Blog site is back and I just read it. So here goes. The current inequality between pahadis and madhesis in Nepal is an issue. Size of it is a matter of personal perception. Dalits will consider their issues bigger and women will consider womens rights more important. . . u get the idea Bhagat says: There is a need for a revolution within a revolution. Democracy will not be enough. So a movement to establish democracy is not enough. There is need for more. agree - need a movement that insures equality, not just liberty. He is right about the royal army being a pahadi army, maoist army being a pahadi army, though i'd say predominantly pahadi. and not just the police and army, madhesis are under-represented in a lot of other areas. the numbers speak for themselves Lets talk Judiciary Chief Justice & Supreme Court Justices - Pahadi - 18, Madhesi - 2 Chief Justices of Appeal Court - Pahadi - 10, Madhesi - 2 Judges of Appeal Court - Pahadi - 64, Madhesi - 9 Judges of District Court - Pahadi - 123, Madhesi - 8 First Class Officers in juducial services - Pahadi - 18, Madhesi - 0 Source : HMG (2001), Nyay Parishad Bulletin, Nyay Parishad Secretariat How about politics Central Committee members Nepali Congress - Pahadi - 35, Madhesi - 3 CPN UML - Pahadi - 65, Madhesi - 4 NC(D) - Pahadi - 25, Madhesi - 5 Jan Morcha - Pahadi - 43, Madhesi 01 as of Jan. 2006. count them Madhesi members of parliament as of 1999 - 20% how about media? Management committees of press council, radio nepal, gorkhapatra, NTVm RSS -- 6% madhesis dont have the numbers of police, armed police, army and maoist but u get the idea. he is not alone in asking for equality. the person who said the fracture is already there is correct. Sonner we seal this gap, better for Nepal. as for his crying about his beloved sadbhavana leaders: sadbhavana leaders didnt make the news because they r insignificant. they are tainted, fragmented and have crazy agendas. they dont represent the madhesis. as someone said earlier, most madhesi votes go to UML and NC(P,D) Bhagat says: If there are five central figures in this revolution worldwide, I am one of them If there is one idiot in this world, it is also him someone ought to remind him what the old books say about kama, krodha , lobha, moha, mada, matsarya, mamata and abhimaan. Hey Bhagat hope u r reading this.
