The rebellious Aswikrit Jamat (the Rejectionists) were numbered with 16 writers. They were: Kavitaram Shrestha, Nepal Bhushan Neupane, Shailendra Sakar, Puskar Lohani, Bhau Panthi, Saket Bihari Thakur, Prakash Premi, Anjir Pradhan, Kanakdwip BaAa, Jagat Ranjan, Mohan Singh Thapa, Prem Narayan Premi, Indra Rajbhandari, Navin Prakash Jung Shah, Bishnulal Shrestha and Kashinath Tamot. Later, the number of rebels was not increased as the group perceived that the rebel had to be at their writings but not with their name itself. Besides, one could reveal his/her unity through any forms of radical campaign. (Kavitaram Shrestha, Mera Aswikrit Manyataharu and http://aswikrit.com/index.php?linkId=362)
