Guru-jee, Since you got first information about "Freenepal.org", "Liberal Democracy Nepal" and "nepaldemocracy@googlegroups.com" from me, here is a quick additional information. 1. Dr. Alok Bohora is one of the active members and an editor. Here is the list of the founding members of "Liberal Democracy Nepal " (LDN): Dr. Alok K. Bohara Dr. Anup K. Pahari Ms. Mallika Shakya Mr. Sharda J. Thapa Dr. Gaury Adhikary Dr. Ambika Adhikari Mr. Girija Gautam Mr. Arun Sharma Dr. Shiva Gautam Mr. Suman Timsina Mr. Shambhu Lama Mr. Naresh Koirala Mr. Dilli Raman Dhakal Dr. Govinda Koirala Dr. Jeet Joshee Dr. Shyam Karki Dr. Tara Niraula Dr. Madhu Ghimire Mr. Dilli Chaudhury Mr. D.B. Gurung Mr. Subhas Darnal Ms. Bishnu Pariyar Mr. P.L. Bishwokarma Mr. Purana Bista Mr. Yubaraj Ghimire Dr. Murari Sharma Mr. Bishal K.C. Mr. Puru Subedi Mr. Prakash Adhikari Mr. Ujjwal Bhattarai Mr. Hom Raj Acharya Mr. Ratan Jha Dr. Pramod Aryal Dr. Pramod Mishra Dr. Mahendra Lawoti Dr. Mukti Upadhyay As far as I understand, LDN is organized as a semi-academic organization as opposed to activist organization. LDN's website appears somewhat messy to me. Perhaps that's the reason it's discussion forums are not very active. 2. Freenepal.org, on the other hand, is an activist organization. It has not revealed it's members. Ms. Daniela Ponce is the official contact person and she and Mr. Homraj Acharya have been co-ordinating it's activities. Their website is relatively very active. You can post your comments to it's articles as freely as in Sajha, but not as indecently as in Sajha. 3. "nepaldemocracy@googlegroups.com" has been my favorite place to hang out, because all rich, famous, powerful and beautiful Nepalis and celebrities hang out there nude. Okay, I am joking. But really, nobody is allowed to put on mask and you can meet a lot of famous and influential people there. But entering in is as hard as entering the wife-swapper's club reported in Sajha sometime ago. Basically, you need to apply with your real personal information and at least one member should know you personally for your application to be accepted. It was formed after a high volume spontaneous email discussions in various topics after DC rally. Hope it was informative.
