grgDai, Easier said than done. and i am not a neprican. however i found out that i happen to be an ANA member since they sent me a ballot last week with all kinda ppl's name with checkboxes around em and  i have no damn idea who is who so my research on the candidate is pending. frankly, i did not have any idea that when i registered for ANA events last year i automatically became an ANA member and earned the right to vote. My point here is, being an ANA member is not a great feat. you can become one if you are as concerned.

As concerns making them do it, that's right. the system becomes what you make of it. i see very many ppl lambasting ANA's inadequacies but has anyone here been through the trouble of visiting ANA website and dropping an email about this issue. someone surprise me, please .

We nepali are very good at rushing to judgements. noone beats us when it comes to pointing fingers. i have never had the opportunity to read not just ANA's but any nepalese org's accomplishment in sajha. does such organization exist? sure it does. but us nepalis do not bother to give credit. we just look at the negatives and start criticizing even without needing to know the whole story. we nepali need to learn to do our homework first and then express our opinion. only then we can have a positive production.

I dunno how they do up in Canada but in the US ppl are pretty occupied. Protesting is a very rare scene( damn how i miss nepal). in my opinion ANA not coming up with any statement about the encroachment issue might be the ongoing election therein. but we ppl can ask why ANA should be defunct during the election. dont they have an interim working order. Well it is how it is. and this is just my opinion. they might have been working on issue just that i am not aware of it.

No nepali will deny that this encroachment issue is the priormost. boils my brain. i have been hearing about it since i was born. nowadays media is doing a fine job by highlighting this issue. but posting dhotis pics in sajha and sloganing fock u india like some folks in sajha will take us nowhere but stand us out like the Palestinians. Fighting for our own land. What we need is a strategic approach. Bilateral talks. We need to calm down and proceed in a civilized fashion. It is high time we did it asap.
