I got this from some chitwane friends of mine who are already tired of seein maps that says Chitwan is part of Madhesh. (Chitwan's population is more than 90% pahadiyas, less than 1% Madhesis and about 5-10% Tharus?) ----------- We in Chitwan produce more than 60% of nation's poultry, third largest amount of milk, we have nation's top draw national park, 200 top quality hotels, two airport, several medical schools, hospitals and Devighat. We are also 'heart' of nation's transport. But all our money goes to central govt. Our people living in Madi still live in medieval era. Be a person from Madi, and you feel how badly ignored you are. It is like 'batti muni adhyaaro'. Even Maoists killed 39 of our people and maimed so many, but they walk freely. Govt hasn't done anything to our 39 dead, even as it gives millions to others. Furthermore, due to these bandas, our tourism industry is destroyed. We have welcomed every community from the country in Chitwan, and what have we got in return? We are tired of bandas. If Chitwan is free state, we can lure other industries to chitwan by promisin no racial state, no ethnic tension, no bandhs, and highly civilized society. We are more than 95% Pahades here, but we are being considered a part of Madhesh for the next 'federalism set up'. We don't want to be part of any state that has ethnicity attached to it. We are non-ethnic truly cosmopolitan state and will be so. Chitwan will not be a state where ethincity will be more important. We are most civilized people. We will live together. We will have our free court, free schools and we will help our poors in our own way. Leave us alone. We have enough resources. We are not part of Madhesh, and we are not part of any other 'desh' than Nepal. None of our money comes back to our district. If only our taxes came back, we would have underground train by now running from Narayanghat to Rampur, Madi, Lothar, Tandi and Mugling.We are being looted. We need justice. Our own people are poor and it is time that we be able to spend our all money right here. This is what we all want. We will soon be as rich as Cyprus. Sincerely FREE CHITWAN MOVEMENT
