability
• High literacy rate
• Business minded
• Can raise "Capital" required for investment
• Human resource
• Team work

Weakness (W)

• Not focused
• Very much influenced by national level socio - economic climate
• Very less presence in government /representation in politics
• Out migration of Youths to other countries 
• Poor system of mentoring / on job training / leadership

Opportunity (O)

• Joint Investment - Capital
• Cooperative - cultural
• Human resource
• Social network

Threat (T)

• National politics
• Out migration of Youths in search of better education & job, and settle there
• Disintegration of family values
• Value of education - how are we taking?

I put forward this SWOT analysis for each of us to look into and think about it. Therefore i will not extend this point in detail now, but i leave this task to ponder on all of you. It is only then we can self evaluate how we have contributed to conserve and strengthen Thakali socio - cultural values of cohesiveness and able management. Finally, TIME is the only limiting resource for all of us  and that is only 24 hours per day - no more, no less. It is up to us, how wisely we can harvest fruits from it. Decision is up to us - whether you want to be a beggar or next Bill Gates? Sky is the limit, so do not complain to your community or parent !!
