I understand what you are talking about. I have felt the same way. However, this is a different scenario. Because here we don't have a choice. It is India's way or no way. That is the hard reality.To turn India's way into a deal that is a win-win for both countries requires diplomatic finesse which we certainly do not possess. Certainly not when we are too busy begging with no shame.
It is important to remember the 1989-90 blockade. The parties then were happy about the blockade. They asked India to continue the blockade to get what they want and they got it. King lost the power and an unfortunate system of government was installed in Nepal. The Madhesis are playing by the same book.
It is also important to remember that the Maoists gave false hopes to everyone and anyone to recruit child soldiers, calling it for what it is. They told Limbus you can and should have Limbuwan. They told laborers that the land they work on should be theirs. Somehow capitalism was at fault and they would bring communism and solve the problems. Well the communism they brought bought Prachanda a nice house and a nice watch and millions in the bank. But I digress. In that process, they agreed to a ek madhes ek prades in order to get the madhes parties to support their movement. Madhes parties agreed and Maoists got their andolan. Well, now they want what was promised to them.
Also important to remember Bhutanese refugee crisis. How did thousands of Bhutanese end up refugees in Nepal. Nepal does not share border with Bhutan. India does. What happened? When Nepali speaking Bhutanese were being discriminated and feared for their life, India didn't intervene. They didn't institute a economic blockade on Bhutan. And that was a real humanitarian crisis. Military killing and raping people. Forced evictions. Even after living in Bhutan for so long they were not considered Bhutanese. The national census had "Genuine Bhutanese" as an option, whatever that meant. India didn't speak for the minority. They put them on a bus and dropped them off at Nepal border.
Someone should put biharis on a bus and drop them off at Raxaul border. And give citizenship to the refugees living in camps instead. After all they are the only group that want to be called nepali. Some want to indentify themselves as madhesi(not nepali), other want to identify themselves as tibetan (while holding nepali passport) and badmouth nepal wherever they go, apply for asylum once they get state side. Born in Nepal and never visited Tibet, who are these Nepali hating Nepali passport holding Tibetans?
