Any political agenda based on caste is bad regardless of which caste it is in favour of... You don't have to go beyond sajha pages to see how extremism is taking roots in our society and country at large and how people are falling into the traps of selfish agendas fueled by castes.

Every caste has the right to protect their culutre and traditions. In context of Nepal, I can see a lot of people claim they are the "indigenous people of Nepal" and to be perfectly honest, isolating the Bahuns and Chhetris of the country. My simple question to them is how Bahuns and Chhetris are not the indigenous people of Nepal. Why would they be a less of a Nepali than anyone else? Why would a poor Bahun/Chhetri not deserve a similar previleges as a poor from any other caste? If everyone in the damn coutnry in indigenous, then what is the point of bringing up the aboriginality of the people? Obviously, these terms have identifiable meanting in the context of new countries like the US, Canada, Australia, NZ etc. but it has no place in a country like our with such ancient history and cultural diversity. I can see a lot of educated fools everywhere including this forum who are jati first and Nepali only after that. Before anyone jumps into conclusions, I am not a Bahun or Chhetri. I am just a Nepali and do not wish to have it any other way...

Jaya Nepal...
