The current perspective of development has hardly been more vulnerable to scepticism and serious criticism as it has been in the case of the third world countries. The prevalent nation of development is primarily based on the westernised values and consumeristic style of life which is by and large not conducive to the small sized developing countries like Nepal, and Bhutan. These are small sized landlocked countries deeply committed to their cultural traditions. As the situation today obtains, we can divide the developing world into two major categories, one, those countries who have accepted the western modernised model of development package exposing themselves to social, economic, political and cultural influences of the west like India, Pakistan, Philippines and other Afro-Asian countries and the other category includes smaller countries like Nepal, Bhutan, Afghanistan etc. which are intensely committed to their own cultural traditions, ecologically sensitive and landlocked.
