İ am coming to Nepal .. very soon... :)

Yay! Enjoy your time! Send me your pictures if you want. I’d love to see them :)

If you look at the Madhesi leader Mahato, you can see that he has Indian roots. In fact he only got the Nepali citizenship decades after having lived in Nepal. It is terrifying to Nepali from hills and mountain region to see how Indians are infiltrating our land, our culture (prople have adopted SO many Indian customs in thr last decades! for example rakshya bandan or this whole lehengi dress thing), our everything. They also steal and force our girls to work as slaves in brothels

cont…. They say that the Madhesh was an own kingdom and it was never affiliated with Nepal until the British Raj handed the Madesh over to Nepal. They say it’s culturally, ethnically and historically connected to India. Can’t we say the same thing about Sikkim/Darjeeling too? That it is Nepali land? That is belongs to us?

I can’t believe you’re worried about Nepalis wearing the lehenga?? My grandmother (who has no ties to India and is a 100% Nepali along with all her family) wore a lehenga to her wedding some 60 years ago, so lehenga is not exclusively Indian. It’s gaining popularity now due to Bollywood fashion trends but that doesn’t mean, it solely belongs to India. Rakshya Bandan is a nice holiday that celebrates the bond between a brother and a sister. I don’t see a negative thing here? If you don’t like it don’t celebrate it. Let other people celebrate what they want. With this logic should we also start worrying about people celebrating Xmas and Valentines day or any other festivals that aren’t “Nepali”.

There are lots of people in Nepal who have Indian roots, and many of those people consider themselves to be Nepali and love Nepal. To use their ethnicity and accuse them of being against Nepal and “infiltrating Nepal” without evidence of malice is quite frankly, racist. You’re generalizing an entire race of people based on your own prejudices and the actions of a few others. 

I don’t even know where to begin with the “steal our girls to work as slaves in brothels” argument because that is a very common picture that people like to paint: “terrifying Madhesi man comes and steals innocent Nepali girl!” Using this issue in this context is very very insulting to many groups of people. It is an extremely complicated issue and you cannot blame one race/ethnicity for it; that is offensive, inaccurate and absurd.  

I know that a lot of Madhesi people (supporters of the separatist movement) do not consider themselves to be Nepali and are against Nepal, especially the Nepali hill people. There is a lot of tension going on in Nepal and India is aiding these separatist groups because India has a lot to benefit from splitting Nepal up (hydro-power resources in southern Nepali rivers like Karnali river etc have massive economic gains). But you cannot just accuse an ENTIRE RACE because some of these scum happen to be from that ethnic group. This does nothing but spread fear and hatred amongst people and divides us further. The argument that these separatist Madhesi group have about how they had their own kingdom whatever is just their way of showing that they have a valid point (in their minds). A lot of Nepali people live in southern Nepal, and they absolutely do not want to separate from Nepal. Darjeeling has a lot of ethnically Nepali people but it’s never going to be part of Nepal because it belongs to India. They will always respect Nepal because their ancestors were Nepali just like Madhesis will respect India because their ancestors were Indian. But these separatist groups are selfish and evil and are power hungry and have no love for Nepal. Don’t lump these idiots in with the Madhesi people who love Nepal and consider themselves to be Nepali.
