Very interesting videos. I wish to learn more on the issue of Ethnic Federalism and ethnic demands. If there are more such videos and articles on the issue, please post them up. I think there should be a healty debate on this issue rather than us falling prey to fear-mongering by our politicians who are only trying to make political plays to ensure the survival of their own political careers..We may not realize it yet, but we are at an important crossroads as a nation and if these pressing issues are not settled and all these groups continue feeling cheated, we are heading towards a deadly conflict that could far surpass the Maoist civil war. 

@Daaku, that was an interesting video from the Madhesi perspective. The speaker (who I'm assuming is also a journalist) does bring up some interesting points. Although I can see some biasness in his speech, I also think most of his points are valid. I think we need to have a forum for all these experts (excluding politicians) from both sides of the spectrum to hold a debate in a respectable manner. We need to hold such debates to educate the masses and to stop all the fear mongering by the political parties who are only looking to exploit them. 

@Nalapani, you seem to be very interested Nepal's military history and its acheivements, however I would source my arguments rather than blindly passing off phrases as 'facts'. I am not questioning the authenticity of your sources, but I would like to see them so I could read them and draw my own conclusions. Like yourself, I am also a bit of a history buff, and your knowledge intrigues me. And I would also like to learn more about the Khas ethnic group as a whole. If you have a scholarly article/ ethnographies on this particular ethnic group, would you please post up a link? That would be greatly appreciated.
