No question about what you say. I myself is belong to a Rai caste but I don't beleive in Caste system. When you mentioned NY and NJ, same thing in Boston and else. Boston, where a huge number of Nepalese reside than any other states, I get invitation from Rai meetings every year and I never want to attend it. They're mad at me and no longer contact me. I beleive there are only two caste man and woman that was created by God. Then no caste is created in the kingdom of God.

As you said, no matter how educated they are they always tend to carry-on their caste bull-head. For example, Dr. Navin Rai (is the World Bank Indigenous Peoples Adviser) is the adviser to a "Kirat Yakthum Chumlung" chapter in USA (in 2003, participated in the Rai meetings in DC). Isn't this an encourage to those organizer and caste-believers? Please, I am not criticising Dr. Navin.
