I got this from some chitwane friends of mine who are already tired of seein maps that says Chitwan is part of Madhesh. (Chitwan's population is more than 90% pahadiyas, less than 1% Madhesis and about 5-10% Tharus?)

-----------

We in Chitwan produce more than 60% of nation's poultry, third largest amount of milk, we have nation's top draw national park, 200 top quality hotels, two airport, several medical schools, hospitals and Devighat. We are also 'heart' of nation's transport. But all our money goes to central govt. Our people living in Madi still live in medieval era. Be a person from Madi, and you feel how badly ignored you are. It is like 'batti muni adhyaaro'. Even Maoists killed 39 of our people and maimed so many, but they walk freely. Govt hasn't done anything to our 39 dead, even as it gives millions to others.

Furthermore, due to these bandas, our tourism industry is destroyed. We have welcomed every community from the country in Chitwan, and what have we got in return?

We are tired of bandas. If Chitwan is free state, we can lure other industries to chitwan by promisin no racial state, no ethnic tension, no bandhs, and highly civilized society.

We are more than 95% Pahades here, but we are being considered a part of Madhesh for the next 'federalism set up'. We don't want to be part of any state that has ethnicity attached to it. We are non-ethnic truly cosmopolitan state and will be so.

Chitwan will not be a state where ethincity will be more important. We are most civilized people. We will live together. We will have our free court, free schools and we will help our poors in our own way. Leave us alone. We have enough resources. We are not part of Madhesh, and we are not part of any other 'desh' than Nepal.

None of our money comes back to our district. If only our taxes came back, we would have underground train by now running from Narayanghat to Rampur, Madi, Lothar, Tandi and Mugling.We are being looted. We need justice. Our own people are poor and it is time that we be able to spend our all money right here. This is what we all want. We will soon be as rich as Cyprus.

Sincerely

FREE CHITWAN MOVEMENT

न्युट्रल ब्रदर,

क्या दनादन दिनु भो, मानें। मैले नि त्यहि भन्न खोजेको हो।अँग्रेजी नआएर मात्र लेखेको कुरो कता पुग्यो कता। चितवनलाई मधेस भन्नु ब्यर्थ हो। म त भन्छु, चितुन, तनहु र धादिङ मिलाएर एउटा राज्य बनाऔँ, भारत र चिन दुबै तिर सिमा जोडिएको। न अरुहरु आफैआफै मा मारकाट गरेर मरे रे भन्ने सुन्नु पर्छ, न चितवनेलाई कसैको सहायता चाहिन्छ। चितवन साँचो अर्थमा असल नेपाल हो, हाम्रो पुर्खाको सपना। बिकसीत, सहिष्णु, सुन्दर, संपन्न, शिक्षित। मधेसी वा जनजाती सबैलाई आउन मुन भए वेलकम, तर कुनै कोटा, रिजर्भेसन आदि बुलसिट हुनेछैन चितुनमा (अलि अलि चेपाङलाई प्रोब्याब्लि)।

Namaskar ji,

You are right; it is due to the transport connectivity role that Chitawan plays. But now Chitawan has to play more challenging role as Cultural Hub. And as Pire ji rightly pointed out, in new Nepal, Chitawan plus few other adjoing district as an autonomous region with "Chitaune Values" can lead by innovative examples.
