Ek Terai, Ek Pradesh: How to get there?

[paramendra]

(1) Stop saying Ek Madhesh, Ek Pradesh. Start saying Ek Terai, Ek
Pradesh. 40% of the people in the Terai are not Madhesi. The future
Terai state has to feel like home also to them.
(2) Shoot for a four state federalism: Koshi, Gandaki, Karnali,
Terai.
(3) Talk of retaining the 75 districts.
(4) Unite all non-Maoist parties behind the slogan of geographic
federalism as opposed to the proposed ethnic federalism of the
Maoists. To the point of forming a new government sans the Maoists if
we have to to achieve geographic, four state federalism and Ek Terai,
Ek Pradesh.
(5) Engage the leading Tharu, Muslim and Terai Dalit groups in
respectful dialogue. Happily agree to their demand for separate
reservation for them in government jobs. Don't lump them in the
Madhesi category for reservation purposes. If you do, only Yadavs and
Jhas will benefit.
(6) Encourage the formation of a Tharu political party. Encourage them
to do well in the western Terai districts.
(7) Better yet, encourage the unification of all Madhesi, Dalit and
Tharu parties.
