President of Nepal - A Madhesi!

Let me make it clear that I belong to the Madheshi community of Nepal. I am originally from Janakpur but the way I was raised I can be neutral on these issues coz the main thing is how Nepal as a whole can be benefitted.

Before coming to this issue of president, it's true that they feel being second class citizens of Nepal. Part of the reason has been the system, the narrow minded politicians, and lack of ideas. BUT THE MADHESI'S ARE EQUALLY AT FAULT. BEFORE BLAMING THE SYSTEM, THERE IS A LOT THEY CAN DO FOR THEMSELVES. It is exactly similar to Nepal as a whole when for every problem we end up blaming VIDESHI SHAKTI while ignoring to look within ourselves.

Terai has acres of arable land, easy line of access and communication, a huge potential nevertheless. Then why they r lagging behind ? Coz they had the politicians who never cared. They had elected officials who kept engaged in petty issues like separate state, separate nation, etc. They lacked vision, and idea and above all will.  True, the national govt. needs to do a lot but before that MADHESI'S NEED TO A LOT FOR THEMSELVES BEFORE BLAMING THE GOVT. JUST AS WE  NEPALESE AS A WHOLE NEED TO LOOK WITHIN OURSELVES BEFORE BLAMING OTHERS.

As far I am  concerned, It makes no difference to me who is the president. All I care is he/she must be a patriotic honest NEPALI , which caste, which community, I don't care.
