i think the last thing Nepal needs right now is another racial equality movement.. I mean i understand that there are racial issues in nepal but should that be the first priority at this time? I am not saying equality issues should not be raised but it's just not the right time to do that when nation's democracy at stake. Instead of instigating racial conflcts, it wud be a lot better if everybody just stuck together as Nepali n' not bahun, chettri or madeshi, dalit whatever else it there. I think that's one problem with nepalese, our democracy was premature and instead of trying to reform, ppl started pointing fingers and changing the entire system.. as for paramendra bhagat, he seems qualified i dont' know what his true motives are but he does make a point! at least we can agree on that..
