People blessed with "Madheshi" when they land in the unjust land of
Nepal, the pain of being Madheshi reminds me the pre-slavery abolition
stage of United States. Caste system - the excuse of chaos and
divisional hatred bond created by our society never fails to prevail
anywhere. What if the degree of this deepness is exercised heavily?
Countries, especially in the third world, are lagging behind because
of their own creation. Why a Pahade cannot stand with Madheshi and
vice-versa - the lack of one can be filled by another's presence, why
we don't move to make the nation prosperous. A garbage cleaner -
referred as "Khali Sisi and Purano Kagaz" - in my opinion, works well
in cleaning society, leaving all the bars created. Diverse environment
leads better production. Why not let Nationalism prevail. I often
wonder, is this situation a geographic division or a hatred of caste
and culture. Why not Yadav, Goit, Bhagat, and so forth be the ethnic
societies of Nepal. Will including them leave pahade unemployed or
they can lead the race. This twenty first century race does not stay
in the boundaries. It should cross the borders and say "We Nepalese
are here to compete this world; we no longer would be the third
world". If Madheshis are kicked out, who will collect khali sisi and
purano kagaz. Madheshis, along with all have the same capabilities.
Many pahades are employed by the Madhehis and not to mention all the
industrial giants are from Madhesh. Major industries provide Nepal
government major income. Will it be better if Madhesis are excluded.
Why are pahades unwilling to embrace Madheshis and others. Madheshis
are no minority; they have equal population as Pahade do. If a garbage
cleaner can clean the society, why not you all educated ones? It is
said, no work is smaller or bigger, why garbage cleaner is made fun?
Are pahades jealous of the achievements, I expect not. Then why are
Madhehis not Nepalese? Every citizen has the right to fight for
Nartion and so does Madheshi. Pahades dominate madheshi and often they
are center of fun. Who will sell vegetables? Does it make a pahades
happy? I remain unanswered. Madhehsis could do same with pajade in
Terai. Do they? Nepal - the second most poor country in the world, is
not poor because of the 90% illiterates; it is because we 10% educated
ones do not want our country to champion. War has never been a
solution, but in Nepal, recent devastation has made a history. Of
course, people will follow the successful trends, that's human nature.
The brave sons of Gurkhas forgot the saying of Unifier Shah. Gurkhas
had not shot to fame by killing their own brother, rather the enemies.
A true Gurkha should never forget that. I am not comparing Nepal with
developed countries, but needless to say, Nepal - as a very small
country can excel overnight, if left in best hands. Will this
discrimination lead Nepal to a better shape? I doubt.
