Madhesi Movement: Write To The Media





The thing to remember is that this thing works. It worked during the April Revolution. Newsdesks do look at emails they get. If they were to get 50 or 500 emails on the Madhesi Movement, that would certainly make a difference. So I encourage all Madhesis and progressive Pahadis to participate in this email writing campaign.

Do not send out mass mail. Write to one email address at a time. Or hide all email addresses when writing to them at once. But personalized emails work best.

Terai News

Sample Letter

To: The Editor

Dear Sir/Madam,

There is a Madhesi Movement going on in Nepal that parallels the world astounding April Revolution. That was for democracy, this is for social justice. The Madhesi are the people of the southern plains in Nepal and have been kept out of the state machinery for centuries.

Anywhere between five and six million Madhesis have been denied citizenship rights which is a fundamental human right violation being perpetrated by a so-called democratic government. This government has agreed to provide citizenship papers to about three million of them over the next few months so as to "solve" the "citizenship problem." That is a cruel joke upon the Madhesi.

Half of Nepal lives in the Terai but only 80 of the 205 parliamentary constituencies are in the Terai. If elections to the constituent assembly are held, the cards will be stacked against the Terai in the assembly.

The Madhesi Movement has been a nonviolent one, like the April Revolution. The April Revolution garnered global media attention. It is time the Madhesi Movement had the same. This is a social justice revolution that will possibly bring in the other marginalized groups under its umbrella, namely the Dalit, Janajati and Mahila. Nepal as the world has so far known it does not include these four groups, the DaMaJaMa. Time has come to expand the Nepali identity to include all.

I request your media outlet to please cover this august movement.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
(Name)

मधेसी मुद्दा

गुणराज लुइँटेल

केही दिनयता मधेसमा आगो बलिरहेको छ । त्यसलाई सम्बोधन गर्न काठमाडौंले भने निकै ढिलाइ गरेको छ । घटनाका सम्बन्धमा छानबिन गर्न बल्ल पुनरावेदन अदालतका न्यायाधीशको अध्यक्षतामा आयोग गठन भएको छ ।

लहानको स्थिति चिन्ताजनक रूपमा बिगि्रएको छ । यसअघि यस्तै विस्फोटक स्थिति नेपालगन्जमा देखिएको थियो । चौतर्फी प्रयासले मात्र त्यसलाई साम्य पार्न सम्भव भएको थियो । पटक-पटक उठेर आउने यस्ता समस्याहरूको खण्डित प्रयासले अब समाधान सम्भव छैन । कुनै समूह वा व्यक्ति विशेषलाई दोष दिएरभन्दा पनि समग्र मधेसका समस्यालाई काठमाडौंले आत्मसात गरेर मात्र समाधान निस्किन सक्छ । आज बारम्बार मधेसी नेताहरूले २ सय ३८ वर्षदेखिका समस्याहरू समाधान नभएका कारण यो स्थिति आएको बताउँदै छन् । निश्चय नेपालको अभिन्न अंग भएर पनि मधेसले कहिल्यै पनि राष्ट्रिय मूलधारमा समाहित हुन नपाएको पीडालाई अहिले अभिव्यक्त गर्दैछ । मधेस र मधेसीको राष्ट्रियतामाथि निरन्तर शंकाको दृष्टिले हेरिएको र तदनुकूलकै मधेसी विरोधी नीति अवलम्बन गरिएका कारण आज यो स्थिति आएको छ ।

शाह राजाहरूले नेपाललाई निरन्तर हिमाल र पहाडबाट चिनाउन खोजे । मधेसीको राष्ट्रियतामाथि सधैँ शंका गर्ने र तिनलाई राष्ट्रिय मूलधारमा समाहित गर्न नागरिकताको अधिकारबाट वञ्चित गर्ने काम भए । 'एउटै भाषा र एउटै भेष' को नारा लगाएर नेपालमा 'मण्डले राष्ट्रवाद' को पाठ पढाइयो । आज बेला आएको छ, हिजो हामीलाई सिकाइएको इतिहास झूटो थियो भनेर थाहा पाउने । अनि झूटो इतिहासलाई सच्याउने ।

आज मधेसी समुदायले जुन आन्दोलन सुरु गरेको छ, यो उनीहरूको मात्र होइन । यसलाई समग्र नेपालको आन्दोलनका रूपमा आत्मसात गर्न ढिला गर्नु हुन्न । मधेसीले आफ्ना जायज माग राख्दा नेपाल टुक्रिन्छ भन्ने आशंकाबाट पनि ग्रसित हुनु आवश्यक छैन । पुरानो घाउको शल्यक्रिया गर्दा केही पीडा हुन्छ तर त्यसलाई सहन सक्नुपर्छ । हिजोदेखि खाइपाई आएकाहरूको भाग खोसिन सक्छ । तर बहिस्करणमा परेको ठूलो जनसंख्याको हितका निम्ति अल्पसंख्यक लाभान्वितहरूले ठाउँ छोड्नुपर्छ । सहजै छोड्न नसके बलात् ती ठाउँबाट हटाइने निश्चित छ ।

निश्चय मधेसीका आवाजलाई मुखरित हुन आजको खुला वातावरणले मौका दिएको छ । सुगौली सन्धियता राणाकाल, पञ्चायतीकाल हुँदै मधेसी दमित भएका हुन् भन्ने बुझ्नु आवश्यक छ । मधेसी आवाजको प्रस्फुटनलाई आफ्नो गुमेको सत्ता फिर्ता गर्ने अवसरको रूपमा कसैले लिन खोजेको छ भने त्यो दुःस्वप्न मात्र हुनेछ । मधेसी नेताहरूले यो पक्षलाई बुझेका छन् । आफ्नो पछौटेपनका लागि जो जिम्मेवार छ, त्यसैका निम्ति मधेसीले आन्दोलन गरिदिन्छन् भन्ने नठाने हुन्छ । हुनसक्छ, केहीले आन्दोलनको रापमा आफ्ना अभिष्ट पूरा गर्ने सपना देख्न सक्छन् ।

अस्थिरता बढ्दै गए र मधेसका मुद्दा अगाडि सार्ने क्रममा त्यसलाई मधेसी र पहाडीबीचको साम्प्रदायिक दंगामा परिणत गर्न पाए फेरि राजालाई 'राष्ट्रिय एकताको प्रतीक' का रूपमा प्रस्तुत गर्न पाइने थियो भनी ठान्नेहरू हुन सक्छन् । 'देख्यौ त राजा नभएपछि यस्तो अवस्था आउँछ' भनेर जनतालाई दिग्भ्रमित गर्न खोज्नेहरू पनि हुन सक्छन् । तर मधेसी आन्दोलनलाई त्यता लैजान खोज्नेहरू छन् भने पनि तिनको पहिचान मधेसी नेतृत्वले सहजै गर्न सक्छ ।

'आगलागी झोपडी डेढघडी भद्रा' भनेजस्तो ताल अझै पनि सात राजनीतिक दल र माओवादीमा देखिएका छन् । शान्ति प्रक्रियाले गति लिइसकेपछि मधेसी, जनजाति र दलितका मुद्दालाई सम्बोधन गर्ने तत्परता देखाइहाल्नु पदैन ? मधेसीले संविधानप्रति असन्तुष्टि प्रकट गरेपछि त्यसलाई सम्बोधन गर्न तत्काल वार्ता प्रक्रिया सुरु गरिहाल्नुपर्ने हो । जनआन्दोलनको सफलतापछि मधेसमा अत्यन्तै अस्थिरता छाइरहँदा पनि लामो समयसम्म त्यसलाई काठमाडौंले महसुस गरेन । नेपाल भनेको काठमाडौं हो भन्ने मानसिकता परित्याग नगरेसम्म शासन सञ्चालन गर्न अबलाई सकिन्न भन्ने दृष्टान्त पनि हो अहिलेको मधेस ।

मधेसले यतिबेला आफ्नो पहिचान र राष्ट्रिय राजनीति तथा प्रशासनमा समान प्रतिनिधित्वको अपेक्षा गरेको छ । हिजोका दिनमा गजेन्द्रनारायण सिंहजस्ता नेताले मधेसका समस्याहरूलाई शान्तिपूर्णरूपमा उठाएका बेला सम्बोधन गर्न सकेको भए आज यति अप्ठ्यारोस्थिति आइहाल्ने थिएन । त्यसमा पनि जयकृष्ण गोइत र ज्वाला सिंह पनि जन्मिने थिएनन् । ढिला भइसक्यो । मधेसका जायज मागलाई समयमै सम्बोधन गरेर राष्ट्र निर्माणको महान अभियानमा मुलुकलाई अघि बढाउन सबैले लाग्नु आवश्यक छ । राजा नभएर यस्तो भयो भन्नेलाई मौका नदिनु अहिले बुद्धिमानी हुनेछ । यसका लागि शासनमा बस्नेहरूले छाती ठूलो त पार्नैै पर्छ ।
