We hear a lot about so called oppressed races in Nepal. Who are they, how are they oppressed, and by whom?
From Maoist terrorists to Congress slimes, they claim they represent the oppressed races of Nepal. The oppressed races are those who aren't educated, don't own land, and aren't politically dominant. Lets examine the reasons behind their so-called oppression using historical logic, shall we?
First, lets look at at the political domination. Then we will look into economic domination. Bhote groups have their own language and culture. Education was never part of their culture, otherwise they would have a written script to communicate and educate their young. Pahadis on the other hand had written script AND the history of learning. Education was never foreign to Pahadi, but it was to Bhotes.
Today, the same Bhotes claim to be "oppressed" because they aren't educated and, therefore, aren't politically dominant. They should question their own ancestors for not creating a culture of learning. A lot of groups don't have a learning culture. They don't needed to. Tribal groups from Australia to Africa to America were not educated. They survived just fine in the ancient times. But now in the age of knowledge, education is valued and needed. They still don't have the culture for learning. From my own experience, the bhotes in my boarding school were NEVER into studying. The chippeka keta haru always hated us Bahuns who liked to study and prepare for exams and earn good scores. We excelled and they got STUCK. Can they blame us because they were "oppressed", or they blame themselves? Their parents were rich, no doubt, in the Gorkha army and all. But their mind was still primitive. Blame themselves not us.
Now lets look at the Madheses. Terai was a malaria infested SWAMP LAND with very few people like Tharus. The Tharus never owned land. They were hunters. They hunted rats and small games. They did not know agriculture. After the swampland was cleared and Pahadis settled in Terai and owned a lot of land. Seeing their own Bihar being filled with Biharis, the Biharis started trickling into Terai. By the time they had arrived, there was no land for them to own. So how can they call themselves oppressed for being landless when 1) they were never into agriculture and 2) they migrated late, after all the lands had been taken.
Hence, it is now clear that these 2 primary "oppressed" races have no merit to whine about oppression. They should blame themselves, not others who had learning culture and were quicker.
That is all for now.
