We feel constrained when we think that people back in Nepal are
doing every deplorable actions we will never support,and yet we,
fully knowing that they are wrong, yet feel that we cannot do
anything.
We smile and dip our head when a dignitary comes from Nepal to
USA, our US based organizations(I mean their chief) flock to their
service as if they have got their ultimate chief.A lot of time,
when our representative reads the citation of praise to the
feckless leader coming from Nepal,we know fully that the leader
doesn't deserve the praise,still we clap and sit in audience.We
listen to his speech again,get lectured, and feel impressed with
him.
This is not unusual but I know there are some individuals who
think this is wrong,and opt out of these ceremonies,knowing fully
the vacuity of these ceremonies.
I had one friend back in Beijing.(He,Both ISc and SLC board!, a
man of honor and by nature won't likd to be advertised,so
don't want to write his name here!)
When late Tulsi Lal Amatya Comrade helped two sons of his fellow
comarades to secure Chinese government's scholarship,A friend of
mine stopped participating in any event Nepalese embassy organized
thereafter.No respect to ambassador, no respect to the programs
chaired by him!!I think that was a good way to protest!
When relatively benign primeminister Man Mohan Adhikari went to
Shanghai and stayed in prestigeous JinLing Hotel, a few of the
students there just didn't go to the jadparty .No respect for
the whole ministry!(I can't remember if the sugar scandal was
already surfaced by then,but I think some of students were
simply disgruntled!)
It is difficult to say political ideology played a major part in
the decision.It is simply conscience.
It is rather shameful that such conscientious individuals are
relatively few in USA.Organizations like GBNC can decide,however,
who is the best person to fete and set exemplary trend!
This is my small opinion,and I am sure a lot of people can think
different way,because people can have their own different way of
revolting against what is contemptible.
