It isn't exceptional that at whatever point we seek for an introduction to Nepal, it is frequently recognized as a multi-racial, multi-ethnic, multi-phonetic, multi-social nation.With people from 123 different cast speaking 125 different languages, the richness in diversity of the country is evident.Although the Constitution of Nepal prohibits all kinds of discrimination in terms of religion, caste, class, ethnicity, or gender, the deeply rooted practice of centuries passed on through generation seem to possess a stronghold in social practices.
Discrimination on the basis of ethnic group in Nepal has been a major issue now.Tharu and Madhesi people are moslty effected by such acts.Recent story by Nimagna Suman shows how these people are discriminated on each and every aspects.Here goes the story:
घरबाट करिब १२ बानेश्वेर जादैॅ थिए। कोटेश्वरमा यि ब्यक्ति बिच बाटोमा पागल जस्तै उफ्रिरहेका थिए । उनले मलाई रोके र आॅखा भरी आसु लिई यसो भन्दै थिए " दाजु हामी ठिमीबाट हिडेर आएछु । मधिशे भनेर मलाई बसको छतमा पनि बस्न दिएन। मेरो १ बजे कतारको फिलाईट छ, पिलिच मलाई ईएरपोट तक पुराईदिहाल्नुस न बहुत मेहरबानी हुन्छ"। । एयरपोर्टसम्मको यात्रामा उनले सबै ब्यथा सुनाए । निकै भावुक बनायो त्यो क्षणले । अन्तत जाने बेला उनले आखाॅ भरी आसुॅ लिई धेरै बेर मलाई हेरिरहे

I was travelling to Baneswor,Kathmandu at noon.On the way, this person was going crazy for sekking help.He stopped me and said with pity face "Brother, i walked 10km to reach here.They didn't allow me to travel on bus saying that i am madhesi.I have a flight to Quatar,please provide me lift to airport,i would be very thankful to you." During the way to airport, he told me every story. That moment made me very emotional.At the time of leaving, he kept looking for me for a long time with a crying face.
He was a madhesi people but firstly he was a Nepali.So, Say no to Discrimination. Respect Everyone !
