Jobs1, well said!
I do not blame agitating people from Madhesh for their desire to earn respect and equality for a change. I also do not blame the reaction towards these actions that we commonly see from general public. It is definitely easy for us to judge based on the superficial violence and all the chaos that is going on around in Nepal and come to a conclusion that what is happening is a wrongdoing or 'bad'. After all, even our ability to use the internet and spend a few minutes or hours in Sajha attests to the fact that we are relatively privileged. In that sense we are all coming from some level of bias. But just for a second if we force ourselves to fit in the shoes of those who have been denied rights for quite a long time, who work all day in the farms of other people yet fail to put a sano roti ko tukra in the plate for their little children, whose voices and requests to the govt go astray, comman, that's gotta be a freakin' frustrating experience. Even thinking about it boils my blood. If I am actually experiencing this in a day to day basis and if someone offers me a hope, man, you can bet on it - I will worship that person to death! But again, politics is a dirty game, which has become quite a cliche in the context of Nepal. So, people craving for hope can be more easily manipulated. But again, the next chapter of revolution and change can arise from there, should the people feel the need, just like the way they had acknowledge the need for change in the start.
So, what the hell did I just bark about?
Plain and simple put it your way - things are more complex in the inside than they appear from the outside.


But... Ktm_bis's point is also well taken. We certainly don't want to see Nepal face the ethnic war, which will be more devastating. The hatred and pain that has developed over the course of time has finally funneled through Terai 'revolution' and has the potential of becoming ever more violent, should the government fail to come to a compromise. All we (esp those in the US) can do  is be part of an audience of this crazy film of politics and hope the heroes improvise the story to bring a positive ending. Because, I certainly don't want to spend any more money on tissue paper!
