So far the meaning of Madhise and Phadiya, It all contains about the place of dwelling. Tarai is Madhes and dweller of Madhes is Madise. In Kathmandu, who ever dwell in Pahad they are called Parbate.

Now the sad part of this movement turned to racial and ganged against the origin of the race instead of dwelling.  I have on Jha colleague who is the resident of Bhaktapur, he claims he is Newar Brahmin. But jha in Tarai is Kayasta Brahman. So how you take it, His ancestor melt down with the system and became part of Newar family, actually his great great parents were from tarai. I met Sapkota who teaches Nepali in Saptari can not be recognized he is not a madhise, but he may be suffering from this movement because his cast is not Mahato, Jha and so forth.

History repeated badly , as many kings "nakabandi" to Kathmandu city to win it, so did the madhesi movement not letting go in the commodities and fuel to Kathmandu. Sorry to see these all happening one after another.
