While I can't ignore the fact that india has some influence over Nepal but protesting against them is just stupid. Hashtags such as "#BackoffIndia","#BackoffModi" will just create more chaos and spread hatred against your neighbor. I can see lot of people using lot of offensive language like "dhoti" and lot of insulting graphics against india's interference. I agree with Ujl that we should concentrate our energy solving the problem rather than criticizing other.
India always had influence over Nepal psychologically, socially, mentally and economically. Most of the nepalese specially women don't know the meaning of entertainment except hindi serial, drama and movies. In social media these days they are even speaking their hindi language. I am not saying it's wrong but I am just trying to remind you that you are indeed a slave of their system. I agree that they are interfering our national sovereignty but bitter truth is when you are weak & poor anyone will try to belittle you. That's what USA doing to other countries and that's what Russia doing to Ukraine. Whether you like it or not but that's how the world runs. The best way to solve this problem is listen to those madhesies and agree that they are forgotten group of nepalese and I understand their protest. Try to change peoples mentality starting with your family members asking them stop calling them "madhesi/dhoti/bhaiya" etc. I blame each individual nepalese for this unwanted chaos. Not only madhesi but you shouldn't belittle other like rai/limbu as "bhote", newar as "Jyapu" etc.

What you are seeing in Nepal is bound to happen and you can't just keep your eye closed and insult someone and expect everything will be alright. India is just like another country who is taking advantage of this situation. In Nepal we have developed a extreme culture of blaming other when something bad happens. This is just my opinion and I would be more than happy if someone put an argument against my opinion. I want to hear what you say.
PS: Please don't ever for the F**K sake show the banner "Buddha was born in Nepal".
