CAME ACROSS THIS WHICH IS INTERESTING WHEN YOU COMPARE THAT IN SIKKIM THE NEPALESE ARE CHASING THE MADHESI POPULATION OUT OF SIKKIM BY LEGISLATION BASED ON SIKKIM SUBJECT CERTIFICATE IN NEPAL ITSELF THE NEPALESE ARE DYING OF HUNGER AND ARE INVADING MADHESH THAT MEANS SILIGURI AND JALPAIGURI WHERE THE DARJEELING NEPALESE WANT A STAE AND THEN WHEN THEY GET A STATE THEY TOO WILL CHASE THE ORIGINAL INDIANS /MADHESI POPULATION OUT.
ABSOLOUTELY AMAZING THAT NEPALESE CHASED OUT FROM EVERY PART OF NORTH EAST DO NOT UNDERSATND THE PERSECUTION AND INDULGE IN THE SAME ACTIVITY THEMSELVES.

Destination India to escape hungerDamodar BhandaryBanke, December 18:Unable to bear the pangs of hunger and mounting debts back home, asection of famished residents of mid-west are making a beeline forIndia for sustenance.Usually, the burden of debts piles up after festive occasions likeDashain and Tihar.To compound their woes, the food grains' stock, too, runs out aroundthis time of the year.Consider the case of Jagat Malla, a resident of Devasthal in Salyan,who entered India via Nepalgunj today."There is nothing to eat back home. Children are always crying ofhunger. To makematters worse, I haven't been able to repay the loan I took from themoneylender during Dashain. I've no option but to go to India to makeboth ends meet," say a hapless Malla.He isn't alone. Forty other members of his native village are part ofthis combat-hunger trail. The trickle has mutated into a steady streamas the hilly districts in the remote corner of the country don't evenproduce enough for subsistence. "There isn't enough for everybodythrough the year. Besides, we cannot grow adequate food grains due tothe hilly nature of the terrain. We have to depend on outside supportto tide over the crisis," say Dhruba Khatri, a resident of Phalawangin Rolpa. India, however, is hardly a greener pasture for this under-nourished lot."We work as labourers in double shifts, through day and night. Eventhen, we hardly make enough to pay off our debts," says Khatri.Dil Bahadur Khadka, a resident of Chhedgaon in Jajarkot district,echoes Khatri."I never wanted to go to India in the first place. But how long canone go hungry?" asks Khadka, whose migration party boasts of 50companions.Officials at Jamuna Police Post, on Nepal-India border, corroboratethe exodus from the impoverished zones. At least, 12,000 Nepalis havegone to India in search of better livelihood over the past two months."At a conservative estimate, 200 people are entering India from thischeck post," says Bishwo Gautam, sub-inspector, Jamuna Police Post.The hunger trail, which begins in back-of-beyond Rolpa, Rukum,Surkhet, Dailekh, Jajarkot and Salyan districts, usually end up inprosperous Indian cities and towns like Chandigarh, Mumbai, Delhi,Simla and Dehradun for two square meals a day.http://thehimalayantimes.com/fullstory.asp?filename=aFanata0scqzpla5a8a6wa.axamal&folder=aHaoamW&Name=Home&sImageFileName=
