Read the NRN legislation. There is a clear definition of who is and who isn't an NRN.

Nepalis and people of Nepali origin in India and other South Asian countries are not considered by the law as NRNs.

i read the Nepal government's NRN act. but kura ra kulo jata lage ni huncha bhanchan(interpretation can be directed towards any direction). Some are saying any individual who has once root in Nepal can be NRN. since bhutani nepalese have their forefather root in nepal, they are NRN.

Most, surprisingly, i found some bhutanese and indian nepalese in NRN executive. how far is it right?

Bhutanese-Nepalis are not NRNs. If you are not currently a citizen of Nepal (residing abroad,) you are not an NRN. If you are a Nepalese citizen and you take up another country's citizenship (thereby losing your Nepalese citizenship), you lose your NRN status.

The NRN Association (in my opinion) in itself is a misnomer: It should perhaps be called Non-Resident Nepalese Association and not Non-Resident Nepali Association. The word non-resident by itself connotes a permanent residence, a country to which one belongs, a citizenship, and not the one to which one's ancestors belonged.

A Nepali speaking citizen of India residing outside of India is an NRI, not NRN. A Bhutanese (no matter what his/her ethnicity) residing outside of Bhutan (even if it is in Nepal) is a non-resident Bhutanese, not a NRN. You can't be a "non-resident" of two different places at the same time, unless you have dual citizenship and reside in a third country.

NRNA talks about the Nepali diaspora, but the Nepali diaspora is a miasma of citizens of Nepal and citizens of other countries who have Nepali roots. By that implication, "non-resident" does not imply to citizens of other countries because they do not have right of legal residence in Nepal, and therefore, non-resident is a term not applicable to them.

I am a Nepali speaking, dhaka topi loving, dasain-tihaar-teej- etc-manney non-resident Bhutanese (of Nepali origin, if I may add that!). Thank you vewy much! And no, I don't want to be a NRN, not at all!

Here's the NRN Act (in Nepali):

http://www.nrn.org.np/downloads/nrn_act.pdf

Article 2(ka) defines an NRN as "a foreign citizen of Nepali origin" and "Nepali citizen living abroad." 

Article 2(kha) further defines "foreign citizen of Nepali origin" as someone who himself/herself or his/her father, mother, grandfather or grandmother having been a Nepali citizen has become a citizen of another country, other than the countries within SAARC.

Article 2(ga) defines "Nepali citizen living abroad" as someone who has lived for at least 2 years working or doing business in a foreign country other than someone living in a SAARC member country, Nepali citizen deputed by Nepal Governmen to a Nepali diplomatic mission or consulate general and [My note: This "and" should have been "or"] someone studying in an educational institution abroad.

Hope this makes things clear.

Take it easy, republic....

The term NRN has no practical relevance outside Nepal.  Even if it had, a 60,000 Bhutanese-Nepalis is nothing that a few hundred thousand Nepalese should worry about. We wont even make a dent in your regular DJ parties.

As for inside Nepal, we will invest in India rather than Nepal without second thoughts. We have done so for a long long time. That is because in corruption-ridden Nepal, even refugees have to pay bribes to get minimal services (accorded ideally to any foreigner) from the Nepalese bureaucracy, from the refugee coordination unit in Jhapa all the way to the Home ministry in Kathmandu. Thank you very much, but we won't be thinking anytime soon of putting ourselves through an unnecessary ordeal just to lose all we have to the shameless  'sarkari adhikaris' of Nepal.

Again, don't worry too much. You don't really need to create any  friction between Nepalese abroad and other Nepali speaking population. We will be nice to each other and be fine just as we are. Thanks much!
