hmmmm...curfew thodna kasle sikako ?????can any body tell me ???

I think every Nepali should go to the street and support these kind of activities especially the Janajatis because they could gain more out of this kind of sitaution then anyone else. If the Medhesi could do it then anyone can, which is why there is another strike for 2 or 3 days in eastern Nepal called by all the Janajati.

In Kathmandu there was a rally to support the Madhesi, there should be one in US as well, how about it guys?
