Behaviour neutrality in executive, judiciary and legislature, even journalism, is necessary to address the concerns of the marginalised communities, including Madhesis.
There are problems in Madhes but the irony is that Madhesi leaders play with the sentiments of Madhes. They speak different languages to suit the interests of the audiences. In fact, Madhesi leaders use one kind of language when they are in opposition and they use different language when they are in power or in government positions. Madhesi leaders give fiery speeches when they address crowds on the road.
There is a lack of confidence between Madhesi people and the Nepali state. Madhesis want to be equal citizens of this country but the major political parties view their demands as communal and even against the national interests.Rulers have since long adopted a policy of exclusion vis-a-vis Madhesis. Madhesis are targeted by security agencies for raising their voice. Madhesis’ concerns require multi-pronged strategies on the part of the government.
