done.
cheers, sree
how have you been (i get a hint from your blogs. hehe). Figure this is as good a time to catch up as any.
Man, things are starting to get bad in Nepal hai. But do you think this issue could have been raised in the HoR or CA? I think the Maos had a lot of good ideas in their movement (rights, equality, etc), but wasn't it the violence that sort of became its ugly burden? And when the Madhesi minister resigned from the interim government because of this movement, wasn't that a loss to the movement?
I do completely believe the south needs to be given what it deserves, it has been obviously cheated for far too long. But just the violence- on any front- is not a good development... civil, state, rebels,... and whatever forces there might be. Do you think violence will lead this movement somehwere, or detach it from the real cause like what happened in the not so distant past with the Maos...?
Your forecast was rather bleak and dark (seperated countires with no diplomatic ties..hehe), hopefully it won't get that far. What in your view must be done to stop this maddness (the violenece, not the demands)..? (non blog answer hai.. hehe. )
You know, it was a pity 2 (or 3) people had to die (again!) yesterday in Inarwa (my mama ghar), but then did the police post need to be attacked since the police was staying dormant at the time? And equally sad was the stabbing to death the Asst. Inspector in Biratnagar, not too far away from Inarwa. violence.. leads to violence... leands to more violence. And in the end, the solution has to be met politically and democratically. So why not inch towards that to begin with?
let me know your thoughts, un- blogged ;)

Memorandum for the Worsening Ethnic Conflict Situation in Madhesh/Tarai Region of Nepal
Honorable,
I would like to draw your sincere attention about the emerged on going serious ethnic conflict in Nepal. At present, the Madhesh part of Nepal is in a chaotic situation. The prevailing unrest has begun since December 26 2006. Now the situation is turned into a kind of Ethnic Arm Conflict. I would be very sad to inform you that the major part of Madhesh is like a battlefield. The whole region is shutdown, terrified, bandh, incident of murders and killing, vandalism, arson attacks, street battles, counter attack, arrests, curfews, offices and all business are on halt, and beyond the law and order.
The major movement leading groups belong from Madhesi community who represent from multiparty, multiethnic, multireligions multi-casts, multilingual, multi-geographical and so on. They all demand on equal treatment regarding issues such as caste, religion, or any others social, political, economic values.
The Madhesh governs more than 20 districts of Nepal where approximately 14 millions (apx 50% of Nepalese population) live in this region. Except the Madhesi ethnic groups, other scheduled and deprived group have been also supporting and expressing their solidarity on this the movement and asking government to fulfill the similar demands. These demonstrating groups have been claiming that they are extremely discriminated, far away from national mainstreaming, dishonored, excluded and ignored in state affairs and treated as 2nd class citizen even they have apx 50% total population and major charming land and national ornaments of Nepal.
Within the 3 weeks massive demonstration and protest, people killed; hijacked, factories and markets closed, plenty people badly wounded, few hundreds arrested and few billions dollars of properties destroyed and millions of financial losses attempted in few weeks only. The situation is going to be exclusively worsening and turning into arm violent, which is more than terrible. Peoples lives are in catastrophe and nation are about to ready to hubbub ethnic, and political explosion. There is no proper existence of human rights, press, law and order and social harmony. Therefore, the lives of Terrain are in disaster and burning here and there.
The major demands of the ongoing demonstrations can be concluded as follows which seems very rational and legitimate too. The all political parties, Government and leaders have been expressing personally and political positive attitude and use to give their public speech in favor of the ongoing movement’s demands. However, in practice, state and political parties unfortunately have not been able to address it properly. For this reason, demonstrators and its allied are not convinced, and they doubted on state and political party’s statement and their intentions.
The major of goals of the ongoing movement are to have immediate provision and legal arrangement through constitution
For their natural rights to self-determination, proportional representation in the constituent assembly, restructuring the constituencies based on population, federal system with regional autonomy, legitimate positive discrimination in state mechanism and elimination of all forms of discrimination practiced by the State mechanism. They people also argued that the state mechanism and its rulers have secluded them since last 238 years and their value, as dignified citizen has been shattered.
Therefore, I humbly request to all concerned international community to take immediate action through appropriate diplomatic approaches and effective channel for peaceful settlement of the all-booming ethnic conflict in my beloved country Nepal. I hope your kind help and consideration. Thank you.
CC To,
I humbly request you to all, kindly take a suitable serious action to resolve the problem that will help to prevent the booming destructive ethnic conflict.

Dear Paramendra,
I am one of the regular visitor of your blog (http://demrepubnepal.blogspot.com/2007/02/butchers-stop-killing-you-will-get.html). I appreciate your efforts to updating the blog regularly.
The issues of the Tarai are very much relevant to raise. I completely support the peaceful demonestration in the Tarai region. I am also from the same region. I am very much concern about the using the state forced towards the peaceful protest in the Tarai. In addition, the Maoists are also not in positive about the issues raised by the MJF. It indicates that the struggle has to be continue for the long time.
I feel some uncomfortable on the picture you loaded in your blog. I think we have to be more creatinve to prome the non-violent active protest. It may sound more idealistic. However, as educator and activists, if we fail to believe in the protest and non-violent movement then certainly we are going loose our mission and vision of the peaceful Nepal or world. I found those picture you loaded, will not help the general people to going towards the peaceful movement at all.
This is my observation on your blog.

Dear Pushkarji,
Namaskar.
Congratulate for your noble initiative for drawing the attention of international community towards the ongoing unrest in the Terai. But I don't agree with you in the idea that it is an 'ethnic conflict', and conflict of culture. I believe that there are many people of 'pahade' origin living in the terai who have been excluded from the mainstream politics. They have been the victim of exclusion throughout the Nepalese history. In this context, I suggest you to name it as only the conflict in the terai but not as the the ethnic conflict. Any way, I agree with your initiative.
Yours Sincerely,
Ramkaji Khadka

Road to Fair Representation: Ethnic Identity and Freedom
Dr Pramod Dhakal
The events unfolding in Eastern Terai in recent times have brought into our consciousness the fact that Nepal is boiling under a crisis that is looming along a blurred line of struggle for freedom and struggle for ethnic clarity. This blur has made it difficult for ordinary mortals like me to figure out what is what. This is painful predicament for people who stand for universal equality of all humans and harmony in the world. When emotions and passions rule over reasoning, and aspirations of people take wrong turn to put “me” against “you” among the oppressed masses, solvable problems become unsolvable ones. It has, therefore, become important for every conscious observer of Nepal to pause a bit and think of solutions that are compassionate, fair, insightful and lasting.
A handful of visionless and uncompassionate rulers and their henchmen were ruling Nepal for centuries by keeping the population at large in illiterate, poor, subdued and powerless state. It was next to impossible for the people who were living in perpetual indignity and neglects to experience some catalytic events that sore up their self esteem, confidence, emotions and passions – the manifestations of primary energy of humans which bring changes of profound scale. The changes of Nepal that gradually unfolded after 1990, and especially during the 10 years of war, brought a heightened awareness among its previously neglected populace. Every belittled human started to figure out that he/she is somebody like every other human and no one could ever dwarf his/her potentials through continuation of unjust practices of history.
This awakening of humans is a tremendous blessing for a society that is in a dire need of transformation. This awakening allows the people in power to take huge and bold steps that they could never have taken in the past. Also, it allows them to correct the injustices of centuries in a timeframe of a decade, and releases a fresh energy required to fuel the endeavors of prosperity. Having said so, the same awakening can also turn into a curse if regressive elements become successful in steering it away from the struggle for freedom and turn into a struggle for ethnic fiefdom. Previously oppressed people who are in the process of awakening have only realized that the wrong was wrong but are just entering into an uncharted journey in search of that illusive goal of fairness and justice! They are willing to demonstrate their pain in a hope that that someone enlightened will show them the light! However, who is going to show them that light?
The answer to this lies on one thing and that is trust. Whoever can gain the trust of the awakened people will be able to steer them to the destiny of his/her choice. It is not difficult to assume that if the trust were to fall on the hands of oppressors, landlords, and the fiefs, the aftermath of the struggle for the people would be no liberation. A challenge has, therefore, emerged in front of all those who stand for human freedom and to those who can expend their intellectual dexterity beyond protest and into a delightful world of serenity and compassion. We are not required to be compassionate to those who are knowingly exploiting the people’s awakening for unethical gains. But we must open our hearts to all those who are awakened with pure sincerity. It would be important to emphasize that others will trust us only if we prove to be trustworthy to them and vice versa.
For the last ten years, Maoists steered many Nepali people – old, young, men, women, poor, oppressed, and controlled - towards a fight to gain dignity for the oppressed, the devolution of old feudal power base, correction of old injustices, and the construction of a fair society. They showed some of their positive mantle when they demonstrated balanced sense of representation when sending representatives in the parliament. However, they disappointed many when they could not gain proportionality and federalism in the interim constitution while compromising with the old guard leaders who thought that Nepal had a just, equitable and democratic society in 1990 itself. Maoists thought that they will fight through the interim parliament but their inability to produce result outright has now being capitalized by regressive elements.
The seven parties (with small exceptions) thought that because they had bowed to the Maoists in every other front, only big ticket item where they could demonstrate their bravado was in not agreeing on the proposal of proportionality and federalism in the interim constitution. These leaders did not yield on these points in a hope of limiting the credit that might go to the Maoists for devolving the old state structure of Nepal. However, this was nothing but a sign of attachment to the past and lack of sight for the future. Ideally, it would have been better if their sights had opened months ago, but it is better late than never; and they have an opportunity to correct their mistakes now. You do not need to do anything for Tarai. You just give what every individual of Nepal who has faced injustices from the past deserves. When a framework for upholding principle of human equality is ensured, people of all ethno-cultural identity will feel a sense of justice including those living in Tarai.
At all time, it would be foolhardy to think that most people in the protest are puppets of bad leaders. It is better to think that many people are in the protest not due to any new vision presented by an enlightened leadership but because they are awake and can see that their grievances are not addressed properly by the interim constitution. And, it is also true that some regressive and opportunistic elements have utilized this as a best opportunity the destabilize Nepal; they could not have any better opportunity for pouring ample fuel than when there is fire. That is the reason Hindu fundamentalists and royalists are working day and night to steer this situation to a wrong end.
There is some burden of responsibility on the conscious leaders of the Terai people as well. An impression is spread with great ferocity, which is glorifying separation in the same light as liberation! Although such statements inspire us and motivate us, and there are some examples in history that liberations and separations have come together, destination of any movement depends on its vision, mission, plan, policies, architecture, methodology, and system; and, on top of this, a unifying, compassionate, and visionary leadership, and a seasoned management required to deliver lasting liberty, equity, prosperity, and peace. I have not come to believe that such mature leadership is in place at the moment in the Madhesi movement. On the contrary, there is a danger for the movement to be exploited by controversial, manipulative and opportunist elements. Fundamentalist elements opposed to human equality, opposed to democracy, active to bring back the royalist regime, and perpetrators of crime are shouting as if they are bleeding for the freedom of the people of Madhesh.
We are better off by advancing strong and invigorating debates on justice, equity, democracy and a whole host of other areas required to ensure freedom and fairness for all humans – whether they are young, old, men, women, Madheshi, Pahadi, Dallit, Janajati, Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, Christian and what not. Let us attempt to build a constitution that is accommodative, that encompasses human ingenuity, and is advanced enough to be fitting to today’s connected and conscious world. If such an endeavor would prove hopeless, we could all break apart amicably at that point. Let us make a fair attempt first to build one-humanity, and, if possible, one-world!!
