As someone who abhors credit-seeking in general, I was embarrassed to read the caption under the photo in "Emergency relief for free kamaiyas" (#2). As one of the managers of the kamaiya dharna site, I invited and introduced several speakers. I did not make any speech myself. Dilli B. Chaudhary, convenor of the Kamaiya Mukti Andolan Parichalan Samiti, had asked Martin Chautari to manage the dharna in Kathmandu a few days before the kamaiyas arrived in the capital,.
it was in only in this way that we were able to contribute to the kamaiyas\' search for freedom. My own participation came as a member of the Chautari team.
