I didn't find any insanity in Manjushree Thapa's post. Let's admit that most of janjatis are frustrated, and non-janjatis are also insecure about janjatis hijacking all the opportunities. These are the ground reality. On top of that there are crooks like Prachanda who want to cash by creating chaos.

Yes, the brightest should be given the opportunity. Non-janjatis always give the examples of janjatis dominating in the fields like foreign services, business houses, etc. Do you think that state (government/ministers/politicans...) plays a role in these recruitments?

There was no reservation system until few years, and according to you, only the brightest were getting the jobs in government services. Then how come our government people are the least qualified and most incompetent? Have you looked how qualified majority of government administrators are? Let's not even go to the territory of corruption/nepotism etc. Corrupted politicians are the first to be blamed for most of our problems, and the government administrators are the second ones. They're incompetent and least qualified. I may be totally wrong but if you look at the qualifications of most of government administrators, many of them passed their degrees with third-divisions. I emphasize on government administrators, not the ones working in the technical fields. People working in the technical fields in government are brighter than these administrators, and the system (written or non-written) discriminates against the technical fields. In administration service, I don't need to tell which race are the majorities (~90%); but if you look at technical fields, I doubt if one race dominates as much as 90%.

Let's not be color blind. Let's admit we have problems, and let's stop accusing each other. Asking for the rights of janjatis won't disintegrate our nation. Let's admit our system, how fairly it is written, discriminated some races. The pity is that maoists are leading the movements and using janjatis as tactic to reach their goals. The issue of janjatis are very sensitive issue, and it can kill all of us as we are seeing in this thread and posts in facebook. In that sense, maoists have succeeded, and all of us, both janjatis and non-janjatis have falled into their trap, perhaps because of our own blindness.

I restate that ethnic states are not the solutions.
