An audio recording of the the presentation I made at UWC-USA during my April-May 2014 visit to the US. It covers the plight of marginalized groups such as Dalits, women, Tharus and Tamangs both in the country and abroad, and what COMMITTED is doing about it all.
A reproduction of an article in the Grinnell College student publication Scarlet and Black.
A plea on behalf of my journalist friend Pete Pattisson to vote, online, for his video for a Webby Award. Having worked with him on some of his stories on the plight of Nepalese migrant labourers, here's why it's important recognize his work!
Your birth as anything (class, caste, race, nationality etc.) or with any trait (skin color etc.) considered to be a characteristic of an inferior human being is not shameful. YOU HAD NO CHOICE IN THAT!
It's those that view and interpret that as such and make you suffer for it who are shameful: THEY HAVE A CHOICE IN THEIR VIEW OF, THEIR ATTITUDE TOWARDS AND THEIR TREATMENT OF YOU!
I was fulfilling a long held dream when I first went to Grinnell College in 1990 as a student. This upcoming visit however I am honored to be making!
