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

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.
