Madesis consider they are close to India: India is a vast land. Every single Nepali are associated with Inida. Rai/Limbu have brotherhood in Indian state of Bangal. Madhesi have brotherhood with Bihar and UP. Pahadi people shares same language with the people of Uttaranchal. Do you know Kali river divides Nepali दार्चुला from Inidan धर्चुला? People who lives in Kasmir/Rajstan/Gujrat/Himanchal/Andrapradesh/Punjab are genetically close to Brahmin and Ksahtris of Nepal. Tamang/Sherpa/Guruing all Tibetian family are related to the people of Sikkim/Kashmir/Arunanchal/Himanchal. Most of the Newars are Lichhivi and they were from Baishali, Bihar, today's Mujjaffar Inida. We all are equally related to India...and we all should be proud of it. India is a great Nation. ..I found very warm welcome from Indians and I have Indians as best friends...We all have family back their in India...the only difference is Madheshis relative lives closer....Only narrow minded fools think Madheshi are more closer to India then others. I like to play with languages, If I analyze Nepali, I can definitely say it is nothing but a mixture of Gujrati, Punjavi and Rajasthani. ....If you track the Y chromosomes, you will find it is equally distributed everywhere in India and Nepal despite Tarai/Pahad/Himal. I have very few best friends in USA, one of them is Madeshi. We talk almost every week, where as I hardly talk once or twice in a year with my other friends. ... I am solitude lover :). He is thousands of miles away from me but he is closer to my heart then my closest relatives and my other Pahadi friends who live few meters away from me...if heart clicks you don't discriminate people...we need bigger hearts to accommodate our diversity. Those are extremist who wants to divide country by region and culture. Scholars like you should demoralize these extremists. Next I will write real issue of Madhesh:
