You are right. Tharus were the aboriginal of terai as they were resistant to malaria because of Sickel cell anaemia in their blood. Even most of rajbansis are bengali or bangladeshi immigrants. Very few are real rajbansis in Jhapa and Morang. Because of similarity in physiognomy, nowadays bangladeshi immigrants call themselves a Rajbansi. Initial population of madhes was brought from adjoinig Bihar and UP as farmworkers by Jamindars (few madhesis and few pahades) in terai.
