भारत देश होइन महादेश हो

भारत देश होइन महादेश हो। यूरोपियन यूनियन, इंडियन यूनियन। भारतले चाहिं आर्थिक एकीकरण र राजनीतिक एकीकरण पनि गर्न भ्याएको। युरोप मा पहिला मुद्रा एकीकरण गरे। त्यो अधकल्चो भयो। त्यस पछि आर्थिक एकीकरण गरे कनीकुथी। बड़ो गार्हो काम। कति भयो, कति बाँकी छ। कति भएको पनि उल्टिंदैंछ। गार्हो काम। तर आर्थिक एकीकरण गर्ने अनि राजनीतिक एकीकरण नगर्ने हो भने ग्रीस जस्ता समस्या आइ पर्छन।

भारत भनेको अमेरिका, युरोप र अफ्रिका एक ठाउँमा ल्याए जस्तो हो। त्यति विशाल छ भारत को जनसंख्या। भारत ले मौद्रिक, आर्थिक, राजनीतिक एकीकरण सब थोक गर्न भ्याएको। गुजरात भनेको फ्रांस, जर्मनी, ब्रिटेन जस्तो। बिहार भनेको पोलैंड जस्तो।

संसारका सफल र प्रभावशाली अर्थतंत्र सबै ठुला ठुला देशमा नै छन। अमेरिका, चीन, भारत। ठुलो बाजार मा बढ़ी आर्थिक गतिबिधि हुन्छ। त्यस कारणले।

धनी पश्चिमी जर्मनी र गरीब पुर्वी जर्मनी बीच जब एकीकरण भयो धनी पश्चिमी जर्मनी लाई निकै घाटा लाग्यो।

पुर्वी युरोप का देश हरु यूरोपियन यूनियन को सदस्य्ता लिन तछाड़मछाड़ गर्छन। हाई स्कुल मात्र पढेकाले कॉलेज पढ्न खोजे जस्तो गरेर। तर नेपाल लाई इंडियन यूनियन को सदस्यता लिन कुनै हतार छैन। बरु उल्टै भारत प्रति विद्वेष को भाषा बोल्ने नेपालको राजनीति मा माथि पुग्छ। त्यो एउटा गरीब देशको राजनीतिक संस्कृति हो। गरीब छौं गरीब नै भएर बस्छौं भनिएको हो।

संस्कृति कै कुरा गर्ने हो भने खस हरुको संख्या नेपालमा भन्दा भारतमा बढ़ी छ।

नेपालमा भारतले हस्तक्षेप गर्यो भन्ने गरिन्छ। दुईटा को राजनीतिक एकीकरण हुन्छ भने नेपालको कुनै सांसदले पुरा भारत माथि शासन गर्न सक्छ। एउटा राजाले अर्को राज्य हड़पे जस्तो होइन। लोकतान्त्रिक एकीकरण मा त्यस्तो हुन्छ।

रोडमैप ऐसा हो सकता है

• चुंकि नेपालमे सार्वभौमसत्ता जनता के हात में है इसी लिए भारत के साथ आर्थिक और राजनीतिक एकीकरण के मुद्दे पर अन्तिम फैसला नेपालकी जनता ही कर सकती है। 
• इस बात को मुद्दा बना के पार्टियाँ जनता में जाएंगे। इस मुद्दे को संसद में बहुमत मिल जाती है तो देश जनमत संग्रह में जाएगी। जनमत संग्रह में बहुमत मिल जाती है तो प्रक्रिया शुरू। ये जरुरी नहीं की भारत मान जाए। और सिर्फ भारत के प्रधान मंत्री के मानने से नहीं होना है। मेरे को गारंटी है राज ठाकरे इस बात का विरोध करेगा। कहेगा कंगाल देश है हमें भी कंगाल कर देगा, दुर ही रखो, बिहार से निपट नहीं पाए हैं अब शर पर नेपाल भी रखेंगे? दिमाग ख़राब है क्या हमारा? भारत सरकार अगर मान भी जाती है तो भारत के संसद को बहुमत से अनुमोदन करना होगा। 
• उसके बाद एकीकरण की प्रक्रिया शुरू। 
• १० करोड़ के आधार पर बिहार के पास ४० लोक सभा सदस्य हैं तो नेपाल को ३ करोड़ के आधार पर १३ मिले, राज्य सभा में बिहार को १६ है तो नेपाल को ५ मिल जाए। नेपाल के ७५ जिले कायम रह जायें। 

नेपाली जनता के living standard को उपर ले जाने का इससे बेहतर आईडिया कोई है ही नहीं। नहीं तो हेटी अमरिका के कितना पास है और कितना गरीब है? 

सिक्किम + दार्जिलिंग + उत्तराखंड = Greater Nepal

जिंदगी में पहली बार मैं ग्रेटर नेपाल के सपने देखने लगा हुँ। पहले तो नेपाल के भितर जनमत संग्रह करना होगा। उसके बाद negotiate करना होगा। उत्तराखंड और सिक्किम वालों को भी मानना होगा। दार्जिलिंग तो मान जाएगी ही। ममता बनर्जी भी मान जाएगी। त्रिपाल जो भेजा था ढेर सारा। कुछ तो सहानुभूति है।

सिक्किम का एक MP, दार्जिलिंग का एक, नेपाल का १३, उत्तराखंड का ५ ---- तो जम्मा २० ---- बिहार के आधे साइज पे आ गया।

उसके बाद शायद मिथिला निकल जाए। बिहार और नेपाल दोनों से भुमि ले के।

पृथ्वी नारायण शाह का नाक कान काट्ने वाला जमाना गया। अभी तो लोकतंत्र का जमाना है। कोइ अभी के नेपाल के भूभाग से MP बनके सारे भारत पर राज कर सकता है ----- पृथ्वी ने वो बात सपने में भी नहीं देखी थी।  वो तो हिन्दुस्तान से भाग के आया भगौड़ा था।

तराईका मधेसी, दार्चुलाका खस र नागरिकताको सवाल

तराईका मधेसी अथवा दार्चुलाका खस ले जब बोर्डर पारी बिहे गर्छन, त्यो विदेशमा बिहे गरेको हुँदै होइन। नेपालको सीमाना त्यो ठाउँमा कोरिनु भन्दा धेरै अगाडि देखि हुँदै आएको बिहेवारी त्यो। नागरिकताको सवालमा त्यस्ता बिहेवारी लाई एउटै देश भित्र को बिहेवारी जस्तो दर्जा दिनुपर्ने हुन्छ। होइन भने यो देश टुट्छ।

छिमेकी देश सँग को बिहेवारी लाई एउटा बिशेस दर्जामा राख्नुपर्ने हुन्छ। त्यसलाई देश भित्र को बिहे बराबरको दर्जा दिनुपर्ने हुन्छ।

र नागरिकता पाउने बाटा विभिन्न हुन सक्छन तर प्रत्येक नागरिक बराबर हुन्छ। राणा हरुमा हुन्थ्यो, A क्लास राणा, B क्लास राणा, C क्लास राणा। त्यस्तो A क्लास, B क्लास, C क्लास नागरिकता बनाउने होइन। लोकतन्त्रमा नागरिक सबै बराबर हो।

Multiple Citizenship

Nepal GDP $20 Billion, Bihar GDP $60 Billion

Bihar is the poorest state in India, but its GDP is three times that of Nepal.

फिर भी Anti-Madhesi Racist लोग कहते रहते हैं बिहारी हरु नेपाल पस्यो। कंगाल देश है। कौन आ रहा है? थोड़ा बहुत आ जाते हैं। लेकिन जितना आते हैं उससे १०-२० गुणा से ज्यादा उधर जाते हैं। और जाना भी चाहिए। लोग जाते हैं, काम करते हैं। रोजी रोटी कमाते हैं, अपने परिवार का देखभाल करते हैं, तो अच्छा ही करते हैं।

जल्दी जल्दी संविधान लिखिए और नेपाल को double digit growth rate के रास्ते पर ले चलिए। ताकि प्रत्येक सात साल में GDP doubling होता चला जाए।

२०१६ ----  २० बिलियन
२०२१ ----  ४० बिलियन
२०२६ ----  ८० बिलियन
२०३१ ---- १६० बिलियन

Comparing Indian states and territories with countries: An Indian summary

Earthquake Proof Homes Made With Local Material

Bamboo is magic. Check out this video.

This is where the Madhesh, Bihar, UP and West Bengal could chip in in a major way.

Instead of well to do Nepalis in Kathmandu organizing #GoHomeIndianMedia campaigns, there should be an effort to rope in the Chief Ministers of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal to put together a Donate A Bamboo For Nepal campaign in their villages.

I am not aware of the ground situation in terms of land rights and all, but would it be possible to create new towns along highways where the construction can happen much faster? All the needed reconstruction might not happen in time. And moving people will also have to be thought of as an option. New towns built along the highways, Chitwan, and the Terai have to be thought of as options.




Outside help will come, but only if Nepalis roll up their sleeves to help themselves first. Using local material would be a good start. This is the best video I have come across so far on the topic.

Another one that I came across and like a lot is here. The advantage here is that you can build the foundation using local material. And for the roof part you can use all those tents and tarpaulins that have come into the country from outside. This might be the quickest way to put roof over heads before the monsoon strikes. And these roofs are lighter than most, if not all. Chinooks could fly them to the remotest parts. Just drop them and trust the locals with them. Drop them in the valleys, drop them some distance from the villages.

These roofs, and water tablets: I'd think these have got to be top priority for now.

The Entire Terai Can Be Irrigated

There are enough rivers that all of Terai can be irrigated. And total flood control is a distinct possibility. Those two steps alone will take up the agricultural production in the Terai by at least a factor of three to five. These two steps also can bring in cooperation from Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, and by association Delhi itself.

Active encouragement of migration to the three Inner Terai vast valleys of Udaypur, Chitwan and Surkhet will also make room for massive reforestation programs in the hills and mountains so as to counteract landslides.

There has to be a comprehensive master plan that makes room for (1) 40,000 MW of electricity generation, (2) total round the year irrigation across the Terai, and (3) total flood control. You have to find ways to do these without massive ecological damages.

A year round black topped Hulaki Rajmarg is at the center of this whole discussion.

Madhesh, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh: One Culture Zone

Two Geographical States In The Terai

English: a aerial view of field in terai in Nepal (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Inner Terai (Bhitri Madhesh) is part of the Terai, hence the word Terai in the name. Surkhet, Chitwan and Udaypur are part of the geographical Terai. And they have to be part of the Terai states.

The time for Ek Madhesh Ek Pradesh is over, and the fragmented 30 Madhesi parties are to blame. But now it is time for one Madhesi party and two geographical states in the Terai.

Tharus are Madhesis. Muslims in the Terai are Madhesis. You can not argue Madhesi women are not Madhesi just because there might be sexism in the Terai. Dalits in the Terai are Madhesis, although it can be argued they face enormous social difficulties.

Nawalparasi and west, Surkhet included, could be one state: Western Terai. Chitwan and east all the way to Jhapa, Udaypur included, could be Eastern Terai. Two states.

The discussions on federalism in Nepal has to start with these two purely geographical states in the Terai. The people of Nepal have voted the NC and the UML into power. I believe that is a mandate for geographical federalism.

That is a mandate for honoring the geographical integrity of the Terai. You honor that and creating four states in the hills becomes easier.

Inner Terai is not called Inner Pahad. You can't take Surkhet, Chitwan, and Udaypur out of the Terai. If you do just because they are Pahadi majority districts (and by Pahadi I mean cultural Pahadi) that would be like saying the rest of the Terai should go join Uttar Pradesh and Bihar because of cultural similarities.

Jhapa and Morang have large Pahadi populations, but that is no reason for them to not be part of the Terai states.

Ek Madhesh Do Pradesh.

I would want more and more people from the hills to migrate to these two Terai states because these two states have become so very vibrant, economically speaking. That would strengthen the national unity.

Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Terai

Laloo Yadav (Photo credit: bbcworldservice)

Nepali speaking Nepalis from the hills talk of Nepali speakers in places like Sikkim, Darjeeling, Assam and elsewhere as their own, and I don’t begrudge that. Cultural bonds are healthy. But by that same token, people in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh feel like my own to me. There are shared cultural bonds.

In my case, it goes way beyond that. I was born in India. My mother is Indian. One of my sisters is married to an Indian. I am as likely to dial the Indian country code as the Nepali country code. Main Laloo Ka Aadmi.

Nepalis who manage to come over to NYC are free to not work for Indians, but more than 95% freely choose to work for Indians. So it makes little sense for them to talk hate speech against Indians, which is the exact same hate speech they use against Madhesis. If Indians are your American dream, for you to talk hate speech against them is not only ungrateful, it is your problem, not theirs. I think that attitude, which is a mental sickness, is the primary reason why the overwhelming majority of Nepalis stay stuck in the jobs they start out with in the city. They prevent their own upward social mobility by engineering unhealthy attitudes towards Indians.

After democracy was reinstalled in Nepal in 1990, the Congress swept the Terai. All my relatives in Mahottari and Dhanusha became Congress supporters. My family was one exception. My father contested for parliament on a Sadbhavana party ticket. But that was preceded by the enemy behavior Basu Risal’s brother, the Vice Principal at the school, and Chiranjiwi Wagle’s cousin, a teacher, acted out against me at Budhanilkantha School. They were not alone. It was a rude shock to me. It took me years to come up with the vocabulary to describe my experience. You can see water with great clarity, but if you don’t know the word for it, what will you call it?

When the Sadbhavana party split for the first time, Hridayesh Tripathy, Rajendra Mahato, Rameshwar Raya Yadav, Sarita Giri, and others formed the Nepal Samajwadi Janata Dal. Tripathy was General Secretary, I was a Vice General Secretary. Technically speaking I was senior to both Rajendra Mahato and Sarita Giri at the time in the party. That was right before I came to America for college.

Over a decade later I became the only Madhesi in America to work full time for the Madhesi movement when it took off in 2007. Upendra Yadav and I had never communicated one on one before. But when he landed in Los Angeles a few months later for the ANA Convention, his first question to the people who went to receive him was, “Where is Paramendra Bhagat?” They took him to the hotel, he again asked, “Where is Paramendra Bhagat?” They ended up flying him over to NYC. I was with him pretty much every hour during the four or so days he was in the city before he flew over to Nepal.

The electoral setback of the Madhesi parties in the recent elections to the Constituent Assembly I have taken in stride. The pendulum will swing again. You can’t be 30 parties, and say Ek Madhesh Ek Pradesh, and expect the people to buy that. There is space for only one Madhesi party in Nepali politics. All 30 parties will have to become one. I believe they are working towards it. That act of unification alone will take their vote share from the current 25% to 35%. Post unification that one Madhesi party will sweep the state elections in the Terai.

Sushil Koirala’s performance has been poor. And some of the key UML leaders in government act nakedly corrupt, and are supposedly with open underworld ties. I already foresee a strong anti-incumbency wave against the NC and the UML in the next national election the country will see, which should be some time in 2015.

I want the NC to perform well. I want the UML to perform well. That elevates the standard of democracy in the country. If the NC and the UML perform well, the only way the Maoists and the Madhesis stand a chance of a comeback is if they do even better. That political competition is a good thing. But I have been disappointed by Sushil Koirala and Bamdev Gautam. Forget development, I am not sure they are even going to deliver the constitution on time.

What Nepal needs is a Modi, a Nitish Kumar, someone who will focus on the economy like a laser beam. Sadly I don’t see a personality of that temperament in Nepali politics right now. It will take a good constitution and a few national elections for the system to throw up such individuals perhaps.
