The blogger holds the same view expressed here towards all, the Madhesis, Pahadis, so-called Janajatis, etc…whatever ‘label’ they like to be recognized with. This post’s focus on the Madhesis is merely a co-incidence. The entire humanity is corrupt. The whole world is grey.
The forging of the three Madhesi parties to make an alliance would certainly force the government to take their demands seriously.
It’d be equally easier for the government to address their collective demands once & for all.
Besides, the armed outfits too would get an opportunity to transform themselves by joining the peaceful agitation, or finally prove themselves to be no more than communal/criminal gangs.
Seems like the Norwegian PM’s unofficial mediation is working.
However, every movement should be used to transform all sections of the society.
For this, the Madhesi leaders needs to make adequate representation of women & dalits in their parties & programs.
The attitude of the Madhesi culture toward women in evident in the fact that even the Maoists could not include them in the ‘people’s war’ despite their claims of being forerunner of women’s liberation in Nepal.
Ask any Madhesi woman/or dalit & they’ll tell you that they’ve been twice marginalized - first by their own community/households, and then by the state.
And the Madhesis who were swayed by ethnic cleansing ‘Quit Madhes’ rhetoric and allowed the scapegoat criminal gangs to root themselves in the Terai are now reaping poisionous fruits themselves.
The day is not far way when the Madhesis themselves would demand with the government to cleanse those elements from their society.

Dear Divas Jii,
What is wrong in “attitude of the Madhesi culture toward women”?
Women are given high importance in madhesi society. Renu Chaudhury, Sarita Giri, or Chitralekh are few name you might be hearing quiteoften. There are many such names in other field also. The Madhesi as a society itself is in doom, thats why the number appears so minimal.
By pushing women into war, human is not doing justice to their compassionate, motherly, sensible, caring, feminine, and etc nature.
There are other better responsibilities that madhesi women are ready to take up.
And why do you think that Dalits are not on the forefront of madhesi
anadolan?
Thanks & Regards,

Sir,
Thanx fr ur prompt response.
just like they say that only “Khas Men Bramhins’ r everywere in the State, i see that only people with certain cast tag like Yadavs, Jhas, Thakurs, & Mishras r in the Madhesi leadership from the “State Parties” to those against it.
If I’m wrong, biased, or misinformed, plz help me understand.
And I think many women, including those u’ve mentioned, with present day educational values would find it hard to agree that they should be denied of those aspects of human life which imparts courage & confidence into their personality.
With sincere regards,
DIVAS

Dear Divas Jii,
Please try to findout about Mahato, Chadhury, Paswan, Goit, and also
prepare list of Madhesi Martyrs, and then compare, who all are
represented in the movement.
Your statement about madhesi women is global ( with no end and no
start). Specify with examples. At least, one of the madhesi part is
lead by women, please show similar example from other party.
Thanks & Regards,
Ram Manohar
DIVAS:

dear everyone,
i am a beginner in political field
what ever is said may be true and i don’t want to discuss on that topic since i am not that familiar with the issue….. but just wanna express a little concern on the issue going on in terai.
here the aandolan so called is now turning like a communual fight. nepal as a country is not of a people from a single community neither nepal is formed from a single caste.
people are driving away the pahadis from terai, is that what right they are searching. are they searching final terai as of the people who are the groups from terai only? Isolated terai from outside world is what they want?
Their objective as per my guess is for right…… but killing the people of other community is never in their objective. They are fighting for right but killing any people is not accepted as a human right wordwide…..
so frens…… i am a beginner and my points may not be that relevant and may seem harsh…. but please clear my doubts…. all response are invited and.
thanking u all.
DIVAS
Thanx Rajesh for your concern for humanity. Let’s hope politicians/leaders from top to bottom realize this.
