Besides the dalits ( I won't count madhesis because majority of them are 'naturalized citizens'), name one ethic group that has been discriminated against. I belong to the so called 'upper caste.' My father grew up in a hills of midwestern Nepal in a town where half the population was Bahun Chettris and Newars (Shresthas and Tuladhars) and the other half was Gurungs and Magars. The Gurungs and Magars were clearly the wealthier of the two because they had family members working in the Indian and British army for the past three generations. The upper caste on the other hand had to make ends meet toiling in the fields and other odd jobs.

Fast forward 20 years and Bahuns Chettris and Newars from the same village hold lucrative, technical jobs at home and across the world while the max the janajatis ( a very few of them ) could do was to join the British Army. Since the quotas have decreased and the competition is more cut-throat than ever, most of them don't go past the first round of selections.

The only reason for this is that while the upper caste, although modest in means excelled in the classroom while the Janajatis with all their pounds and IC couldn't get past the 8th grade.

Padne bela ma guccha khelna ra jaad khadai masta ra aile aera Adhikaar magdai hidne? Typical American kale mentality...

Yo jatiya rajya magne haru sabai asikshit khate haru hun. Federalism is an outdated model, no one understands that...

Only 26 countries in the world are federal and the ones that went for ethnic federalism eventually disintegrated..
