I am from Madesh too and completely agree with some of the views presented by terai_basi and others. Madeshy had been opressed and had been treated as second class citizens in their own country in several affair of life. They were treated unfairly by individualrs, administrations, governments and others in some issues such as citizenship, recruitment in army and police and some section of electronic media but if you look a wider range of affair I do not believe they were treated any different than other Nepal. A madeshy has not been deprived of any civil service, for further studing, individuals from Madesy community has taken post of VC in different universities, there has been many secretaries and chief secretary from madeshy community. Many doctors, engineers and diplomats representing our country has been from Madeshy community. Thus, I believe the propoganda created in the name of Madesy republich has a hidden intentions and is against the peace and stablity in the country. I will not out rightly blame India in this regard because that will be a very easy choice and it seems we have a fashion to blame everything on India and Palace when something do not go according to our plan. I believe these few individuals who have started this issue have nothing to do with India nor Madesh freedom but are after cheap publicity and get some easy power at the center. If the website designer of http://freemadhesh.atspace.com/ was truely in favour of Madeshy empowerment he would have designed the web in Maithili or Bhojpur but not in Hindi. The content of the website seems so cheap and without any logic. When most of the industries in Nepal are held by Madeshy community and are in Madesh, how could he say madeshy are unemployed. Does that write know the fact that people from Rukum, Rolpa, Jajarkot and Salyan, who are from Pahadi community, goes to Delhi and as far as Goa to earn money to feed their family and he is complaining about pahadi stealing their job. Common dude, give me a break. Please consider the fact before you speak. I believe, Madesh community needs a revolution in itself not against Nepal nation. That community still has dowry system where a bride is killed for insufficient dowry. That community still has a system of not educating their daughters just because they will go to other house after getting married. Nepal nation has not done any systematic discrimination against you and the cases of individual discrimination will happen anywhere in the world. Even among Pahadi community individual of one caste is discriminated against others and same happens in Madesy community too. You can' t blame on the country for that. Yes, I believe, country should do more to solve the citizenship issues, individuals from Madeshy community should be given more opportunities in police and army. But these are minor issues which can be solved by being within the system. You don't have to raise weapons for such issues dude. Jai Nepal.
