Always enjoyed your posts in this issue! Being a Medhesi Newar for several generations (five generaions during the past 125 years in Madhesh), I definitely agree with your assessment on this subject! I might add two more budding polical stars, Jai Krishna Goit from Madhesh Mukti Morcha and Jwala singh (actual name Nagendra Paswan) from a similar group. Goit is also from Ydav clan. Paswan, as I was told, is from Dushad caste (used to be untouchable!). So I think you are right when you say this on going uprising is basically from disadvantaged/neglected/backward Madhesis! I like to add that as a Madhesh resident, I was hurt to see Pahadis blaming Madhesis for Hritik roshan scandal. I did not undersand what our Medhesis had to do with the whole Hritik scandal. For several days, I could not look into the eyes of our Madhesis friends with straight face. Although they did not say anyhing, I could read their eyes as if they are asking me what they have to do with this whole mess? Of course, they must have looked into my guilty eyes and got the answer: "I am sorry!"
