I am not against any organizations or their events. But just a spare of thought to all these "mushrooming" organizations. Until perhaps a decade ago, we had just one organization - ANA, that used to or attempted to cater the needs of Nepalese living in America. It's quite understandable that the number of incoming Nepalese is increasing each year but does that necessarily evokes the need for more than one organizations based on regions, ethnicities etc? Are we that big in number that we cannot be confined and yet be represented individually in one single group? Are we that divided? Frankly speaking, and this is not to demoralize the honest and painstaking efforts from some of these organizations to help the needy Nepalese, I don't see the need of this many of them. We have this tendency to establish a group of so called "like minded" people in literally each and every field back in Nepal but unfortunately, only some of them have done genuine service for their cause. Just to introspect, shall we ask, are we not following the same inefficient "pattern" here in US and elsewhere abroad? In spite of quality education and international exposure, are we really moving ahead?
