If you guys find it hard to see all the posts so far, I have my post here again. Just read the quotes-they are block quotes from Bhagat. t is true that "Madhesi" people have been exploited by some who are both "pahadis" as well as "madhesis" themselves. However, the way this guy presents himself is ridiculous. He lives in NY and blogs in English to the world while the people he is supposedly fighting for are languishing in abject poverty back in Nepal. They don't know how to read and write, let alone use the computer. So, who is this guy trying to help? Himself or the "Madhesi" people? This response was written with reference to one of the articles entitled "aire gaire natthu khaire pahadis" in one of the blogs by Parmendra.I am just going to paste whatever I had written to him. This not only includes political issues but also personal issues. So, bear with them all. I used to side with your arguments a while ago but from what you have displayed lately, my ignorance as to a real Bhagat has been evident. I am not denying the fact that some folks in Terai are being exploited by other people but that does not warrant your attitude. Given the current socio-political scenario, I disagree this is the time to fight over all issues. I agree freedom is important but that does not mean absolute equality. Opportunities should not be made exclusive but if some "pahadis is your word but I hate to use it" grab those opportune moments while "madhesis-your word again but I hate to use it" lay back, it is upto them. Let them choose what they want to do. Let everyone have the equal opportunities to choose from. No discrimination based on origin and or caste is preferable. Again, I am not denying the exploitation but you have been largely selfish and self-centered out here. How are those folks in deep ignorance in the rural Terai region going to understand the hi-fi attitude of a New Yorker? And how is this guy from NY going to relieve them of supression? Barking from NY does not make sense specially when the community you are fighting for is largely uneducated. If you dare work for them, go back to Nepal. Go to every freaking village and raise awareness. Work with local government or the central one. If they don't listen to you, go into a freaking election. Get elected by "your majority" and fight it. These options are not there right now but soon will be there. And it has been long since you started this issue. So, your real motivation is in suspect. Admit that you are selfish and all you want is publicity. Let me provide some evidences as to how you are acting irrational and insane recently. "This is a Pahadi Raja. That is why he needs to be shown the door. A Madhesi could be president." -Whoever it is, we are against the very ideology of kingship. It is against the democratic norms. A madhesi could be president but we have no regrets over pahadi becoming one. You are a freaking racist(if i may bring pahadis and madhesis as being two different races). To support my argument that you are racist, here is another…from the same article: " Gagan Thapa might be a republican, but he is a Pahadi republican." What the hell are you talking about? You deserve the ridicule you received for you are acting insane here. We should be able to respect every person. That is how we are going to co-exist. If someone is good, we should respect him no matter whether he is a pahadi or madhesi. "If there are five central figures in this revolution worldwide, I am one of them. Madhav Nepal acknowledges that, and he is the person who is going to be the first president of Nepal. He might say I am one, and he is another. But I am being generous, I am saying five.I routinely interact with Pahadi activist amateurs who are part timers, who probably can't spell the word politics correctly. But I have written a whole full-fledged constitution for the country. I am second to none in this revolution in the message department, be it in Nepal or India or Europe, America, Australia, Hong Kong, Arabia." Hey man! wake up. Nobody cares how Madhav Nepal thinks of you. And your sense of "I" is the symbol of your dying battery. Try to be humble and that will earn you some respect. "But the thing about the rally on Friday is at that point in time I also was doing well in the organization department. I am the founding president of Hamro Nepal which has been hailed in the blogosphere as the "world's first dital democracy organization." But Pahadi media has still to pick it up." I am in USA and still it took me so long to hear about your hamro nepal. So, don't freaking blame pahadi media. I respect every person with right attitude. You are simply not the one. "My personal life does not depend on any Pahadi. My career neither. As for Hamro Nepal, I get reminded of the Subhash Chandra Bose line, tum mujhe khoon do, main tumhe ajadi doonga. The Pahadi nobodies in America need me to attain political dignity. When you go grocery shopping, you don't do the grocery store a favor." -Remember you are fighting for those folks in terai who are largely dependent on pahadi folks. So, they need each other despite your freaking stubborn nature. Life is not as easy as writing in a blog. And remember that you got education in BNKS where you shaped yourself to this extent with the help of all of your friends. You don't need them does not mean you never got help from them. ( I am not talking about the other way round). Sometime in life, you must have gained benefit from one of the pahadis, if you deny that you are insane. Admit the freaking truth. Who wrote your recommendations? Who taught you? How much did they get for teaching? How much did you pay? Government money includes those contributed by pahadis too. So stop your freaking nonsense. My only request is try to be humble and it will gain you some respect. And please respect everyone. You cannot gain respect from pahadis if you do not respect them. And gaining respect from all is crucial if you want to help those folks who are facing a tough life. I know this piece has become more of a personal response to Bhagat's ideas. However, given so much interest in different blogs regarding madhesi issue, I have pasted this here. What do you people feel about this? source: http://dreamnepal.wordpress.com
