Thank you all for participating in this debate and giving it a life.

Nepali Hero  1, I understand your frustration and zeal but please refrain from badmouthing.

I have started this discussion to hear and read the different views, and therefore I respect all kinds of views posted here.

Let me clearify few things, I am here not to recruit anyone or convince anyone to join the group. The group is closed one with only a few of closely knitted people, most of them in Nepal in various profession( non-political) and few of us in the foriegn countries. The only thing that bounds us is the strong urge to do something to stop the "madhesikaran" of our country. Right now the group exist only as a think tank but we have a small yet effective resource to go ahead. Initially our goal is to create a kind of environment in Nepal where people can speak freely for Pro-pahadiya views , as they are doing with the pro-madhesh view. And secondly we will try to influence the constitution making in such a way to minimise the madhesi-effect as much as possible.  

Believe me or not the pro-madhesi power is very very powerful in Nepal and pro-pahadiyas views are still in the dark and silent.  When was the last time you have ever read any article concerning pro-pahadiyas views in the main stream nepali press. and you dont have to go far to find a lots of article by Prashant Jha and CK lal with the hidden threat , they are every where in Nepal and Nepali press. Imagine if there were few strong voices which could have insisted that either one of Prez and VP should be non-madhesi , then we probably would have VP who would not despise Nepali Language.

Pro-Pahadiya is a view and principle , and if the name is the only thing that is bothering you then give it another one. Pro-Pahadiya doesnot mean Anti-anything. Not anti madhesh nor Anti-India. It simply suggest that we will have our influence in the such a way to neutralise the pro-madhesh or pro-anything else.

Remember guys , Next few years will be very crucial in the history of our country and this is the time where we all should work to influence for what kind of country we want. Do something now so you dont have to go to discussion forums to shed your frustrations. In the next few years we are going to have a new constitution and its going to be a blue print for the nation building. Guys do what ever you can to influence this process , and that is what our group is going to do.

 Its easy to badmouth in the discussion forum where you are protected by anonymity. but its totally different thing to work for change.  I can see that most of you dont like VP taking oath in Hindi, Others dont like clothes of President, but  all these are minor things. If you dont like work to change the situation.

to be continued( and sorry for lots of  mistakes)
