After Tharu Movement, Dalit, Muslim And Women's Movements
http://demrepubnepal.blogspot.com/2009/03/after-tharu-movement-dalit-muslim-and.html
I wholeheartedly support the ongoing Tharu movement, I have from the
very beginning. I go one step further to say I look forward to the
Dalits, Muslims and women of the Terai similary rising up, similarly
waking up to claim their due share at the table.
Neither the Pahadi parties - Maoist, UML, NC - nor the Madhesi parties
have done right by the Tharus, the Dalits, the Muslims and the women.

Subject: Our Contribution To A New Constitution
I think this vibrant thread shows members of this think tank have an
important role to play in the making of a new constitution for Nepal.
I am going to study this constitution draft uploaded to this thread by
Bal Krishna Jha:
National Coalition Against Racial Discrimination: Proposed
Constitution
http://demrepubnepal.blogspot.com/2009/02/national-coalition-against-racial.html
I skimmed through it. I think it looks great.
Those who have followed my blog (http://demrepubnepal.blogspot.com)
for the past few years know I have taken my proposed constitution for
Nepal through many drafts.
Some questions I ask are;
(1) Why are people hellbent on drafting a really long and wordy
constitution? Why should we not shoot to write the shortest
constitution in the world? A lot of issues that should go into laws
and bylaws to be passed by a parliament people are trying to put into
the constitution.
(2) I think the map for federalism is less important than the formula
for power distribution between the center and the states. What if they
do agree to One Terai, One State, and create three or five states in
the hills and then say in the upper house each state will have 20
representatives? Then? That would bring forth a permanent colonization
of the Terai.
(3) Should we or should we not retain the current 75 districts? That
is a key question.
(4) Should we go for ethnic federalism or geographic federalism?
(5) Should we not adopt multi-member constituencies for elections to
the lower house? That is the most popular form of elections in the
world.

http://demrepubnepal.blogspot.com/2009/01/what-shape-federalism.html
My personal thing to say is these below are the two most important
goals for the next constitution.
(1) Turn Nepal into a multi-party democracy of state-funded parties.
That one provision will turn Nepal into the number one democracy on
the planet.
(2) Make sure at least one third of the legislature is female by law.

Subject: Re: Dalits are not Madhesi
The Dalits, Muslism and Tharus in the Terai don't feel Madhesi the
same way we Madhesis don't feel Nepali. We are going to have to face
the fact that the Dalits, Muslims, Tharus and women in the Terai have
been marginalized. That acknowledgement is fundamental to getting them
to join us in the larger struggle against Pahadi suppression that is
wholesale. The Pahadis don't discriminate between Madhesi Dalits,
Madhesi women, Madhesi Muslims, Madhesi Tharus, Madhesi Yadavs,
Madhesi Babhans. They suppress all indiscriminately. And in the case
of the Tharus in western Terai, their suppression is totally at the
hands of the Pahadis.

Bijayji. You make it sound like the only way Nepal will stay intact is
if the DaMaJaMa shut up. That if they complain of injustice, the
country will break up. That those who complain of racism are the ones
who are racist. I am alarmed that an educated person like you can not
do better by the task of creating a new Nepal. A more just Nepal will
be a more united Nepal, a federal Nepal will be a stronger Nepal, but
if that is not true, if a more just Nepal will not be a more united
Nepal, that Nepal deserves to break up into pieces.

Lalitji. You have brought forth a very important topic. We have to
discuss this frankly. I especially draw your attention to this:
Madhesi Self Hate
demrepubnepal.blogspot.com/2006/08/madhesi-self-hate.html
We spend too much too much time talking about Pahadi bad behavior, and
too little time talking about Madhesi bad behavior, and I mean not
only the infighting among the Madhesi masses back in Nepal, but also
sometimes strange behavior by the by definition elite Madhesis in
America and elsewhere.
Curiously it has been my observation that the Pahadis in NYC are like
the Madhesis in Nepal: powerless. And are similarly guilty of much
internalized racism.
