Madhesh Movement is Against Racial Attitude

Madheshi leaders and party cadres are saying that this movement is against state, but that is only partly true because this movement can't be solved by the government only. We have found almost no big parties serious about it yet because they don't even dare to talk about demarcation of states including two Madhesh states. Rather, they have their own interest against Madheshi people. That's why they are still trying to avoid or defame or utilize the ongoing madhesh movement for their benefit.
              A strong back force of the present government is a group of ultra nationalists who support K.P. Oli-led government against Madheshis because their mind is filled with the opinion that all the madheshis are Indians whereas  all the area of Madhesh is Nepal. Let me ask simple question - who were the people living in the Bhuddha's and Janak's Kingdom? Weren't they the native Madheshis? How can any sensible person deny the native people from their nation?  These anti-madheshi, ultra nationalists believe that many Indians immigrated to Madhesh, they calculate the percentage of the growth of population in last hundred or fifty years of Madhesh exaggerating such a way as if no madheshi gave birth to any child. And count them all as immigrants. These ultra nationalists don't know that many of the immigrants were also necessity of Nepal that time. Because many of them were educated too, so they worked here and in long run they lived in Nepal legally. And even if they stayed illegally then the khas-gorkhali should be held responsible for this because they have been driving the nation holding high posts and positions to enjoy the power to give citizenship to them. And not only this, even larger number of population of pahadi people immigrated from north hill to terai which they never mention to what some madheshi politicians and scholars say internal colonisation and encroachment.
           Those ultra nationalists have ill intentions and ill motives to drive madheshi natives to India. The general concept of these people is that those who speak Nepali with Hindi accent or only speak Maithali, Bhojpuri, Abadhi etc are Indians, so they should be misbehaved, insulted and made fun of with some stereotype names like Bhaiya, Dhoti, etc. How long should Madheshis suffer social, political discrimination and psychological torture in Nepal? Here, not only poor, uneducated villagers of Madhesh are misbehaved but also educated and high class Madheshi officers are suffering same pain of insults and misbehavior directly or indirectly which either they avoid as if they haven't heard or they hide to divulge for the sake of their prestige and dignity of their position. In recent days our ex-president and ex vice-president have directly or indirectly divulged their plight to which no big media or government gave any serious attention either. Because they both are Madheshis and this can't be coincidental. As we know some poor Indians esp. from Bihar have also been working in Kathmandu. But, is that the proper reason to insult them? Are there not hundreds of thousand Nepali working in India as well?
       Many Khas-Gorkhali politicians and ultra nationalists have a paranoia that a lot of Indians will enter in Nepal and try to get Nepali citizenship. But thinking it logically will make you feel pity on intellectual bankruptcy of those ultra nationalists. In India almost all the goods are far cheaper than in Nepal; fuel and even motorbikes, cars and other vehicles are far cheaper. And the salary that Indian job holders get is almost twice as much or even more than that in Nepal. And not only this but also value of Indian currency is higher in Nepal ie. Rs.100/- IC ( Indian Currency) is equal to Rs. 160/- NC (Nepali Currency.) Then why would Indian citizen try to be Nepali?
                 Though few other cases are also there, Once I asked a vendor who runs a small business on a cart of four cycle wheels who sells chana chatpati, paanipuri etc. He told me that he is from Motihari, Bihar. He is here because Delhi or Mumbai is too far from his home in comparison of Kathmandu and he needs to go home frequently in gap of only few months. So living in Kathmandu is easier for them. But does it prove that they want to be Nepali citizen and even if some want, what is wrong if they go lawfully? And Why don't you compare the number of Nepali Citizen to legally become Indian Citizen?
     These ultra nationalists are extremely poor in logic if you ask why only people of certain hilly castes esp. Gorkhali - Khas Brahmin/kshetri should be Nepali. They will perhaps say that they are descendants of Valiant Gorkhali. But the big question is that- Is the nation property of only these Khas- Gorkhali? Or should all Nepali call themselves to be Gorkhali? And the apparently clear answer is -NO. As new term has come to the ground is that Nepal is a multinational country. Except Madheshi people many other groups of people in Nepal are in illusion that they are descendants of so called valiant Gorkhali. I was shocked once, when I heard some madheshi students calling themselves descendants of valiant Gorkhali in a stage program in one of the schools I taught in terai. It must be Nepali or social teacher of that school who might have either written in the script of that mini drama or they might have misguided the students in classroom because they are Pahadi Brahmins. Those non-Gorkhali who adopted their identity as Gorkhali are comparatively in better position in Nepal than Madheshi people. But if you go to deeper level you will find that only Kathmandu was called Nepal earlier, so on that basis only Newars of  Kathmandu are Nepali. The Khas - Gorkhali adopted Nepali identity later but ironically they marginalised same Newars who not only lost their state but also identity.
      They are pseudo nationalists because they try to show their love towards the nation while a true nationalist doesn't even try to show but they really love their country unlike exhibitionists do. They use foreigner products. They watch Hindi and English movies, they sing Hindi and English songs. They watch hindi serials. They start their days with hindi prayers of God, even they brush with indian products and with same mouth they ungratefully abuse India. Once they won a football game against India and shouted a slogan " We won dhoti" which didn't let Madheshi  share the happiness rather hurt them. If we can't unite and keep on upsetting a whole race then how can we be united like true nationalists?
              The infamous term in Kathmandu "manu makhu marsya kha" (meaning - not a human but madheshi) by newars is the representative attitude of most of the  Pahadi community as observed in Nepal. And this is a proof that suggest to what extent Madheshis were misbehaved and insulted. How can they be called civilized who have this much hatred towards a certain race? Why not to call them racist who doesn't accept existence of other than their own?
         I take these movements to be against attitudes of anti-madheshi sentiment. This anti madheshi sentiment is the basic reason to push madheshi to be attracted towards making separate Madhesh Nation. But still many so-called pseudonationalists are not ready to accept and correct their attitudes and behavior rather they are forcing madheshis to stop movement and accept their regressive constitution and reversely blaming them of hatching conspiracy of secession.
           Madhesh issue seems to be used as a strong means or ladder for Deuwa and Prachanda to be Prime ministers. But they can't be 100% trusted either, because their parties had equally participated in drafting this regressive constitution. Immense pressure should be put on his government because ultimately any government must solve this issue.
                  It looks like some so-called top leaders anyhow try to be prime minister in Nepal only to get their name enlisted in the record of history and probably to get life long facilities and security for future from Nepal government turn by turn. And not only this but also Nepalese politicians make agreement in advance for the post of prime minister. They are never serious towards nation let alone Madhesh.
           If there was award systems for worst prime minister like in Bollywood which awards the worst movie of the year. KP Oli would have certainly won this award; perhaps because he is the biggest incapable prime minister in the history of Nepal. He only tries to distribute dreams in frivolous manner like - to fit the pipeline of LPG gas in each kitchen of Nepal, to produce electricity from air, to facilitate Kathmandu with modern train which has pointed face, to buy ship and use in Pacific ocean etc are the most expensive dreams distributed so cheaply. He is trying to ignore Madhesh Movement and misguide public.
          Madheshis have got deep wound in their heart which seems to have damaged the proximity and understanding between Madheshi and Pahadi that is when people of Hilll and Mountain are in trouble because of earthquake, Madheshis are trying to help them by all means but when Madheshis were being shot in head and heart with bullets in Madhesh movement they were celebrating Dipawali in the name of successful promulgation of the regressive constitution.
             It seems that these so-called nationalists have still illusion that they are omnipotent and omniscient but they don't know that it takes no time for a wound to be cancer if it is not  cured at right time. What I mean is if they keep on ignoring and betraying Madhesh then there is high risk of secession of Madhesh. So, correct your attitude and behavior. Face it. Try to solve it. If you are not going to compromise how can you expect protesters to compromise?

Equality in mockery

This is right time, I think, we can talk about Equality in Mockery. In context of Nepal, Madheshis have been being mocked for long time in Nepali media and in Nepali society. The mainstream nepali native speakers easily make fun of Madheshis in terms of Nepali accent and they enjoy bursting, big, forceful laughter and some madheshis also show artificial laughter concealing their inner shame since they have been also mocked and have been made fun of many times esp. in pahadi society. Laughter by madheshis is a psychological attempt to prove that they are educated ones and they can speak better Nepali in comparison to illiterate Madheshis. 

            But till now no madhesh based media has ever dared to mock Nepali speaking people  in terms of Bhojpuri, Maithali, Awadhi, Hindi  or on the base of other Madheshi language accents, why? Is it because Madheshi people don't dare or is it because most of the medias are sponsored by Nepali people, and not Madheshi. ( Nowadays I feel pain to call myself Nepali because whenever I said I was easily rejected by Nepali people, though all of them didn't directly oppose me but they used "hami nepali tapai (if slightly respected) madheshi" ie.-we nepali you Madheshi, most of the time they call "timi" ie.disrespectful "you" regardless of the seniority of Madheshi in age specially when the Madheshi is in Junior post or uneducated or illiterate. One of my best friends, a Newar girl, trying not to hurt me, calls me "hami nepali ra timiharuko jaat" ie.we nepali and your race).
            The positive thing now I found in Madheshi medias is that they are at least trying to write freely and favoring Madhesh unlike the Nepali medias who are writing and speaking apparently against Madhesh. The impact of the mockery of Madheshi is so deep that they feel humiliated and many of them have lost self esteem. As a result they try to follow or imitate Nepali accent every time even with their friends and family to such an extent that they have almost forgotten their mother tongue. This is the clear evidence of their psychology that they feel shame to speak their mother tongue.
           Some Nepali people may find my logic offensive but I am sure if they think honestly they will find it logical. If they (Nepali Medias) were not meant to offend madheshi then at least original Madheshi should have been given chance to play those roles of mocking madheshi accent. This is a bitter irony that many Nepali actors achieved high respect in Nepal and became very famous TV and movie stars just because of the mockery of Madheshi language accent. But almost no Madheshi is found famous in Nepal as an actor. And it is simply because Nepalis never gave a sentimental proximity to Madheshis.

            It is perhaps practices of all over the world. In Indian Cinema some people play as mocking Englishmen, Nepali, Punjabi, Gujarati or even Chinese or Japanese people etc. In Nepali movies also the Nepali actors, as a revenge... perhaps, make fun of Madheshi. Earlier I thought big and rich people or Country only can do this against weak and small but I was wrong because India is not richer and stronger than China or Japan and England but may be it is equal in power nowadays. One may argue that it is only limited in certain locality not in international market. So OK, no problem, let madheshis do it in Madhesh based media only, can you? I solemnly believe that this would make madheshi realize big freedom.
               I am called "black sir" or "Madhishe" in my school in Kathmandu by an innocent three class newar girl. Some times she calls me "Babaa" ie."Dad" as well, in response to my address to her as "chhori" ie.”daughter". Other students of class five also try to call me black but I usually don't mind because many of the newar students are far blacker than I am. But when students of class eight call me "dhoti" I am badly infuriated.  Now the question is who taught the three class girl to call me Madhise or how did the eight class students dare to call me "dhoti"? Did their parents teach no manner? How many Madheshi students mock Nepali teachers in Madhesh? My clear answer is -Not even a single student. But now I guess Madheshi students may do it in future as a revenge and as an impact of Madheshi Movement.

        To compete with Nepali, Madheshi must be guaranteed equality in mockery too.
           A few Madhesis and almost all Nepali ask why Madheshi don't call themselves Nepali. The answer is above because of no respect, no equality, no opportunity but only mockery etc. They never provided a clean practical environment which would let Madheshi feel Nepali. Nor is it possible for a conscious Madheshi because here, certain races from Darjeeling to Bhutan are accepted as Nepali but original Madheshis are not accepted as Nepali. How can a Bhutanese or Indian from Darjeeling or Sikkim etc places despite having their Indian or Bhutanese Citizenship be Nepali? It clearly proves Nepali is racism not nationalism. Or it is ethnicity ot nationality.
       About 15/16 years ago I showed my copy to Nepali teacher /madam in nine class in my copy that was one copied style from BP Koirala. I had written  "I found myself doing something...." The teacher said my language was poor. Then I guessed she had not read that type of language in Nepali because it is English diction. But she could say that because she was a teacher and in the other hand she was native speaker of Nepali. I have found many times some Pahadi people speaking wrong Nepali which  is nothing for them but when a Madheshi commits a mistake s/he  becomes subject of redicule ( I myself became many times). Once one of my landlords tried to teach me that human feet are called "Goda" not "Khutta" that I had used but even after that I found many native speakers of Nepali use "Khutta". I only understood they tried to correct me for nothing useful only to humiliate me. Once in class in Tribhuvan University in MA our a so-called scholar used "Dhoti" word which reflects the mentality of Some Nepali scholars. And the Madheshi students did little to oppose it.

    It seems mockery to Madheshi from Nepali is almost impossible to stop but we can start mockery to Pahadi to balance like the weighing machine to make each other feel all are equal.

       Even in Madhesh, Madheshis are made fun of in terms of Nepali accents not in only media but in your face in society they can ridicule you and you have to laugh out of shame. But reversely you are not expected to speak and mock them for their bad Maithali, Bhojpuri , Awadhi, Hindi etc. The day Madheshi will start to mock them back that day Madheshi will come out with inferior complexity and would live happily.

Hindi in Nepal

Hindi has become a big controversial issue for decades among so-called Nepali nationalist. One of my best teachers in my life was a person from Upadhyay Brahmin he often used to speak Hindi and predicted that Hindi would soon be the second largest spoken language in the world. We witnessed Dr.Baburam Bhattarai speaking Hindi when he addressed agitators in Janakpur. Not only this, I have heard Girija Prasad Koirala speaking Hindi informally with some Madheshi leaders in Chandranigahpur when Manisha Koirala had also gone door to door asking for vote for her father Prakash Koirala in south and mid Rautahat 1999 AD . I heard many Congress leaders speaking Hindi in that period of time. And the biggest example is KP Oli whom the world heard and witnessed speaking Hindi in media. Similarly Prachanda spoke Hindi in response of an Indian report's questions in English in an interview just after he became Prime minister second time. 

      We know many Nepali scholars have got better knowledge in Banaras India and they definitely have learnt and used it. Some Nepali poets like Bhupi Sherchan wrote some poems in Hindi and became proud to hear his admiration from Indian and Nepali fellow students that time  but when the matter of Hindi as an official language comes into ground in Madhesh why does it irk the self declared Nepali Nationalists? 

    It is reported that even Laxmi Prasad Devkota had made a physical attack on one of the then scholars and Hindi supporter high profile from Dixit family for advocating to declare Hindi a national language in Nepal.

 Using Nepali or declaration of Nepali as national language of Nepal is one thing but unnecessary obstruction of the use of Hindi in Nepal is a part of hatred politics issue. 

Terai/Madhesh has different history. And Madhesh shares almost all north Indian cultures, costumes, rituals, lanuage, caste, religion and sentiments. Madhesh still recognises India as our dearer than Kathmandu and other part of Nepal because of its proximity to India and Indian culture and marital bonds across border too. Even after Madhesh was given to Nepal by British colonial government in 1816 and in 1860 A.D. Madheshi people used Hindi language as a lingua franca or as Link language in Madhesh till now. But there have been many conspiracies against hindi in Nepal especially after the then King Mahendra. When he imposed one language Nepali and one costume Daura- Suruwal and Dhaka Topi as Nepali National recognition. 

    But it is very difficult to claim that they don't like Hindi because even in Kathmandu the native Newars and other Kathmanduists try to speak somehow Hindi. They mostly use it either with vendors of vegetable or with other uneducated Madheshi and Bihari persons. In this case Hindi has become lingua franka between Pahad and Madesh as well. The Kathmanduists mostly watch Hindi movies, Hindi tele-serials, and they often listen to Hindi songs. Once I was surprised to see two pahadi people practicing Hindi proudly in Kathmandu in bus. And the whole world knows that Gorkha armies in India serves proudly.

            Sometimes it makes me feel that they feel jealous finding Madheshis have better Hindi accent than these nationalists and that's why they try to oppose Hindi. In eastern Madhesh mostly maithali is spoken, in mid-Terai Bhojpuri and in West Awadhi, Thaaru and other languages are spoken and they can't understand each others' language every time so easily. In this case Hindi has become our Lingua Franka. But here, the so-called nationalists try to impose Nepali as lingua franka but majority of old madheshi- tharu and madheshi- tharu women do not understand Nepali so still they find Hindi more feasible than Nepali. Some people directly oppose Hindi but some other of them pretending to be too generous, say, "why don't you use your mother tongue like Maithali, Bhojpuri, Awadhi etc rather than using Hindi as Lingua Franka."  They start reasoning that Hindi is mother tongue of less than 1% of Nepali people. And my question to them is -what is the percentage of native speaker of English then? Despite that English is compulsory in Nepali Academia.  First Vice President had to face big controversy and harsh trouble only because of swearing oath in Hindi. 

            In Nepal the Madheshis are targeted in the name of Indians. They also blame Madheshi for supporting Indians but Madheshis don't take them to be different any more. Lots of relationship lie across the border. Madeshi people have better relationship with north Indians than that of Nepali nor did the Nepali people create an environment which can securely make Madheshi feel as own people. And nor do they still want. We have been living in a known country but like alien for more than 200 years. 

           The general concept of Nepali people is that those who speak Nepali with Hindi accent should be misbehaved, insulted and made fun of with some stereotype name like Bhaiya, Dhoti, Bhele, Chana tatpati, Forum etc. So the question is how long should Madheshis suffer social, political, psychological discrimination in Nepal. As we know some poor Indians esp. from Bihar have also been working in Kathmandu. But what is the matter to insult them either? Are not millions of Nepali working in India? Nepali politicians have a paranoia that a lot of Indians will enter in Nepal and try to get Nepali citizenship. But thinking it logically may make you feel pity on intellectual bankruptcy of Nepali politicians. In India almost all the goods are cheaper than in Nepal, fuel and even cars and other vehicles are far cheaper. The salary that Indian job holders get is also twice as much or even more than in Nepal and not only this but also value of Indian currency is higher in Nepal ie. Rs.100/- IC ( Indian Currency) is Rs. 160/- NC (Nepali Currency). Now tell me why would Indian citizen try to be Nepali? Once I asked a vendor who runs a small business on four cycle wheeler cart who sells chana chatpati, paanipuri etc. He replied that he is from Motihari, Bihar he is here because Delhi, and Mumbai is too far away from his home in comparison to Kathmandu and he needs to go home frequently in gap of ) few months. In Kathmandu in these business there is high number of Motihari people. But does it prove that they want to be Nepali citizen and even if some want, what is wrong if they go lawfully? Why don't you compare the number of Nepali Citizen to officially become Indian Citizen with them? 

     These types of discriminations have caused many youngsters in Madhesh to think about secession and these types of thoughts are natural. This is root cause of emergence of CK Raut. All the so called nationalists are running against Dr. CK Raut unjudicial way. Some raise voice for keeping him behind bars others opine to punish badly while some other pseudonationalists advocate to hang or kill him. But no single nationalist says to ignore him and concentrate on equality among all Nepali people which will end the discrimination among all Nepalese. If every person will get equal rights and opportunities why would they follow CK Raut? And I bet CK Raut would no more advocate secession either. But if this doesn't happen then the State will be responsible for that as we know there is rule of nature too which science names Newton's third law of motion that says "every action has equal and opposite reaction". 

 Nepali language is in the eighth schedule in constitution of India but this so-called new born Republican country is still suffering from superstition. If it can't tolerate Hindi then why even English be taught as compulsory subjects? India has declared English as an official language and there is nothing like in Nepal there. 

     Once Nepal won a football game against India and all so-called nationalists started singing slogan that they won Dhoti. Nepali nationalism is to criticize India without any reason. And thus they try to prove their nationality as if they have greatly contributed for nation. Even if Nepal doesn't declare Hindi official language of Madhesh it still will take form and shape as water that takes shape according to the shape of tub. 

   So my humble suggestion to those nationalist public and politicians is that let Madheshi feel that you respect their sentiment, culture, custom, costume, language etc.,  you behave well, let them believe you honestly, the proximity to you will be even in your favour, many madheshis hate Indian policy and behavior upon Madhesh, thus they don't like Indian politics on Nepal either so think well. But don't try to harm their relationship with India on public level which you have already witnessed what counter effect it makes.

Your Constitution

In process of drafting Constitution
You kill our people only because
We wanted equal rights
You weave conspiracy
And kill your own police
And you blame us reversely
You neither listen to us
nor do your great media help us
The media still call themselves free
And not only this
Your people write satiric poem
about the massacre
Only blaming us
You are fully prepared to defame
our movement

The would be supreme man in your group, is constantly watching on most powerful chair
And compares our martyr
to few mangos falling from tree
Earlier he called these millions of participants in movement a handful of eight - ten people.

Your poor Human Right Activists are suffering from scarcity of humanity,
Or bankruptcy of humanity
They are now The Ethnic Right Activists
They look with one eye so see one side
Your media focus on unproved fact that protestors killed the policemen and a two year's child of a police
We are sad for that
But tell me, how many protests are uninfluenced by dionysianism in the history of the world?

Don't take us insensitive we are more conscious than you are
Your Ethnic Right Activists turned blind, deaf and dumb when policemen targeted heart and head of the protesters
Is it according to international law?

But here I salute your sense of equality you treated women's heart and children's head with same bullet How do you justify this State Organised Terrorism?
Are these children different than the former one?

But the bravest thing your DSP did, He urinated on the corpse of a martyr
Your DSP really deserves prizes and promotion......
So detestable......so hateful.....your acts are

Only to be prime minister
your Supreme Man is doing these.....
At last, congratulation for promulgating your racist constitution today.
You are going to celebrate Dipawali just after playing Holi with blood of Madheshi people.......

About Grammar

If you think that grammar is an exact science, get ready for a shock . Grammar is a science, all right- but it is most inexact. There are no inflexible laws, no absolutely hard and fast rules, no unchanging principles. Correctness varies with the times and depends much more on geography, on social class, and on collective human caprice than on the restrictions found in the textbooks.
    Grammar follows the speech habits of the majority of educated people - not the other way around. That is the important point to keep in mind.

The Kathmanu Post didn't Publish it

My comment to The Kathmandu Post was not published. They did not even publish with any edit. Below is what I had written...

A Letter to Kanak Mani Dixit

Dear Sir,

Reading your article "Federalism and Tarai-Madhes" published at 18 July in The Kathmandu Post and in The Hindustan Times a few days back, I want to have my words. Politics often deceives public. And Madheshis were being victimized till now from centuries but we are not able to accept your proposal anymore. Dixit sir, you must be double of my age and might have been 100 times more experienced and have ocean of knowledge than I have but I can't believe on everything you expressed. Thank you Dixit sir for this Golden dream  you distributed to us. It  is really a golden dream that Madheshi can have access to agriculture, jungle, factories of Terai; tourism, hydro power of Hill and herbs, fruits of Mountain. But many of the Madheshis who don't have even  citizenship card, who are deprived of access to even their own natural right on agriculture can never digest these golden dreams. How to believe that Madheshi can have equal right on hill while Madhesh herself is being ruled by non- Madheshi?

Now about  election, Madheshi people voted Congress and CPN UML Communist  not because they liked them but because they disliked Maoist and Madheshi politicians in terms of their ignorance towards Madhesh agenda and their unification. We know that public become sentimental very easily in these cases out of anger and this is general psychology of mass. Should I remind you how Baban Singh of Rautahat won the election and disappeared now or how Arbind Kejriwal in Delhi won and became Chief Minister of Delhi and the same person almost vanished from Benaras trying to stand against Modi in national level election. In election we don't have a "right to reject" or "non of above" option so it becomes a compulsion to vote so we chose one whom we dislike least rather than to one whom we like the most because latter types of candidates are rarely found.

It smells a conspiracy again, who knows in the name of economic geography -based federalism it may cause us to lose access to our own natural resources which is unfortunately the present truth for Madhesh. Who does not know in the name of Madheshi quota how many Pahadi people were appointed in different sector in job after great Madhesh Andolan? One Madhesh Pradesh was not the demand of Madheshi politicians in beginning but it was the main agenda of Madhesh Movement in which  more than 50 Madheshi Public lost their lives and became martyrs. There were no Madheshi leaders to lead it and this autonomous movement should not lose its dignity. And to secure its dignity we strongly demand One Madhesh Single State and I reject the logic that Single Madhesh State is ethnicity based, in fact it is geography based which is made up of many castes and creed. Hadn't we been already practicing Terai, Pahad and Himal classified as parts of Nepal?

Sir, you have said that CA member of  NC and UML moan fatalistically, "The pressure for  Madhesh based federalism  is too strong, we have no choice" then what is the hindrance? If the Madheshi politicians are demanding the same things what other parties want to give, then why late? Why the last election took place? Because the UML and NC are those who don't want one Madhesh, here you are saying exactly opposite of what is reality.

So far as the matter of Tharus and Muslims are concerned that they are not Madheshi, I would like to say they are also Madheshi because Madheshi is not ethnicity it is about the sons and daughters of this part of the earth. My questions with some Pahadi leaders are that what miracle made them to be such  benevolents of Tharu and Muslims overnight especially at a time when Madhesh Andolan is at its final stage? Where were they when we were sharing Tharus and Muslims sorrows and happiness? Now they try to be messiah in the eyes of Tharu and Muslims. Divide and rule have become old and useless, I suggest them to come with new strategy, new conspiracy what they are habituated to.

At last thank you again for such a benevolent of Madhesh and Madheshi.
