Chhiring, The purpose was not a showing of strength, but making a gesture. We are organizing rally even at places where very few Nepalis live. I do not know if that makes sense to you. Larger crowd is certainly better. However, if I am really interested in numbers, I'd look at it this way. Compare these rallies with the ones organized by the supporters of the King. How many rallies and how many people in them you see in support of the King ? Zero (not counting the handful of royalists' and neutralists' parade in Sajha ;-) ) Now, I hope these small crowds make some sense to you.
