The recent Madhes Uprising has brought a lot of long neglected issues to the frontline. Madhesis demand a proper Nepali identity and recognition from the government. They have long been marginalized members of Nepali society, often looked down upon and discriminated against by pahadis.
Nepali Times and columnist CK Lal predicted the Madhes Uprising long before it happened. CK Lal had often warned of an outburst, like the one we all witnessed, unless madhesis were treated equally and without prejudice. Below is a list of Nepali Times coverage and analysis on the Madhes issue.
