Dear friends,
1ST THING IS THAT WE SUPPORT THE MADHESHI MOVEMENT IN NEPAL BECAUSE THEY ASKING FOR THEIR RIGHT.
We are fighting for independence because we have been discriminated against for too long."
Its time to wake up and grab your power in every sector. Madhesi students around world have facing their identity problem.
Is this true that you are not Nepali or you have not your own identity in your own country?
We are in the twenty first century and we must admit that more can be achieved by working together.
So united we stand and divided we fall this thing should be understand by each and every madhesi.
Unity is essential for madhesi bcoz we saw in past that how they use their divide and rule policy.
Playing a cast politics is very dangerous for our ancient society madhes and our identity in world as well as in our country also.
But we were the victim of cast politics in past, so do not be fool this time wake up and contribute your presence
in the unity of madhesi as well as the welfare of several madhesi community who lived in tarai region of Nepal .
Throw your own ego problem with others or avoid negative people at all costs.
They are the greater destroyers of self-confidence and self- esteem so leave them in
their way and come in front to keep your hand together for the well fare of madhesi people.
Make their identity proud around world as well as in our own country.
Unity is our strength so try to maintain your strength.
If we have no strength than we are useless for everyone no one will value us till now
you saw that what was happened previously how much they valued us.
They always want to divide or use to divide our community, with help of several parasites.
We base our basic ideology on the following baseline: EQUALITY AND DIGNITY for madhesis as equal citizens of Nepal. It is a real shame that we have kept quite despite being discriminated and abused for hundreds of years. To live like a second class citizen in our own soil (madhesh) and be treated with such an indignity and impunity by pahadi supremacists and yet to wait with patience that one day things will get better, is a blot of our past. It must be cleaned at all cost.
I ask you, my brothers and sisters, IS EQUALITY AND DIGNITY A LOT TO ASK? History will never forgive us if we still keep spectating meekly and suffer the boots of pahadi supremacism. If you believe you are true sons and daughters of madhesh, stand up, hold your fist high and say - "HUM MADHESI, HAMAR MADHESH" and plead to fight - fight for our right.
Any individual sympethising with our quest for "equality and dignity" is our friend and our source of inspiration regardless of his/her race,colour, caste or creed

IDENTITY
It is must for the recognition and identity of Madhesh & Madheshi in the worlds.
No one tells them you are Nepali, first they use to tell that you belong to India or some of them are says that the name particular state you belong.
Each and every madhesi student have same problem in sarcc countries even in their own country who studying in pokhara, Katmandu, and dhulikhel ……………….
Those who are studying in several states of India, Bangladesh and Pakistan……..
Every madhesi students have their identity problem.
Even their own countryman classmates believe same who are from hilly region.
Is they are not nepali?
If they are not nepali than who are they what’s their identity.
What is the identity of madhesi those who are living in the plain land of the Nepal.
Is they are really Indian or nepali who are they. Why they are treat madhesi student like Indian. Even their countryman friends.
Fighting between madhesi and pahari students is common thing, its happens bcoz pahari students treat madhesi student second class national even they make their superiority for being nepali

MISSION OF AIMSA
1) To promote the advancement of the madhesi students identity, awareness of languages and culture of their community.
2) To Promote close cooperation among the madhesi student in India.
3) To Develop the network between madhesi students in India & around the world.
4) To Provide support to students from Terai in India in time of difficulties.
5) To promote harmony, cooperation and strengthen ties with other Nepali organization.
AIMSA is a platform for madhesis to fight for their due rights and dignity in Nepal. Madhesi movement is already in offing in various forms and through various organisations. However, they are scattered and disoriented despite their same goal for the average madhesis. AIMSA envisages aligning the movement and surging it forward with force. It represents the fight against Pahadi-supremacist oppression and institutionalized marginalization in Nepal. We will give befitting reply to the Pahadi bigotry and discrimination against us. We need to teach the bigots what is called mutual respect and equality.

Feature of our organisation
AIMSA aims for equality and dignity for madhesis in Nepal. Anyone, who thinks we deserve them as our due right, can be our member. Our memebrs spread across whole India . Precisely, Madhesis studentsin india came up with the idea of such an umbrella organisation to align madheshi movement. We believe in "Gandhian" philosophy of revolution. The list is being compiled and anyone wishing to join can come together and join.
VOICESES OF AIMSA
“Independence is madheshi greatest priority people must be able to decide on their future something they have not been able to do up to now”.
“Be united and make others to unite, for the well fare of madhesi people and their coming generation.”

Being a citizen of a country and belonging to a country are 2 different things indeed........
“GIVE YOUR heartly FULL SUPPORT FOR MADHESI WELLFARE, AND MAKE A FUTURE BETTER MADHESH FOR OUR NEXT GENERATION WITH UNITY IN DIVERSITY

Ability of unity in our community shows the strength of our wealth. Our ability to make good decision will determine our success as much as any other any other factor. It is not lack of ability or opportunity that holds madhesi back; it is only lack of confidence in madhesi
Be united and make others to unite, for the well fare of madhesi people and their coming generation.”
One-madhes-one-state
Several culture, several language, several religion but only one state that is madhesh, it is the definition of madhesi unity in diversity.
What is your vision for your next generation and your life? What do you want to be your next generation? Imagine no limitations, what would you do with your next generation if you had all the education, experience, and resources that you and your generation required. Your life is a reflection for your next generation. If you change you thinking, than you change your generation and yourself.


Now we have time to shape the future for our next generation. We can start building of madhesh together from the beginning”. Revolution will bring madhesi the opportunity for a new society of madhesi that would respect madhesis culture, madhesis dignity and give equal status in every stream of country. And where fundamental problems such as corruption, social injustice and issues related to ethnic minorities would be addressed with urgency.

Madhesis are educationally, economically and socially backward compared to those residing in the hilly regions and are discriminated against based on their costumes, languages, art, social structure and are jeered at with derogatory words such as 'madhise, bhaiya (brother in Hindi), and dhoti . Some of the demands made by Madhesis are the right to autonomy; political representation in the central government; equal rights for their languages in courts, in education, and in local and central administration; and an end to Bahunbad.
IDENTITY IS BCOZ EVERY PART OF THE WORLD AND AS WELL AS HILLY REGION OF NEPALI BROTHERS DO DOT KNOW THAT YOU ARE A NEPALI. EVERYONE TREAT MADHESI LIKE INDIAN EVEN NOT LIKE A MADHESI OF NEPALI.

About madhesh
Madhes is great
Be proud that you are a madhesi because you have your own identity, digity, culture, tradition and way of living life style.
Historicity and Linguistic Facts of MadhesThe Madhes region is marked with linguistic and racial diversity. Out of 60 castes and ethnic people, 29 reside in the plains. Similarly, 48 out of 103 linguistic groups hail from the plains.

If you are proud to be a madhesi and their identity than fight for madhes that will be only ruled by madhesi people in future in the walefare of madhesis and it also help us in our identity problem which is faced by every madhesi around the world even in Nepal.

ECONOMY OF MADHESMadhes's [Terai’s] Contribution to Nepalese EconomyTerai people (Madhesees) have made significant contribution to the development of Nepalese economy. 60% of the total land of Nepal falls in the plains. Thus the plain people make 60% of contribution in the entire agriculture. Gross Development (GDP) made by the Madhesees is 65%. On the other hand, they contribute 72% to industrial inputs. They run about 49% of industries. Thus they contribute 76% to the revenue. All the major dry ports and transit points lie in plains on the Nepal-India borders. Indeed, the entire Nepalese territory north to India is inhabited by the Madhesees. They have intact relations with people of Sikkim, West Bengal, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and those on northern Indian borders.
LITERACY OF MADHES
Madhesees having 24.5% population have only 17.7% of high literacy. This biasness on the part of the state will be detrimental in the long run, leading to heavy disproportionateness and final extinction of the community. The women of this community face the same lot or fate.

Proper job placement madhesi student
no single Madhesees is atop any constitutional body. Even the present cabinet has few ministers from the same community. Only one Madhesees official of the Foreign Services has been appointed as the ambassador. Especially, no Madhesees has been appointed for the same post representing different sectors on political level. Only one Madhesees is promoted and posted for the post of Secretary in the entire Nepalese government. According to some government data, only 259 Madhesees held the post of Section Officers out of a total 2,500 officials about some years ago. In fact, the government has adopted a policy of keeping the Madhesees at a bay and away from the mainstream of the state on account of complex constitutional and legal provisions.
