I came to know about him just about few weeks back when i was browsing google video to find out what all nepali videos they have and to my surprise and little dismay, which later turned out to be a sad matter of utter discomfort and disbelief, all i could see are his home-made videos trying or attempting to preach people primarily about his "madhesi agenda". must admit, he has raised some valid and perfectly legitimiate points about suppression of minorities in nepal. there is no question about it. if at all, maoists revolution has been able to stand up to the expectation of few, it is due to this chronic suppression of dalits, janajatis, women and madhise, which nepal have been suffering by for centuries. i, for one, fully agree with him on those grounds. BUT, somewhere down the line, he, himself being madhesi, has failed to assort the sentiments of all nepalese communities. in general, in raising his voice for madhesi rights. most of his talks give me the impression of a voice of a self-righteous person who is clever at throwing his tantrums and trying to fool people by clamiing it to be a legitimate voice. you cannot be an extremist yourself to fight against extremism. madhesi rights have to be taken care of but not at the cost of pahadi rights. it's as simple as that. you can stir the agitation as much as you like, but in the long run it's only gonna bring your and your communities' downfall if, in the process of claiming your own rights, you fail to respect the rights of other communities. jai nepal!
