Rana Tharu ni beauty taken during one of my trip to Terai.
World has witnessed over a year Nepal Terai's marginalized ethnic and indigenous people's movement for the federal government system to secure their right to self-governance for their different indigenous nationalities, Indian origin Hindu ethnic group known as "Madhesi" and "Dalits" by restructuring the Nepal's unitary state.
Basically, the current unitary system has failed big-time in everyway, which was established under the autocratic feudal Hindu system that was first enforced in late sixteenth century by the Hindu rulers who had fled northern India to escape Muslim rule of Moguls.
Prior to this Hindu dominated period Nepal was composed of multi-states of multi-ethnic, multi-culture and multi-religion predominantly as indigenous societies. These elements still exist in the contemporary Nepal except for people of different ethnicities to run their states with the right to self-governance such as under the federal government system.
The indigenous nationalities of Terai existed since Neolithic period are composed of diverse communities of culture and linguistic identified as Tharus and Rajbansis of northern delta of Ganges of South Asia. Whereas Madhesi Hindu ethnic group of Terai Nepal as Pahadis of Hills' Hindu ethnic group are the Caucasians of Indo-Aryan race, which had migrated in the northern region of South Asia in 5th century BCE with the diverse Vedic ethnicity, culture and Sanskrit linguistic group that evolved with diverse regional dialects by intermingling with the idioms of native aborigines. The examples of such dialects are Bhojpuri, Maithali and Avadhi.
As a result, the populations of native aboriginal "Adhibasi" with their ethnicity, culture and linguistic from entire delta of Ganges of northern India have been marginalized if not wiped out by the new migrations of Caucasians of Indo-Aryan race that migrated through the corridors of ancient Persia to the delta of Ganges. It is Nepal in 21st century in entire South Asia where native aborigines have survived with their diverse ethnicity, culture and linguistic as indigenous nationalities and it has become international communities' responsibility to save their ethnic identity in the socio-political and economic development of a new democratic Nepal.
Nepal's native indigenous nationalities which existed since Neolithic era are still living in their communities with their diverse ethnicity, culture and linguistic and among them the most predominant groups are Kirat, Magar, Tharus and Rajbansi.
Even though the modern official language is Nepali, which evolved from "Khasboli" of Khas ethnic group known as product of X-chromosome of indigenous and Y-chromosome of Caucasians that migrated through north western corridors of Himalayan foothills of modern Kashmir and Afghanistan to Nepal during the agricultural revolutionary era of Neolithic period.
