The Relevance of Madhesis’ Common Front

Now the world knows how Nepalese Madhesis have been facing discrimination for years. In a democratic system, it’s everybody’s fundamental right to be treated equally. As we Nepalese are too vying to have a democratic set up in our country, we would definitely not want any kind of discrimination and fights amongst ourselves. All the concerned authorities in power should ensure the smooth transition of current political system to a fully democratic system. Not a single Nepalese’s fundamental rights should be denied or suppressed.
We are at a building stage, even if a single stone in the foundation of a building is damaged, building’s longevity and stability decrease considerably. Same thing can happen with a nation’s set up, at this point of time, we can not leave the madhesi issues unsolved. Each of us knows a problem ignored is a bigger problem in future; we can not go blindly over the current crisis in madhes if we wish to lay a strong foundation for democracy in Nepal. I know this can not be solved single handedly, all the concerned groups and authority should build trust on each other then definitely we can expect a pact and we can dream for a prosperous Nepal.
Currently there are numerous groups active in Terai claiming themselves as well wishers of madhes and madhesi, I would like to ask them a question if they are honest in their approach then why can’t they form a single group with a common agenda truly devoted to uplift madhes and madhesi. If they are coming together, they will be a vital force to reckon; definitely their voice will be heard. I have been learning from my early childhood that “Unity is strength”. I am sure our so called great leaders also must have learnt but why are not they successful in implementing it in practice.
Today, the condition of madhes is even worst than earlier because of everyday’s strikes and bandhs, life has been crippled. General public is fed up with these atrocities, can anybody tell me where our future will be, if the same way continues, our young generation is unable to go to schools and colleges, businessmen are hard hit and farmers are no where. I would like to request all agitating groups to come together, make a common front and then peacefully make the government understand their demands. I can guarantee if we come together and be united for a common goal then in no time we can achieve our goal.
