Talk:Madheshi people

+-40% is incorrect

It is true that Madhesi contribute up to 40% of the population but among those one of the major portion includes Nepali speaking population who have been omitted here. Please note that the percentage described here (40%) includes people from all the races( including pahadi's) but on other details only those who are ethnically, culturally and lingually madhesi are included.

I request someone to correct this as I am still not sure but believe that madhesi % should be around 20% of the whole Nepali population not 40%. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.50.53.25 (talk) 10:02, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Find a reputable source to back up your claim and this will be an easy fix. The CNN web page cited in the article stated about half of the population and the U.S. government source stated 40%. Find a better/more comprehensive/more up-to-date source and the figures can be updated. - ʈucoxn\^talk 09:15, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Citation needed

In the Recent Developments section, there was a date (5 January) without a year. I added the year as 2007, since I believe the violence in the Tarai did not start until after the Jan-Andolan II. However, we should have a news citation for this. 69.232.222.19 08:02, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Language and Cleanup

This article is in serious need of cleanup. There is a lack of paragraphs and correct use of grammar. On top of all this the language is appaling. Throughout the article sentences such as "In Indian side, you cannot heard about Madhesi" are prevailant. I have tried my best, and will have another go, but I am unable to decipher certain parts of the page. --Maurice45 (talk) 16:54, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

More about other communities

There is too much focus on Mithila community in the article. Though it is the dominant culture there should be more mention of other community and the language section needs to be rewritten with emphasis on language. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jhanikhilesh (talk • contribs) 04:42, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

POV

Many sections in this article, especially relating to the history of Madhesi are the point of view of the writer[s]. While the view point may be correct, appropriate citation would be nice. 24.228.93.105 (talk) 18:08, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

madheshi people and terai nation

there is no such thing as "madheshi people" and "terai nation". the terai is a geografical term. the terai is inhabited by a whole selection of peoples with different languages, mainly nepali, maithili, hindi and several others. the majority of madhesi are original inhabitants. there were separate kingdoms like mithila abadh . they all were not migrated from india, but pahadi entered the terai from very beginings to rule on madhesi.so the population of pahadi in madhesh is low.

I agree with Sundar1. There are recent historical proofs. Bikashdai (talk) 19:55, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

They did not migrate from india

Do you have ANY historical evidence or proof that they migrated from India? If you do then please be kind enough to show us that proof. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.8.68.95 (talk) 05:22, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

madheshi

the article starts with "Madheshi Bihari" which is completely diagreeable. Madheshi is independent adjective and should not be combined with Bihari. and madheshi are also not the refugee of Bihar states at all. the migration could be possible naturaaly to some extent from neoghbouring states of India but that is also possible from West bengal and Uttarakhand wherre there are Nepali speakers migrating into Nepali terrritory. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.166.198.241 (talk) 08:27, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Vandalism

One of the editor of this page had been involved in Vandalism before the page was semi protected. Madhesi are the entire population of Nepal those who resides in the Terai of Nepal. Madhesi has been derived from the adjective word Madhes which has been interchangeably used for referring Terai and the people those who resides in Terai are called Madhesi. The immigrants to Nepal are either Nepali Bihari or Nepalese people of Indian origin. Madhesi are not the immigrants of Nepal. They are the people of the same country. Regarding total population, all the sources narrates nearly 40% of the population of Nepal lives in Madhes. The demonym are allegebly added Dhoti and Bihari. There is a no demonym like Dhoti in the world and people living in Madhes are called Madhesi not Bihari people. I request you to revert this page to the previous months edits. And thanks for protecting this page from further vandalism in the future. (70.39.185.84 (talk) 06:28, 13 July 2014 (UTC))

Maithili people

Maithili People of Mithila (Nepal) were also true indegineous people of Terai. (Nepali Bihari (talk) 04:49, 17 July 2014 (UTC))

Unrecognized language

Hindi is not not the language spoken by Madhesi. It is spoken only by Marwari ethnicity and Nepali Muslims in Nepal. Please replace Hindi with Nepali. (49.126.0.36 (talk) 10:25, 10 August 2014 (UTC))

TOTAL POPULATION

There were atleast 35 percent Madhesh people in 2011 A.D Census. 12% were Maithili speaking Madhesi called Nepali Maithils, 6.1% were bhojpuri speaking madhesi and 18% were other language speaking madhesi. Please replace 10% with +-35% of total population (26,454,904 is total population of Nepal on 2011 A.D) (49.126.0.39 (talk) 15:48, 28 October 2014 (UTC))

Nepali People

Madhesi are the people originated from Madhesh region of Nepal. So they are the people of Nepali origin. Madhesh is not in India. Madhesi are bonafide full time permanent citizen of Nepal and recognized as official nationality by Government of Nepal. They are mentioned as Nepali people of Nepalese Terai (Madhesh) origin in Interim Constitution of Nepal 2007. The people of Indian origin who inhibit terai of Nepal are Nepalese people of Indian ancestry. But, Madhesi are the people of Nepalese origin. Please make a necessary changes to Show a real fact in this article. Thanks. (49.244.238.211 (talk) 00:57, 31 March 2015 (UTC))

Madhesi are of Nepalese origin

Madhesi are the people or ethnicity of Nepalese origin and everybody in Neapl surely knows. All the reference in this article cite Madhesi people as Nepali people and of Nepalese Terai origin. Then why not improvements had been made. Madhesi are the Nepali ethnic group and must be clearly mentioned in Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnsmithsawr (talk • contribs) 01:28, 31 March 2015 (UTC) (Johnsmithsawr (talk) 01:30, 31 March 2015 (UTC))

Non Madheshi ?

Indians migrating into Madhesh due to normal marital alliances cannot be called Non-madheshis. Any indian migrating into madhesh without requiring any assimilations into the "new" territory can be called Madheshi as well. Categorizing them as non-madheshis, or indians is rubbish or the same parochial mindset of the Nepali rulers of mis-categorizing madheshis.
