Himalaya, in case you ever wondered, Dr. Gurung invited the heads of the manang community in Ktm the mid nineties saying that they too needed to attend the gurung samaj meetings in Ktm since they represented a part of the gurung community.  As per the chain of events, the reasonings I mentioned above was the major emphasis he put forward.  However, the mananges chose not to attend as they felt they were better apt straying from anything political and moreover, they always held the belief that community service should only be done if it benefited the manange gurungs...This thinking today, has now changed (I hope).  LOLz
