Is the blockade for 1.8% of Nepali population?

Marginalized groups should always have a right to protest to be heard but the fact is that there are a lot of marginalized groups in Nepal. For example, the himal people are marginalized and so are the hill people. Even different caste's have been marginalized. It is a good thing that one marginalized group is rising up and making demands. But one thing that needs to be taken into consideration is that when one marginalized group starts making protests, it should not affect other marginalized groups negatively.

In the current protest, the madhes protests are marginalizing the already marginalized groups of Nepal. That does not seem right at all. The blockade is not the way to go and the more the madhes protestors continue to marginalize the rest of the other marginalized Nepalis, then it only creates a hypocritical situation when one marginalized group is only interested in their own demands without giving a damn about other marginalized groups who are now even worse off because of the Madhesi blockade.

The most effective thing to do would be to go and block the government offices or the individual politicians who have not fulfilled their promises. In this case even other marginalized groups would be willing to join them,
