A/X, I'd just post Mazemyan's first para for your post's rebuttal (Mazemyan, my apologies for using your words without approval).  BTW, Why even single out Raju Lama when the list can go on and on forever?

"Sapana Shree, RajaRam, Premraja, Karna Das, Roshan Gurung, and a multitude of other Nepali artists are here in the US (they came promising the US embassy in KTM that they will return).
