From People's Review:
The Foundation of the Nepalese in America (FNA) has wished to extend its profound gratitude to His Majesty the King for granting an audience to FNA Chairman, Dr. Kamal Raj Pande, during his visit to Nepal.
"The FNA is highly honored by having an opportunity to put forth before the King that the King has remained the only hope for Nepal's survival, and the measures should be carried out immediately, no matter, even if required, the King should initiate to put an end to the whole structure of the present day governance, and for such Nepalese all over the world are awaiting the King's bold step.
=============================
I find it startling!

Who is this Mr Pandey?
And what the hell he thinks he is doing, who the hell he thinks he is representing?
FNA, what is this? what type of organization? A Coterie of special interest groups?
In that case it is fine. Otherwise, no one has right to claim representation of Nepali
in USA and go to king and ask for an end to present system. By the way Siwalik,
what is your source of this news? What's People's Review?
It is so important to distinguish between brownnosers and intellectuals these days.

People's review is an english news magazine published in Nepal. Its web address is:
www.yomari.com/p-review. I find its opinions either too left or too rigt. You can find out in their website.

I am also startled by the numerous so called gratitude and condolences that have been presented by Federation of Nepalis in America in the People’s Review. Some of these letters/articles represent overt generalization. Seems like submission to such conditions has profound negative impact of their ability to reckon reason and reality. Obviously their sense of invisible evidences has often led them to put forth dubious theories and biases.
One such letter is posted below:
“Letter from America
The on going Maoist insurrection in some parts of Nepal is part of an international leftist conspiracy to destroy Nepal's religion, culture, nationalism and ultimately monarchy. The extreme left followers or the other external forces desiring to end Hinduism or Buddhism from the soil of Nepal have continued to spread rumors about various conspiracies and are lambasting the few remaining members of the Royal Family in this time of mourning and family tragedy. They continue with their innuendoes and false news about the Royal family members and about there above the law dealings and various involvement'.
As regards the would-be-Crown Prince Paras Shah's misdeeds are concerned, all these are the creations of the extreme left or anti-Hinduism or anti-Buddhism forces, who are being incited by various criminal and external forces by backing them with kickbacks. For instance, the former Member of Parliament, Padma Ratna Tuladhar, as quoted in Mr. Burns article as saying some irrelevant words against our respected institution 'Monarchy' is himself a puppet of foreign hands and an undeclared member of underground terrorist group. The Maoist, who has styled themselves to Peru's Shining Path. The Maoists have spread terror and want to grab power with bombs and gun. Nepal is an abode of Gods and Goddesses, Punya Bhumi, the birthplace of Lord Buddha, a legendary land of Ram and Sita. Land of peace, nirvana, mukti, and blessed by Shiva and Parvati.
The would-be Crown Prince Paras Shah, in fact, has never committed any wrongdoing. Neither was he wrong in the accidental death of Pravin Gurung, a musician, it was neither intentional nor done knowingly with any motive.
What could a driver do when the motorbike of a musician who was himself intoxicated with excessive alcohol consumption, do when smashed heavily against a car in traffic crossing, late in the evening? Many such accidents occur on a daily basis around the world, hurting many people. This was an unfortunate accident and Prince Paras Shah has expressed deep condolences and sympathies to the bereaved family of Mr. Gurung. Truly speaking, Prince Paras Shah is a person who is very fond of maintaining close contact with the populace. He has been involving himself in various social and sports activities.
As any young man, he has had many adventures and risks taken. Now as a married man, responsible father with a young daughter, he is a more matured and responsible, wiser prince. The "Foundation of the Nepalese in America (FNA)", therefore, wishes to extend any assistance to the 'New York Times', a newspaper that is an institution read by people around the world. Please do not publish sensational news and please understand the sensibilities of Hindus and Buddhists, and above all Nepalis everywhere. Presenting the facts about Nepal is better than rumors and fictional write-ups, particularly about Nepal's Monarchy and other facts related to Nepal's tradition, culture, history and politics.
Foundation of the Nepalese in America”

Granted there is freedom of speech/press etc, still that was the biggest load of craps ever published!!

F*cking Pande! (gula ko doctor?)
He should not have done so at all. He must be looking for royal chut or what
or he has gone outta mind. This is the time to let all "shah and rana khandanis " know what they have done to our beautiful country in 250 so years!
He should be removed from the association right away.

i read with horror what the so called federation of nepalis in america had to say on behalf of the thousands of nepalis in america.
who elected these cronies anyway? when and where did such election take place? do we even know them? have we even heard of these so called elected members,least of all support their idealistic views about the monarchy? sycophants of the durbar they are, just read through their lines!.
as far as the story on paras killing the innocent singer goes, it is high time nepalis got the true version of events. one evening, the singer ends up having a row with paras, then uncrowned prince, and the next thing we hear about the singer is that he's dead, supposedly hit by the vehicle driven by paras. oh, what a co-incidence!
just like ....you know what i'm insinuating here..

Biswo ji and other gentlemen,
I have been living in the US for fifteen years and in New York for about 8 months. I never heard of FNA. They were not among parties to welcome Deuba in reception either. I am as puzzled as you are. I do not remember voting for a representative.
Perhaps, they have been doing something we have not heard of. Perhaps, FNA maybe an interest group like you mention.
Let's give Siwalik and FNA chance to explain what thery really mean and who they really are?

RPji and LamjungKunchhaji:
Thanks to you both. I am pretty sure RPji is right, these guys are pretty much
obscure group of people, and they have some special interest in having autocracy
in Nepal.
I am just wondering who picks guys to meet with king? Or is king just being
sorrounded by these kinds of people who urge him to 'take over' all the time?

Who on earth is this self appointed moron ?
I don't blame the idiot Mr Pande trying to get photo oppertunity with El King. But I am really surprized at the king' s Reps not checking the validity of such self righteous self proclaimed representitives. We as a community should be aware of such Morons. We should not be misrepresented by some moron who wants to hob Knob with the Hifi society in NEpal.
Maybe ANA should look into this and its validity. If this was printed by a news media by mistake we should expect an apology. We as a community of educated people will not stand such Phonies representing us........

None of the associations, ana, anma, or whatever or wherever they may be, represent Nepalis living in the America, as far as I am concerned. These are photo ops when Deuba or whoever comes to town. I find these associations sefl serving, feel good, and opportunistic. However, there are fine, fine individuals who have gone out their way to help others. Of course, the associations are there to reap the credits.
Tired of half-baked associations.

I have always been amused by the way two royalists fight with each other on the issue of who should the king listen to. It is pretty much similar to two co-wives’ quarrel regarding their husband.
"I am kanchhi. He loves me. He is going to listen to me."
"Terima Lakhauri. Prajatantra bhanne naaTho khelayera baseki chhes. Bada mero poi mero poi bhanera chiplo ghaschhes."
"Kina aaris garchhes ye dhhangre budhi. Marda Aaimaai ki 5 wota poi. Naatho raakhe ta raakhe raakhe. Hamra saheb hamrai maya ma bhutukka bha’ka chhan kya re. Mero yo shora barshe bains ko agadi tero tyo chaalis nagheko thotro budhyouli. hee hee hee hee "
"Dherai fariya na uchal ye nakharmauli besse. Tero chartikala duniya laai thaha chha. Ta tyo natho ko bhundi bokera hamro uha maathi jabarjasti bhirina aayeki hoinas ra ? Ti assatti bajjya gaaule haru le hamro ghar gherera ta randi laai jabarjasti hamro uha laai bihe garai diyeka ta hun ni. He parmeshwor, he sharada maai, ti bajya haru ko kahile bhalo nahos. Kahile shanti nahos tiniharu laai. Maile ke sarapnu parchha ra. Aafai Maobadi ra Khaobadi ko kaatmar ra lootmar le hari kangal huna laagi sake. Khuchchiu bajjya haru laai."
"tyai ta Didi. Yesto bela ma ke ko jhagada gari baseka haami pani chhya !"
"Didi didi bhanera chiplo ghasya ho ki kya ho. Mero poi lutera pugena. Aba ke lutne bichar chha ? hhwa… hhwa… (crying)"
(Jethi sauta ko ruwai le kanchhi sauta ko pani aankha rasayera aaunchha. Then she embrace her and starts to cry herself)
" Narunusna didi. oohu.. oohu.. Tapaai laai maile ganthi kuro ta bhanekai chhuina. oohu oohu.. Saheble malai maya gareko ta baahiri dekhawati matrai ho.. oohu ..oohu.. uha ta tapaai laai nai maya gari rahanu bhayeko rahechha.. oohu oohu.. la hidnus mero kotha ma. Ma tapai laai sappai kuro kholchhu….
(They go inside. I could hear them talking in a low voice. You don’t want to know what kanchhi and jethi told each other. Or do you want to know ?)
Let me know

RP: Are you following this thread and the discussion? Why do you expect me to explain what FNA is and their (mis)deeds? I brought this news to the attention of the forum because I found it "STARTLING". I had never heard of FNA. I wanted people to be aware of a conspiracy to topple democracy. I can understand when a thread is long and a person misses some points, but not in a short thread like this. SO LET ME MAKE IT CLEAR TO YOU and others who might have missed. I DO NOT KNOW ABOUT FNA. My guess is that they are some royalist chamchas speaking on behalf of you and me. The news speaks to that. For your benefit, I will post the link to the source:

thank you siwalik ji for bringing the issue of sycophants association out in the open.
i heard recently that a blacklisted businessman from hong kong is among the people who will receive the rajpatta or the numerous gurkha dakshin baahu from the king of nepal this year. apparently he had been spoonfeeding the local consul general who linked him up with a royal 'insider', who in turn, for his own 'benefit' recommended this businessman's name to the royal list.
and u guys need to know what this man's business is: a sub-contractor, meaning, he is minting millions ripping off local nepali sojha-sajha by acting as a middleman between the main contractor and the nepali workforce. what was once possible for the nepalis to approach the main contractor to work for higher salaries has been made impossible by these corrupt man, paying them only half the amount and pocketing the difference. thereafter, the nepalis in hong kong have seen a huge decline in their earnings.
if such people get the blessings of the royals, then one can only roll up his eyes in dismay and ask, what next?

if you really want to know the answers to your questions, then ask pandey or another fna-er. it's not as if he violated the first amendment. of course, i'm assuming that at least one of you actually wants to know more about fna.
your point about discerning between b-nosers and intellectuals (same difference, often) is well-taken, as there are many of the former in this forum.
fna is probably just another personality-driven nepali ngo (i.e, a vanity group set up to further the founders and hand-picked buddies). once you get past all the purported mission, vision, purpose, goals, and objectives, these orgs often turn out to be little more than tax shelters and cliques that don't do a heck of a lot.

I did some research and found out who is Dr. Kamal Raj Pandey. Dr. Pandey is also a board member of Alliance ( http://www.chakrapath.com/alliance.htm ) in Human Rights in Nepal. I am in the same board, but I have never met him. You know how busy we get. I was puzzled by FNA because I had never heard of that organization. Apparently, Dr. Pandey is active person involved in two different organizations.
Anyway, Congratulations! for his invitation by King of Nepal.
