NaakPore bro, I am not Paramendra, but yeah, I am among one of those Paramendras who are about to emerge or have already emerged from the madhesh. Just becoz we have had enough of this racial discrimination. Seriously, in the coming days, they are gonna be millions of Paramendras from madshesh if you guys keep continuing to treat madheshis in the same way. Well...the thing is what has been done can't be undone, so I just wanna say, now is the right time to act for the benefits of all the people of Nepal including madheshis, please change your attitude towards madheshis coz they are not Indians, they are part of our society and our country. I joined this forum just yesterday but have gone through many threads already on this forum and when I started this thread I was quite mad and pissed about this forum, thinking what the heck we have racism in Nepal but it's so sprouting here on this forum too, but reading at some of the replies above made me feel a lot better. I really urge those people, who think like me that this problem so exists in our society, to take some actions like make some organization which would act for eradicating these problems from our society from root level ( I really haven't heard any specific organization working just for racial discrimination in Nepal). I have had so many tragedies in life just becoz I was born in a madheshi family in Nepal. If I'd share those tragedies I have had and my family had with you guys, you would seriously understand what a curse it is to be a madheshi in Nepal. Here are few stories which happened to me and my family. One evening my dad (Saroj Yadav, of course I have changed the name) came from work, btw he's a vegetable seller, goes to weekly or bikweekly bazaars (hat bazaar ke, you know, we have it in the villages and small cities in terai) 7 days a week. He came home around 8 pm and had left for the "hat" with his vegetable on his bicycle around 6 am. He was just putting the bike in our front, then our neighbour's 3 sons came, and started asking money from him and of course he said he worked all day really hard for those money he had in his pocket. They threatened him, and he started shouting then my brother and I went there to help him and those pahadi guys( 3 sons from one of our neighbors) started to hit my dad and of course we couldn't ourselves we also started hitting those guys. Did I mention, tho I have lived in madhesh, in my tol or galli we were the only madheshis and we always took care of our business not intruding in other pahadi people's lives. But most of the villagers are of course madheshis. Yeah, so when my bro and I started hitting those 3 pahadi guys, all the people in our tol or galli stood up for them just coz they were pahadis. It's not going to stop here. In fact all the pahadis in my tol came out and started beating us up. One guy came with a khukhuri and was literally tried to cut my dad's head off, he succeeded partially. My bro and I were beaten up really badly´by around 40 pahadis, I was 15 and my bro was 18 then. After this, all those people went inside my home, looted us completely. We all were admitted to the hospital.We all survived. And the most interesting part was nothing happened to all those pople who did this to us. Police seriosly didnt do anything. And of course this was just one of the tragedies my family and I have had. Hope now you guys understand, why I have started this thread and what I mean and want you guys to do. ---Peace-
