hello, I find discussion in Sajha thought-provoking. The discussion on caste system debate is important considering the current situation in Nepal. I just want to follow up on that debate and tie it in to the Maoist insurgency. - DO you think the one of the forces behind the emergenc of the insurgency was the 'prevalent caste system' and ethnic disaparities and discrimination ?? I would really appreciate any comments, thoughts and feedbacks. I am hoping to incorporate Nepali voice into a paper regarding this crucial issue in our lives. thanks, Astitwa
