Makhe Sanglo to Black Madheshi...
-Anant Anurag

NCP, UML is a party guided by communist ideology and principle. The main basics of communist ideology and principle are division in terms of classes and races. Communist ideology and principle come at front for addressing the classes and races. In the history of the communist parties around the globe, they are found proceeded ahead along with the same ideology and principle.  
In the context of Nepal, communists have their majority. Generally, around the globe, the communists have the problems of not staying hand in hand under the same organization for a long time. Therefore, the communist ideology and principle are being weaker and weaker in a slow pace. In Nepal, some intellectuals have an analysis that the communist ideology and principle are being less and less powerful day by day.
When the leaders get distracted from ideology and principle, then hypocrisy arises among them. As a result, they have a delusion that there is no profounder to initiate better notion and principles than that of their ideology and principle in this world, and neglecting the notion and principles that they were following in the past, they take colleagues as the main enemies. The eyes of beholders may change, and the incivility of mind spill over.
Now the victimized leaders with Olian Nationalism, they are taking Nepalese citizens as their enemies and foreigners. The latest incident, in an article, Shankar Pokhrel, a leader of UML has put discriminatory racial opinion against Madhesh and Madheshi people.
Pokhrel is not the first person to speak against Madheshi, Indigenous Community and Dalits, Others evil-spirit leaders from Olian Nationalism have been repeating the same wrong deeds again and again.
An alliance in UML urges that empowerment should not be provided to Madheshis, and they take all the people having black faces are Biharis and Indians migrated aside the borders. And the alliance is under the leadership of the current chairperson, KP Sharma Oli. Recently there is mass who believe that such behavior and boldness of Mr. Oli has doctrine of Olian Nationalism.
Former prime-minister and the chairperson of ‘New Force, Nepal’ has been saying time and again that Olian Nationalism is incomplete, cannot address the integrity of the nation and brings a conflict between Pahadi and Madheshi. Oli named the movements led by Madheshi people as a chain of houseflies (Makhesanglo), though protestors died, he stated that it didn’t matter though a few fruits fell down; if you need all plain areas, then go to UP and Bihar in India, if anybody asks rights on the moon, is it possible to allocate a state for Madhshis there? Such kinds of insulted behavior to Madheshis is still fresh in their mind and soul. 
The former chairperson of UML, Jhalaknath Khanal was in opposition of the 8 and 12 points agreement between Madheshi Forum and late Girija Prasad Koirala in 2007 stating that the agreement was against nationalism. Then he spoke in a public program that it was not possible to separate ‘Dhoti Pradesh’ as the Dhotis were asking, and he named Madheshi people as Dhotis.
In course of time and situation, as the bad intension of the leader Pokhrel was published, we can understand the hidden motto of UML in this nation. When the leader Pokhrel faced confrontation for his twit on twitter, rather than apologizing on this issue, he had tried to prove his statement true and tried to prove that there was still color discrimination around the globe.
The leader Pokhrel has twitted indicating the movements led by Madheshi Parties and the Madheshi community as the Madheshi Front had proclaimed the New Constitution Declaration Day as the Black Day, “Madheshi people mostly are black in color. After proclaiming the day 20th September as the Black Day, whether they are trying to respect or insult themselves. It is difficult to understand.” There was confrontation against his apartheid on social networks not only from Madheshi Community but the youths besides UML also remonstrated against it.
In the perception of mono-ethnic racial thoughts and Mahendra Nationalism, Madheshi brothers and sisters can be taken as Indians or Biharis. As Madhesh and India share the same border, it is sure there can be social and cultural similarities. Even Madhesh, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh share same linguistic behavior.
Does such relation make a person an Indian or Bihari? Why the Mongolian people in Darjeeling are called Nepali although they are Indian citizens. Talking on the bitter statement of Shankar Pokhrel, the president of Terai-Madhesh Democratic Party and Madheshi Front, Mahantha Thakur has stated that the madness of Shankar Pokhrel would continue unless there is the end of discrimination against Madhesh. 
He has blamed that the nation has discrimination over Madhesh on the ground of language, color and dresses. 
Likewise, Sharat Singh Bhandari, the president of National Madhesh Socialist Party has twitted against Mr. Pokhrel’s twit on social network, “I am proud of with black face with white soul, hateful to white faces with black soul, and damn it to those cowardice slaves who are living such insulted life”.
Racial mono-ethnic thinking
Youth columnist Dil Nishani Magar has written, the UML leaders who opine that identity of ethnicity and color brings the nation into division, why they are putting down the nation into instability, this is matter of concern. Moreover, the speeches given by former prime minister KP Sharma Oli on the demands of indigenous people and Madhesi, such speeches make it so. He seems expert using some offensive language such as Makhe Sanglo, Makafui and so on.
Just thinking as a loyal leader of Oli alliance, can Pokhrel strike on the emotion of Madheshi community? And isn’t it a narrow thinking of color discrimination and racial concept or anything else? It is an extreme example of new imperialism and racist concept.
The Origin of Color Discrimination in the World:
For freedom, respect and equality, on 21 March, 1960, 69 people died in Sharpeville in South Africa. Same is the case in Nepal and the series still continue. The discrimination on the grounds of race and color had an expansiveness especially in African countries that had an influence throughout the world. Unless there is interruption from the people like Shankar Pokhrel in Nepal, it is sure that the movements of discriminated people would spread out like in African countries. 
As the black people could not tolerate the suppression, discrimination, injustice, oppression, exploitation and slavery from white people, thousands of people protested peacefully meeting in a single place. At that time, the police fired bullets rashly over the mass of demonstration and 69 died including 8 women and 10 children leaving 180 people injured. The whole world became shocked due that great massacre from brutal suppression of the government.
The misbehaviors like insult and hatred of white people to black people in American and African countries, and hatred and insult of upper class people over Dalits in Nepal and India in Asia have been in practice for ages. Discrimination, injustice and tyranny on the grounds of race and color haven’t been ended yet.
Has UML planned to make division in the community in terms of color discrimination in Nepal? It is the time to think, and youths should be conscious about it. It’s surprising that the UML political leaders from Madhesh were found not speaking against color discrimination rather are forced to stay insulted and helpless.
