HB Bhandari Prabhat
ANA Presidential Election Candidate (2011-13)
The ANA is not just a beautiful body of officers and executives who ask you to congregate once a year for summer vacation in one of the beautiful cities in America. The ANA, perhaps North America’s oldest organization, should be a hope and aspiration for over two hundred thousand people of Nepalese origin in our new home. Decades of mismanagement and neglect, however, have led to the endangerment of the hope of future generations of Nepalese origin in North America. If we want this organization around for our children and grandchildren, we have an option today to protect it by making its election process transparent and democratic with a sense of collaborative competition. Wavering in third party thoughts, crinkling grin, and a dark look at each other make dividing line more distinct.
I am sorry; I am caught up in a whirling vortex of emotion with a subaltern sense with few rigged e-mails and non- whiney sound in my inbox. I am wondering why few people are scared to take a long view with remaining glimmer of possibility. The ANA election episode reminded all of us about Plato's "Allegory of the Cave.” The theme of the allegory is that anyone who is in a dark cave for a long time, his/her eyes get perplexed in outside lights and want to move backward. Unfortunately, illumination and forward movement is always better than darkness regardless. Therefore, the dream of a magical ANA election might polarize few of you. However, this misguidance, hallucination, and dark cave is not a better course of action for ANA. Thus, you cannot polarize the rest of hundred thousand people in diaspora and make our community look more depressed and helpless.
A good many honest people have been disregarding calumny truth that so called blue blooded attempt to vow to establish to somebody superior superficially. Needless to remind you all, but I will that the duck keeps paddling relentlessly underneath but appears smooth and calm on the top. With plethora of immaturity, unfortunately, some of us have been engaged in wrapting process of fulminating our community in the worst possible ways. All of you know that a break way separation with break neck speed does not do any good to our community. Many moons ago, as a guest speaker in a principals' convention in Louisiana, the former State Secretary Collin Powell directed all convention attendee, "Principals, never do the blunder by cutting budget on English as a Second Language. Please treat every child in equal eyes. Then equality prevails in America". Unfortunately, few of you are satisfied with bad passage of mind, discriminating paid ANA members, your own Nepali brothers and sisters. Anyway, people won't believe on such specious arguments. Moreover, I want to highlight few basic leadership quality that my Hopkins’s professor shared with us, “A good leader challenges the process, share his/her vision, enable others to act, model the way, and encourages the heart.” Respectfully, I want your self- declared team to openly challenge me just in one or all of the above leadership ground. If all ANA members approve your team's outline of thought as better one in open debate, I will be the first person to congratulate your so called brilliantine team. Also, I will encourage many to be your paid disciples. So, now without murmuring under breath, having positive vetting, why don’t you set up a time and date for a public debate in forthcoming 29th DC convention with every legal candidate to engage in such a debate where every member will have right to approve our integrated road map. If you cannot advise for better process, you can not undermine your members' power with preposterous claim. If not, it will be futile like Sisyphus to mix your stink of ego with whiff of perfume and so called prestige to discourage new comers to participate in democratic process. As few of you claim your past with ANA, so do we claim our future with 110 percent vigor.
Nobody knows how high one jumps without first trying it on level playing field. So let's try to jump in front of the public without ignoring their duket sound of democracy. In this respect, I openly challenge your self declared team to defeat me in a real election process where every ANA's paid members' can exercise their unalienable right to vote. Therefore, as everybody, I do not have option to cachinnate at your legacy at this time. I won't lose my marbles with itchy feet to participate in election process. You might not like other peoples’ perspective but dare to listen them and make familiar to feel what most humans feel toward each other. Therefore, until and unless, I won't receive ANA majority of membership verification team's and election team's solid reason explaining the ground why I was deprived of serving my community by taking part in democratic process, nobody deserves such power to deny my candidacy except a federal court. We need to follow the due process to deny anything in legal provision in America, the country founded with Jeffersonian vision of “life, liberty and pursuit of social happiness.”
Before we go in real democratic process, I would really be grateful if someone from self declared team would answer my video delivered as an ANA presidential candidate attached herewith: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDFJ7kMY4uw&feature=player_embedded. At the end, let's not forget a famous saying: though it be raining gold in another village and raining rocks on your own, there's no place like home. In a nutshell, our extended identity in diaspora is only possible in collaborative competition with internal effective communication among all Nepalese residing in North America. The very competition will set up a tangible better course of action for ANA in the days to come.
