could you please care to share the criteria that were adopted for the nomination? i am quite surprised not to find names of any academicians. inclusion of the names like suresh raj sharma or minendra pd. rijal would have made the list more complete in my opinion. i am also a bit surprised not to see dr. upendra devkota's name. until few years back (before being the minister to G"s cabinet), he was pretty much in the limelight. more seriously, i am shocked not to find my name in the list :P. perhaps i am featured in a more refined list of elite and illustrous people which is not so conspicuous hahahahaha :P LooTe
