Initially, when 'becoming a fan' concept started in Facebook and I saw people
becoming their own 'fan', I was not very keen on doing something like
that for sajha.com ie. asking people to become a fan, because I felt as
though there was an element of narcissism looming in the whole act.

Fast
forward a year or so, and it is becoming evident that Facebook is
increasingly becoming an important part of everyone's lives and it
holds a lot of potential to spread information. Even in recent days
during the 'indefinite bandas', facebook became a tool for bringing
together various individuals through their consent or dissent of
different aspect of the bandas and life in Nepal. It was amazing how
many Facebook groups about Nepal sprouted within a few days timeframe -
all of which were formed by individuals who were concerned about the
common Nepali person's right to work for a living without political
agendas coming in between his/her right to feed him/her self and family.

With
this in mind, I wanted to start a sajha fan page in Facebook to bring
together all concerned individuals who feel feel a sajha love towards
Nepal, and feel that the common Nepali has been affected very badly
amidst the political battle for supremacy/power. The village Nepali has
been affected negatively and similarly the common Nepali living in the
city has also been affected negatively. The sajha fan page is about
concerned Nepalis who have a vision of a better Nepal. Who support
politics that protects the common right of Nepalis and Nepal by not
calling forceful Nepal bandas using coercion and force.

Every
political group aspiring for governance needs to show common respect
and courtesy to their common citizens. If any political group does not
seem to have respect for the common citizen, how can we expect them to
fairly govern the people they are supposed to; provide the people with
opportunity they deserve; implement infrastructure for education and further development?

The
sajha facebook group is not about people who are against any one
particular political group. It's about people who support the basic
rights for the common sajha people of Nepal.

Please join the
sajha.com page in facebook. Become part of the concerned group by
'like'ing the page. If nothing else, it will be a social experiment in
finding out how many of us are out there who have genuine democratic
aspirations for Nepal where politically driven extortion, threat,
coercion, force and lies towards a common citizen is not supported.
