Friends,

Coming Friday's Pro-democracy Rally in NY is, in every sense, Diaspora's equivalent of "Citizen's Movement for Democracy and Peace" in Nepal.

What is "Citizen's Movement for Democracy and Peace" ?

It is people's saying, "Enough is enough".

It's saying, "Enough with King's insuppressible greed for power, enough with political parties' impotency, enough with Maoists' abuse of legitimate political cause to promote anachronistic ideology and violence, and enough with the freaking eternal quagmire they are in."

The most important of all, perhaps, it is also saying, "Enough with our own cynicism, apathy and passiveness".

Let's take initiative on our own to let ourselves, political powers and the whole world know what we want and how we want, once for all. Let's speak up. That's what "Citizen's movement for democracy and peace" is all about.

And damn. It's working. It's already showing its affects everywhere.

Common people, through their participation and display to the leaders, poets and artists kind of love and respect never seen before, and the movement, through it's determination to spread it throughout the country no matter what, has already established itself as an ad hoc political leadership until political parties reform enough to reclaim people's trust and thereby popular political leadership to the movement for Loktantra.

Let's show up at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza, NY on this Friday to let ourselves and the whole world know our longing for democracy and peace and to make a small but glorious history of how we took time to show our respect and solidarity to activists, professionals, poets, artists and common people rising Nepal ko basti basti baata, gaaun gaaun baata.

See you all who are close enough to make it to Dag Hammarskjold Plaza, NYC, 12:00 noon, Friday 16th September 2005.

Hand of a poet, who probably made a world history by making people loving to buy tickets to listen to his revolutionary poems in Kathmandu !

This is how a maobadi looks like.
You just have to look at the likes Freaks and his masters here in sajha.

I do not see anything in the HORIZON.
All I see are dreams of people with likes of NEPE building SAND CASTLES ON THE BEACH.
When asked what his protest is for .... We get silent treatment.
Frustrated-Sajhaits have resorted to name calling and rant and rave because of this.

Who is representing the REPULICAN movement ? NOBODY except for Nepe and his frens IN THE VIRTUAL WORLD(not REAL WORLD). THEREFORE this protest is nothing more than just a continuous series ASS TALK by NEPE AND HIS FRENS.

Just like the last Demonstration you will only get Oppertunists who are trying to cash in cause they lost their diplomatic status, cause they got fired,...etc etc '

No LEader in sight but just GUTLESS COWARDS TALKIN" TRASH IN THE VIRTUAL WWORLD(NOT REAL WORLD)

Can it come to you guys rally?
 

Please don't say 'No,'  how could you be so cruel?. 
Look at the cute face!

Freaksjee,

There is always load of nonsense in a forum like Sajha Kurakani. So the best advice would be - ignore them.

PSC,

All sensible slogans there. It's just a matter of priority for the occasion that has made most slogans directed to King's dictatorship and popular movement for democracy and peace in Nepal.

Nevertheless, here are my quick personal remarks to the issues you brought up.

>Protest against Indian intervention in internal affairs of Nepal.
>Protesting against RAW to stay away from Nepal affairs.

Certainly there are things we don't want India to meddle with, however fight for democracy is not the one. Fighting for democracy is not an 'internal affair' of any country in the world. It is an 'universal affair'. So I don't see India's refusal to support a dictator King in Nepal as an 'intervention'.

As for RAW, where is it ? In Indian Embassy ? I don't think we can get hold of RAW or CIA, CIS for that matter, and call for kicking them out. It's a matter of impossibility and is true for every country in the world.

>Protesting to block India to become Security Council member
>as they have been most hostile never to all South Asian nations.

Can not afford. Simply. Diplomacy and International Affairs 101.

>Protest against Bhutan to return their refugees from Nepal.

No problem.

>Protest against Maoist by demanding them to show their real
>commitment by lay down their weapons and join mainstream
>political movement. Maoist to stop expoliting in the name of Cease Fire.

100% with you. And I am sure there are going to be placards and speeches on the issue.

>Protest against all corrupt leaders to nationalize their properties.

Again 100% with you. And I can share this with you proudly that the organizers have given expression to that by accepting popular demand that political leaders, no matter how senior he/she is, be given no opportunity to be a guest speaker at the rally.

As for nationalizing the properties, the issue has become even more popular since voice for investigating rumor of 18 billion pounds is rising.

>Protest against politically motivated students organization to not to
>spoil the future of millions of student of Nepal.

I am 500% with you on the essence of this demand.

In fact, I have been mad with these freaking NSU, ANNFSU and other declared sister organizations of political parties for their politicking and corruption in the campuses throughout 12 years after 1990.

It was absolutely irresponsible to bring party politics in the campuses after the fight for democracy was over (presumably) in 1990. NSU, ANNFSU should have been decommissioned or depoliticized after 1990, because the political role of these organizations was not required after 1990. But we know what happened.

However, since October 2002 take over by the King, student Unions and organizations now have the same mission and role they had before 1990.

When the movement ends with success to establish democracy in Nepal, political role and affiliation of the student organization should end with that. That's my position.

>Protest against various international organizations, particularly
>human right organizations, not to make developing countries
>like Nepal a secure place to secure their jobs and dollars by
>exaggerating the reports.

At this time when the state and the rebel are abusing human rights in Nepal in unprecedented scale, I would welcome more activity of International Human right organizations. We don't have luxury of taking about possible mismanagement of these organizations at this point of time. Abuse of people should be the priority issue.

>Protest against those NRN who instead of doing something for
>Nepal just demanding more facilities and criticizing for the sake
>of doing so

Interestingly, I do have a similar but slightly more liberal view on this. I have been very vocal about related issue in various forums. Will share it some other time.

If that was not really simple, let's see your simpler version about the Maoists.

Antimonarqi,

See you tomorrow. काठमाण्डुकी एक चर्चित पर्तिस्थापन कलाकारको निर्देशनमा बनेको एक सडक नाटक पनि छ -यालीमा । एउटा पुरानो कलाकार त हुँ म, तर समयाभावले रिहर्सल गर्न नपुग्ने हुनाले एउटा सानितिनो भूमिकामा मलाई घुसाउ है भन्या छु । हेरम् ।

Shree5,

Nepe, Anti mon. and everyone who is participating in the rally,

Do not forget to take bunch of Photos of the rally and make sure you post them in the sajha. So we, who could not join can at least see the photos. Well, I live way too far to be in the NYC and I am very busy with family, study, work and stuffs but I manage my time to be in the sajha at least everyday few times a day.

Good luck to you all.

Nepe,

Work for the peace. Do not encourage terrorism. Still waiting on your explanation for feasibility of democratic republic. I mean how will you throw the king and the maoists @ same time???

नेपे जी

मेरो पनि पूर्ण ऐक्यबध्दता तपाईँहरुको यो यस कार्यक्रममा। त्यहाँ आएर घोँक्रो सुक्ने गरि
लोकतन्त्रको नारा घन्काउने साह्रै रहर थियो तर सकिएन। भलै सिमाना पारी बाट भौतिक
उपस्थिति जनाउन नसके पनि हाम्रो यो भावनात्मक उपस्थितिलाई स्विकार्नुस। यो राजतन्त्र
भनाउँदो खटिरो, न निको हुन्छ, न पाक्छ, खालि चिलाउछ मात्र। अब त अति भो। यो खटिरो
काटेर नफाले सम्म यसले न आरामले बस्न दिन्छ, न आरामले सुत्न दिन्छ। अब यसलाई
आँखा चिम्लेर सेरेर रछ्यानमा मिल्काउनु पर्छ।


तस्कर गिरोह मुर्दाबाद ! - मुर्दाबाद !! मुर्दाबाद !!!


लोकतन्त्र जिन्दाबाद ! - जिन्दाबाद !! जिन्दाबाद !!!

भउते,

कुन बेला तपाई आम्नुहोला भनेर कुरेर बस्या थिएँ । तपाईसंग एउटा कुरो माग्नु छ, -यालीको लागि ।

तपाईको यो गजल recite गर्न मन छ, औसर मिल्यो भने । अनुमति पाम । एकजना सिनियर नेतालाई भक्कुमार दिनु छ ।

मध्यान्हमै आँखा भुसुक्क नहोस
स्पष्ट होस काम खुसुक्क नहोस

क्रान्तिको ज्वाला अझ दन्किनु पर्छ
फुसको आगो झैँ फुसुक्क नहोस

आगनको विस्कुन अल्पत्रै छाडि
"ग्रीन सिग्नल" मै लुसुक्क नहोस

फुटे गोबर मिल्ला, जुटेमा राज्य
भाइ-भाइ बीच छुसुक्क नहोस

सम्झौतामा सधैँ धोका नै त हुन्छ
भागबन्डा गरि ठुसुक्क नहोस

अट्टहासले मरुन् बचे खुचेका
विजयको हासो मुसुक्क नहोस

डल्लीरेशम, वर्ल्डम्याप, सिरे,

शुभेच्छाको लागि धन्यवाद छ है ।

महाराजलाई संयुक्त राष्ट्रसंघको सभा हुँदी कसैले मानमनितो नदिने पक्का भएपछि मुख देखाएर बेईज्जत हुनु भन्दा मुख नदेखाएर बेईज्जत हुनु राम्रो सुझेर सवारी रद्ध गरिबक्सेको अनुमान छ ।

महाराज सवारी नहुने भनेपछि -यालीका उत्साहीहरुको किञ्चित उत्साह स्वभाविक रुपले कम भयो । परन्तु सवाल सन्देशको हो र खास गरेर नेपालमा आगो झै फैंलदै गईरहेको नागरिक समाजको आफ्नै पहलको लोकतन्त्रको स्पष्ट र दृढ उद्देश्य भएको आन्दोलनप्रति ऐक्यबद्धता देखाउने ट्याम यहि हो भनेर शुकबार काम गर्ने दिनै भएपनि बिदा लिएर -याली गरेरै छाड्ने निर्णय भयो ।

-यालीमा भाषण कम, कलात्मक प्रस्तुती ज्यादा गर्ने योजना बनेको छ भन्ने खबर छ । रिपोट गर्ने नै छु ।

Raybati,

As they say, if you are not a part of the solution, then you are a part of the problem.

Your blanket negativism is no better than the very thing you are negative about.

Look at the picture below. This was the first civic meeting in Kathmandu where 10-15,000 people brought political leaders not to listen to their bull shit but to tell them what bull shit they have been talking all this time. Civic leaders, artists and poets spat right on the face of political leaders by their criticism and satire on their kartoot and all that.

This kind of pressure has started to show it's effects. Political parties are changing. They have made tremendous progress on getting rid of their ambiguity about democracy. There are a lot of other thing they are fumbling. But if the civil society can keep the pressure on, it will surely hasten the process of party's reforms.

And NY rally is, as I said, Diaspora's equivalent of a rally of Citizen's movement in Nepal.

And you are totally negative about it. What's your suggestion for us to do better ?

Citizen's meeting at Baneswar August 5, 2005

हेर्ति, भउतेले त ओहोई ---क्यारेका हुन,

बडेमानका गुजुरगाना जत्रा अच्छेर ले चईनी सईनबोट जो टाँसेका ।

हो हो तेही हो, जसले पुनि आफैले आफैलाई सासन अर्नी हो, आर्काको सासन चईनी केरे मानिन्न ।

All the best

नेपे गुरु,

ती हरफहरुमा हजुरको पनि उत्तिकै अधिकार छ, मेरो "गजल-गुरु" को नाताले। यो हजुर कै प्रेरणा र पथप्रदर्शनको प्रतिफल हो।यो भिखारिको झुपडिको खोलेलाई अमृत नै सरह बनाउँछु भन्दा कसरी नाईँ भन्थेँ र।

आफ्नो अनुपस्थितिमा पनि मेरो छुद्र रचनाले त्यस बिशाल लोकतान्त्रिक जनसमूह बीच स्थान पायो भने त्यो मेरो लागि साह्रै हर्षको विषय हुने छ। हाम्रो मुरी मुरी शुभकामना तपाईँ अग्रज दाजुहरुलाई।

फेरि एक पल्ट,


मकरतन्त्र मुर्दाबाद ! - मुर्दाबाद !! मुर्दाबाद !!!


लोकतन्त्र जिन्दाबाद ! - जिन्दाबाद !! जिन्दाबाद !!!

Nepe ji,

Thanks for your comments on my comments.
I don't see any rationale behind this rally as it is planned to target on "byakti bisesh" rather than focussing on overall benefit of country. Tapain le je su kai lekhnu bhaye pani Raja lai gali garne bahek aru ke nai hola ra?
Nepal ma chahi yo bare ali bhadhi nai prachar prasar bhayeko chha - jasto ki "Nepal ko problem ko gahantalai dhyan ma rakhi UN le Main Gate mai ryali ra miking garne subidha diyeko chha" bhanera????
Your Views about India and other international organizations gives clear notion that how much you rely on others (foreigners) to solve our problems rather than finding the solution from our own capacity. It is like Kulchandra and Murariraj instigating Maoist (by saying that UN is willing to help - as if they are political decision maker of the UN) and making Nepali people confused about role of the UN/international community in Nepal's crisis.
My only suggestion to you is before you plan anything like this - there must be some purpose and it has to achievable from the practical point of view in the context of Nepal. Otherwise hey and cry in one corner of 47th and First Ave (I bet you will be allowed to protest in front of main gate as you all publicized in Nepal) will be meaningless.
