भानुचोकबाट शुरु भयो लिम्बुवान-खम्बुवान विवाद
लिम्बुवानी नेता भन्छन्- किरात राज्य मानिँदैन

नयाँ संविधानमा किरात प्रदेशको परिकल्पना गरिएको छैन । तर, सुनसरीको धरानमा यतिबेला किरात राज्य मान्ने कि नमान्ने भन्ने विवाद सुरु भएको छ । ..... राईहरुको जातीय संस्था किरात राई यायोक्खाले हालै किरात राज्य स्थापना हुनुपर्ने माग अगाडि सारेको छ । तर, यायोक्खाले ल्याएको किरात राज्यको माग पहिचानको आन्दोलन तुहाउने षड्यन्त्र भएको आरोप लगाउँदै लिम्बुवान पक्षधर नेताहरुले किरात राज्य हुनै नसक्ने बताएका छन् । ...... उनले सिंहदरबारीय सोचबाट किरात राज्यको प्रस्ताव आएको भन्दै यो प्रस्ताव ल्याउने काम चार दलले गरेको आरोप लगाए । .... एमाओवादीका केन्द्रीय सदस्य तथा लिम्बुवान मुक्ति मोर्चाका उपाध्यक्ष मुक्सामहाङ मेन्याङ्वोले किरात राज्यको प्रस्ताव पहिचानको आन्दोलन समाप्त पार्ने नियतले आएको भन्दै त्यसलाई स्वीकार गर्न नसकिने बताए । .... नेकपा (एकीकृत) सम्बद्ध लिम्बुवान स्वशासित संघका अध्यक्ष केबी फुदोङले पूर्वमा लिम्बुवान र खम्बुवान नामका दुई राज्यहरु हुनुपर्ने बताउँदै भने ‘हामी लिम्बुवानका लागि लड्छौं, राई साथीहरु खम्बुवानका लागि लड्नुस्, यहाँ किरात राज्य हुँदैन ।’ ...... संयुक्त लिम्बुवान संघर्ष समितिले तेस्रो चरणको आन्दोलन घोषणा गर्न आयोजना गरेको पत्रकार सम्मेलनमा लिम्बुवानका लागि आन्दोलनरत अधिकांश नेताहरुले किरात राज्यको नाममा प्रस्ताव ल्याउन लगाएर सत्ता पक्षले नै आन्दोलन तुहाउने षड्यन्त्र गरेको आरोप लगाए । ..... यायोख्खाले किरात राज्यको माग अगाडि सारिरहेका बेला धरानको भानुचोकमै ‘लिम्बुवान कब्जा कार्यक्रम’ आयोजना गरेर लिम्बुवान पक्षधर नेताहरुले प्रस्तावित किरात राज्यको विरोध गरेका हुन् । ...... थाङदेनले किरात सभ्यता र संस्कृतिको पहिचान भए पनि जातीय पहिचान हुन नसक्ने भन्दै किरात राज्यको ऐतिहासिकता खोज्न काठमाडौं जानुपर्ने बताए । उनले भने-

‘हामी लिम्बुवान छोड्दैनौ, एक ईन्च बाहिर पनि जाँदैनौं ।’

....... लिम्बुवान संघर्ष समितिले तेह्रथुमको बसन्तपुर, झापाको केर्खा र मोरङको पथरीमा खबरदारी सभा गर्ने बताएको छ । ........ त्यस्तै भदौ ३१ देखि असोज ३ गतेसम्म पूर्वका नौ जिल्लामा चार दिने चक्काजामको घोषणा पनि गरेका छन् । ..... विभिन्न स्वायत्त क्षेत्रहरु समेत उल्लेख गरिएको नक्साको सीमांकन र नामांकन वर्तमान नक्साभन्दा फरक छ । नक्सामा हाल प्रचलनमा रहेका जिल्ला, अञ्चल तथा ठाउँहरुका बारेमा कुनै उल्लेख छैन । पुराना थर, थुमहरुका आधारमा बनाइएको नक्सामा अन्य जातिका लागि विशेष स्वायत्त क्षेत्र छुट्याइएको छ । ..... नक्सासँगै लिम्बुवानका ८ वटा विशेषताहरु उल्लेख गरिएको छ । धर्म निरपेक्षता, धार्मिक स्वतन्त्रता, बहुजातीय, बहुभाषिक, बहुधार्मिक, बहुसांस्कृतिक, पूर्णप्रेस स्वतन्त्रता, शान्ति, लोकतन्त्र र मानव अधिकार हुने जस्ता विशेषता उल्लेख गरिएको छ ।

यो नक्शा देखेर मेरो आफ्नै पनि दिमाग रन्थनियो। के देशमा दुई किसिमको नक्शा संभव छ? एउटा राजनीतिक/आर्थिक र अर्को नितांत सांस्कृतिक?

लिम्बु झापा, मोरंग, सुनसरी मा देखिएन

इतिहास को कुरा गर्ने हो भने त राजा जनक को मिथिला हिमालय देखि गंगा सम्म थियो। त्यो आज मिथिलावासी ले काठमाण्डु को लोकतान्त्रिक कब्ज़ा गरेर (देशव्यापी चुनाव जितेर) र नेपालको भारत सँग राजनीतिक र आर्थिक एकीकरण गरेर फत्ते गर्छ। अहिले लाई झापा, मोरंग, सुनसरी मधेस प्रदेश हो। झापा देखि नारायणी सम्म एक, उता कंचनपर सम्म अर्को।

3 Geographic States, 10 Identity Regions

The three geographic states should make the Congress and the UML happy. The 10 regions with identity names should make the United Maoists and the Madhesi Morcha happy. I think we are beginning to find middle ground.

A Non Territorial State For Dalits: Great Idea

Image via WikipediaRepublica: SRC majority report for 11 states

Limbuwan, Kirant, Tamsaling, Newa, Tamuwan, Narayani, Magarat, Karnali, Madhes-Mithila-Bhojpura, Madhesh-Abadh-Tharuwan and Dalit (non-territorial)

I am surprised there are still lawmakers insisting on Panchayati style north south states. But the 11 state idea is a good one, and the best part of the report might be the idea of securing a non territorial state for Dalits. That would be a cutting edge thing to do. Minus that the Dalits would have been shortchanged. I am so glad for this provision.

The Dalits are the most downtrodden group in Nepal.

This has to be coupled with the 33% provision for women. That applies to all parliaments in all states, including the Dalit state.

I am glad to see the country get one step closer to federalism.

Leaders of the federation said real peace is not possible without addressing Dalits’ issues. They said that sociologists have warned that the proposed provincial system might give way to a new form of discrimination against the community that has been facing social injustice and suppression for long. DNF said state restructuring will mean nothing for the Dalits if the government does not provide special treatment for long-suppressed communities.

Awadh, Chitwan, Bhojpura, Mithila, Kochila = Madhesh

After the Madhesi Kranti of February 2007, the Maoists punished the Madhesi people for the uprising by breaking up their own proposed Madhesh state into five parts and foisting Pahadi Bahuns to look after each of them in that party's internal structure. That mistake has to be undone. One unified Madhesh state has to be created. Chitwan is part and parcel of the Terai plains. Biratnagar is part and parcel of the future Madhesh state.

Seti, Karnali

Seti-Mahakali, Bheri-Karnali. Why double names? Why not just Seti and Karnali?

The Idea Of A Dalit State

When D B Sagar B.K. spoke at this event in NYC not long back, he suggested the idea of a Dalit state. He said a big chunk of my proposed Khasan state had the Dalits as the largest group. So why not have a Dalit state? I agree. Why not?
