| Goit... Go for a Talk
The Madhesi movement for rights is not unexpected in the post-April 2006 Nepal. But looks like the former Maoist cadres want more than just rights. Finally, thanks to Jai Krishna Goit, the leader of Janatantrik Terai Mukti Morcha (JTMM) or People's Terai Liberation Front, as well as Jwala Singh (real name Nagendra Paswan), who leads a splinter faction with a similar name, Nepal has reached the ranks of countries in the region, such as Sri Lanka, India and the Philippines, that have been grappling with issues of separatism for decades. Again, dialogue is the best way to resolve this early. So talk everyone.

I hope we don't become another Sri Lanka, or Kashmir. God bless Nepal!

If this goes on, we may have 100 other separatist movements. The Maoist have brought the country to this stage. What are Nepal's so-called democratic leaders doing?
