fdpower,

You should have googled what federalism means.

Federalism 101: Power to tax locally and spend the tax locally, similar to what the states of USA do. Also involves other powers...This fight is about the empowerment because many Janajati believe that the Bahuns at Central power like we have today are not spending equally to their interests. Its an idea of central collection and central redistribution vs local collection and local distribution.

But very few in Nepal really understand what Federalism is all about. Most in Nepal think like its about having a country for their own Tribe. Other like Indian/Biharis are taking advantage to split or paralyze the country. Bihari Jamindars want to be a little king of Tarai. Rai limbu want their 4000 year old lumbuwaan kingdom back and most importantly many think they are taking stuff away from Bahuns and would like to blame bahuns for their lazyness, incompetence, backwardness, illiteracy, ignorance, violence, and retardness.

For more you need to google. No one has time to educate you what federalism means in a chat board.
