Well ... I'm glad this post has ruffled quite a few feathers.

People in this blog like you and me understand its futile and not good to drag caste factor in.

But people in the gound dont understand this. And you and me arguing wont stop it.

I am not jealous of Bahuns nor do I have problem them dominating every sphere of life. What I have problem with is the coterie, nepotism culture that has been created and cultural genocide of rest communities that is all designed to unfairly maintain Bahunist superior status forever. 98% of jobs in govt, private sector, politics, education everything is dominated by minority bahuns. Sure they worked for it and deserve to be at the top. But creating unfair hurdles to bar others from progressing is unfair. Nepal is a mosaic of culture and languages, but look at our lok sewa, foreign affairs exams, its so damn sanskritised that its only designed to progress bahuns, majority Nepalese understand only simple Nepali - how will they stand a chance. Take a leaf from India - hindi can be equally sanskritised, but keeping the entire population in mind, although its official lang, its simple to understand, I can understand Hindi news easier than Nepali.

The point is - a minority community cannot decide the fate of majority comprising of many different castes, backgrounds. They have been doing it for years but not anymore. I hate this race war in Nepal but educated people like us discussing the virtues and vices will not change ground situation. Jatiya war is brewing - threatening disintegration of Nepal - Madhesi, Janjati, Dalit ... list goes on. You and me serving virtous sermons here wont change unless these few elites at the top let go and give everybody a role to play and decide their own future. I am a Janjati - and accuse me if you want but I didnt start this racist war or finger pointing - bahunists did - by starting a culture of exclusiveness, eliteness, cultural genocide, corruption and nepotism. Unless the power structure at the top dont change, this wont stop. Keep your head down and think hard for a moment before you accuse me.

Lastly, I strongly believe not all bahuns are bahunists, and bahuns have suffered equally in this war. I share that empathy with them. But surely a handful of Bahunists have been huddling up in baluwatar for past 18 months negotiating how to share power amongst themselves - while the entire country burns in ethnic war that will one day become bigger than Maoists war, if the CA fails to address this issue.

And the biggest proof of existence of Bahunist is - none of the political parties, leaders have a solid strategy, roadmap to solve this mess. Maoists want fully proportional representation not really to solve this mess but more to get power for themselves - I'm sure we all understand this. Else they wouldnt abandon this issue for the comforts of govt when they first joined interim govt.

And remember - this whole 10 yr Maoist war started not coz of monarchy, thats superficial. It started and was successful becoz marginalized were promised a stake. Thats where Maoist drew their power from.

Unless we dont change the structure at the top - my dear educated friends, this country will cease to exist soon. And blaming me wont change anything. If I were a bahun - I'd still say the same. If you still deny it - then you're living in denial.
