for the ignorant ones in this thread, the word you wanna use is MADHESI which means people from MADHES which comes from the old sanskrit word Madhya Desh. The word MADHISE, MARSYA etc are incorrect and derogatory versions of the word MADHESI used mostly by Pahadis (with little or no education). So learn and try to use the correct and educated and tolerant word atleast. Or do you prefer that we call all sherpas and sherpa looking people BHOTE (assuming they are from Bhot - Tibet) and all Newars NITROGEN or TIN TIN MATTITEL (making fun of the accent) ???? I didnt think so. So once again lets all Nepalis refer to each other with some god damn respect. As far as Paramendra Bhagat is concerned, he does seem to go overboard at times. But as someone with a brain, I take away what seems right to me and reject what seems like BS. Can't we all do that? Not a single message in this thread saying what they agree with and what they disagree with. I was gonna be the first but the blog site is down :-) Will post again after I read what he has to say this time.
