"I personally really admire him," said Keshav Bhattarai, a student at Kathmandu's Tribhuvan University, where he is specializing in conflict, peace, and development studies. "His appeal was very good. Though he was cruel, if we look at history we'll find that he was one of the greatest leaders."
An unscientific survey I conducted of people on the streets in Kathmandu yielded similar results: People of all ages and educational backgrounds referred to Hitler as a "genius," an "enigmatic personality," and a "great leader." One man, in Kathmandu's Basantapur district, even told me "we [in Nepal] need a leader like Hitler."
"In our high schools, we learn about Hitler, but they don't teach us about the Holocaust," said Pramod Jaiswal, a Nepali university student studying at Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi. "Teachers only teach how he was a good leader for German development. I had a friend from Belgium and I told her Hitler was good for Germany and she started crying. I was really shocked."
