- Hamro Nepal is a digital organization.
- Hamro Nepal is a global organization. It is not a diaspora organization. We have quite a few members from Nepal.
- The number one thing I have done as President of Hamro Nepal is the work I have done through my blog Democracy For Nepal. I am the only Nepali in the diaspora to have put full time work towards the April 2006 revolution and the two Madhesi movements. My work was always transparent, and it remains archived for anyone to see. I was not engaged in journalism. I was doing hard core political work. I was suggesting political moves and strategies.
- Digital, political, global.

There are people who treat their involvement with the various diaspora organizations as second careers. I am not one of them. The ANTA, NAC, NRN structure means a lot to them. They put much effort into climbing up the various organizational ladders. I have zero interest in that.
I don't have to do what you wish to do. Hamro Nepal is the only vehicle I have needed so far for the hard core political work I have put into the April 2006 revolution, and the two Madhesi revolutions. Compared to the Nepalis under dictatorship, and the Madhesis under Pahadi dominion in Nepal, the diaspora Nepalis are an asleep bunch. There is little consciousness and effort to try and attain equality in their host countries. And for someone like me who feels strongly about immigration rights, the larger national political landscape in America is of greater interest than Nepali diaspora politics.

ANTA should attempt symbiosis instead of keep sending me little feelers to join ANTA. I can't be part of the ANTA, NAC, NRN framework, that is why I can not join ANTA. That does not mean I do not wish it all the best.
