Chikat,
You have rights to question whether Tibetans have any legitimate rights to protest against Chinese in Nepal's soil. Nonetheless more than anything, you're question is rather driven by your past uncomfortable/bad/ experiences with Tibetans in Nepal than the honest political debate.

Tibetans have always protest against Chinese in Nepal since 1991 (1st democracy movement in Nepal). It 'protest' just  never made to news as it was suppressed by Chinese Govt pressure to media outlets in Nepal. With Internet you're seeing just about every little protest in news; and nobody can stop either.

Now to your question regarding April 2006 movement.
>> Tibetans have always stared cleared-off from Nepalese politics. (Our protest in Nepal was against Chinese, not Nepal). Tibetan people are always thankful to Nepal and Nepalese people.

As Royal family; almost all Tibetans are very grateful to Nepalese Royal family especially to King Mahendra & King Birendra. Both King's were asked to deport Tibetans long back by Chinese, they never did for sake of humanity and took bold steps even though Chinese Govt is among the bigger donor to Nepal. King had enough vision to understand and empathize our cause. We do not agree and will never agree with autocratic ruler. Gyanendra was worst, he was the only King who actually closed our embassy in Kathmandu temporarily. We are glad he's gone.

As for your statement regarding Tibetan people laughed went you got booted by police reads too fishy driven by personnel hatred towards Tibetan.

Even during Gyanendra's rule Tibetan did protest; simply put my people were treated badly. Only during King Mahendra and Birendra's time Tibetan did not do anything.

You still have many movements ahead; good and go ahead, apparently everything in Nepal is now "doable" with little protest here and there. But you can bet and trust that Tibetan most likely will not participate in it.

As for loss of economy and money thing you're talking about; here are my views.
 a) your talk is really cheap believe me; ...shop closing and others. for how long half hour at max, that too in Boudha and place around Chinese embassy?
 b) I can guarantee that you know nothing, "nothing" literally nothing about Nepalese economy or any contribution Tibetans have made in Nepal nor you're even ready to know/accept about Tibetans work in Nepal.

by the way, do I have any rights in Nepal to choose whether I participate in any kinds of movement or protest or do I have to ask you first and get your approvals. I am second generation Tibetan, Nepalese citizen by virtue of birth (and lot of ghuss, actually its free).

You seems tobe driven more by hatred.
