Now I got your notice, I want to draw your attention to Nepali Nationalist Organization, a group formed by so called ?prominent and influential Nepalese living in the United States and Canada? to rally support for the Feb 1 coup. See the TRN article on that group http://www.gorkhapatra.org.np/pageloader.php?file=2005/09/26/topstories/main3. I was made aware of this rightwing outfit by its condemnation of last week?s Party-Maoist agreement. See their press release http://www.newslinenepal.com/index2.php?option=newsdetail§ion=&sno=641 These [chuckle] ?prominent and influential Nepalese living in the United States and Canada? greatly benefit from the liberal and democratic societies they live in, and yet they want their country folks in Nepal to live like in the 15th century, under a feudal monarch. See couple of terrible articles written by one of their ?prominent? members, Professor Khagendra Thapa supporting the king?s coup. http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL0504/S00146.htm http://newsblaze.com/story/20051119230531nnnn.nb/newsblaze/NEPAL001/Nepal.html The prominent Mandales? living in North America are, Dr. Khagendra Thapa (Michigan) Dr. Ishwor Devkota (New York) Kiran Dhungana (Canada) Netra Lal Shrestha (Washington DC) Ms. Kamala Sarup (New Jersey) Naresh Shrestha (Kathmandu) Dr. Kamal Pandey (New York) Bishal Bikram Shah Urgen Sherpa Mrs. Meena Shrestha Ang Kami Sherpa Yubraj Gurung Anil Pandey Amod Katuwal Shree Parajuli Dharmendra Gopali Rudra Rawal Subash Nepal Mrs. Ishwori Maskey Suman B.
