Rajnath Singh
This is the first time in history an Indian Home Minister has spoken for the Madhesis of Nepal, and we are so very thankful.

Indians would be protected in Nepal: Rajnath Singh
Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh has said that the Indian government is concerned about Indians living in Nepal, considering its present political situation. ..... "Although the Madhesi problem is an internal issue of Nepal, the Indian government will protect the interests of the one crore Indians living there," Singh said, during his visit to Maharajganj on Sunday. ..... He was there to unveil an outpost of the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) and lay the foundation stone of its proposed new building.
The home minister's visit is being considered crucial at this point of time because the entire Terai area along the UP-Nepal border is caught in violent clashes between the natives and Madhesis.
....... Madhesis are Indians who had migrated to Nepal years ago. While many have received Nepali citizenship, majority of them are still without a nationality. The Madhesis have alleged that several political and militant organisations have been targeting them and inflicting atrocities to force them to leave Nepal. However, the BJP has been supporting the Madhesis for long. ..... Yogi Adityanath, BJP MP from Gorakhpur and Mahant of Gorakshnath Temple, has often been alleged for providing logistic support to the movement of the Madhesis against the Nepal government. ..... The southern region of Nepal, running along UP, Bihar and West Bengal, is known as Madhes. Madhesis, who constitute 30 per cent of Nepal's population live in the Terai area. But 40 per cent of these Madhesis still don't have a citizenship or the right to vote. They claim that the Nepal government deliberately ignores the Terai area to relegate them....... Large-scale violence has erupted along areas of Maharajganj and Siddharthnagar.

Earthquake Proof Homes Made With Local Material
Bamboo is magic. Check out this video.
This is where the Madhesh, Bihar, UP and West Bengal could chip in in a major way.
Instead of well to do Nepalis in Kathmandu organizing #GoHomeIndianMedia campaigns, there should be an effort to rope in the Chief Ministers of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal to put together a Donate A Bamboo For Nepal campaign in their villages.
I am not aware of the ground situation in terms of land rights and all, but would it be possible to create new towns along highways where the construction can happen much faster? All the needed reconstruction might not happen in time. And moving people will also have to be thought of as an option. New towns built along the highways, Chitwan, and the Terai have to be thought of as options.
Outside help will come, but only if Nepalis roll up their sleeves to help themselves first. Using local material would be a good start. This is the best video I have come across so far on the topic.
Another one that I came across and like a lot is here. The advantage here is that you can build the foundation using local material. And for the roof part you can use all those tents and tarpaulins that have come into the country from outside. This might be the quickest way to put roof over heads before the monsoon strikes. And these roofs are lighter than most, if not all. Chinooks could fly them to the remotest parts. Just drop them and trust the locals with them. Drop them in the valleys, drop them some distance from the villages.
These roofs, and water tablets: I'd think these have got to be top priority for now.

The Entire Terai Can Be Irrigated
There are enough rivers that all of Terai can be irrigated. And total flood control is a distinct possibility. Those two steps alone will take up the agricultural production in the Terai by at least a factor of three to five. These two steps also can bring in cooperation from Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, and by association Delhi itself.
Active encouragement of migration to the three Inner Terai vast valleys of Udaypur, Chitwan and Surkhet will also make room for massive reforestation programs in the hills and mountains so as to counteract landslides.
There has to be a comprehensive master plan that makes room for (1) 40,000 MW of electricity generation, (2) total round the year irrigation across the Terai, and (3) total flood control. You have to find ways to do these without massive ecological damages.
A year round black topped Hulaki Rajmarg is at the center of this whole discussion.
