Sharadji. Namaskar.

We are some of the leading voices for democracy among the NYC diaspora. There is going to be a major protest rally here on September 16.

But our goal is to make a productive contribution to the democratic cause in Nepal, something that the current governemnt also has voiced time and again. How could we both profess the same goal and still be so far apart in our methods?

I think if you could arrange for us to meet the king when he is in NYC, there would be opportunities to explore a possible meeting ground.

Speaking just for me, I think there are two choices for the country:

Or this:

I have made some of the strongest criticism of the democratic experiment of the 1990s for its deficiencies. And for the political parties I have this:

I think the problem in the 1990s was too little not too much democracy.

I think dialogue might allow us all to make a departure from the past and create a new mutual future. We could all start afresh. A full fledged democracy could really unleash Nepal's economic potential. Both China and India are taking off:

Nepal should not be left behind. This is to be the Asian Century.

So please arrange a meeting.

Thank you.
