I just started this thread to get ya'lls input....

what do guys think about the Madhesi ppl demanding their own state? Last couple a months, ppl have been bashing madhesis all over for their strike and uprising..... But seeriously, cmon guys, wot would you habe done if somebody had treated you like you did not belong in Nepal, mistreated you for ages, calling  you all kinda names and stuffs.

Identity crisis as a lotta ppl have put it..... and the uprising was inevitable, if u ask me... i knew that it would happen, was just waiting when....We mistreat them, think they are indians, while they know they are Nepali.

No matter all these, i did not support their demand for their secular state, that was a lil extreme, but we were the ones who were fueling all the anger. With great dismay, i was also one of the ppl who used to mistreat our Nepali brothers from Terai, but that was due to my immmaturity and partly ignorance, i must say... My sincere apology to all my Nepali brothers from Terai who use sajha; the guy who mistreated you couple of years back might easily have been me.

But, the Govt have already reached an agreement with Madhesi ppl, but why did they start the whole thing the first place.... They just want to be treated equally, and it is not the Govt who can solve this problem, it is us people, who need to be aware and realise that they are Nepali too. As long as we dont change and start treating them like a part of us, the Terai strike will come back, you can mark my words on that...

Lemme hear wot ya'll have to say.....
