First of all, I am really disappointed that Subject bro deleted some of our posts as per Nepte bro's request. We spend time to write these post and if you go on deleting these posts, we are just wasting our time. There were lot of good arguments posted before by Bathroom Coffee bro and Nepe bro.

"It is truly sad to see Nepal being divided into Madhes and Nepal. "

Happyface bro, that statement, if I may, is wrong. Last year, Nepal's parliament altered the constitution to change the country from a unitary state into a federal one. The amendment was passed overwhelmingly, by 278 votes to five. I think you misunderstood that Nepal is now divided into "Madhesh" and Hilly region only. That's not true. There will be other federal states as well, not only "Madhesh". (I oppose the idea of declaring the whole of Terai belt as a single state though).  Nepal is being restructured into a federation. This only means delineation of administrative boundaries of Nepal and should not be misunderstood with the disintegration of nationality. The division of administrative boundary  is an attempt to devise decentralization mechanism of centralized power structure. The unitary and centralized administrative system practiced so far has only helped to consolidate power in handful of elite groups. Regional autonomy and national integrity is not a contradicting concept but if we misinterprete the concepts we could easily fall into the hands of opportunist political entrepreneurs like the Royals in the name of blind nationalism which could easily lead us into sectarian violence.

Switzerland like Nepal is one of the smallest and multi-cultural and multi-lingual countries is a good example of federal system of government. Swiss system with autonomous, regional, and communal government is a successful example of similar federation system which is going to be implemented in Nepal.

"I wonder what these Madhesi leaders would do if someone comes with huge sum of money to buy their mothers!"

You are just beginning to wonder about the "Madhesi" leaders.  I know for a fact, without any shadow of doubts, that our "Pahade" leaders have already sold their mothers with a huge sum of money to Indians.

And why no body seems to have any patriotic issues with the current Bihari Prime Minister of Nepal, your own Girija Prasad Koirala who was born in Tadi, Saharsha district, in Bihar, India in 1925 !!!!
