Madhesh (Nepali: ????), is the southern plains of Nepal where half of the country lives. Madhesi are the people of Nepal, roughly half of the country. The Madhesi have been discriminated against for centuries. Now they are in a revolt that feels like the second part of the world shaking April Revolution.
Madhesh also known as Terai (or Tarai)[1], is the flat southern region of Nepal which stretches from east to west. It is a part of the Indo-Gangetic Plain. It occupies about 17% of the total land and is home to almost 48% of the total population of Nepal.
The Madhesh is a 20 to 30km wide belt of flat and fertile land along the southern edge of Nepal. To the south are the Indian states of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, while the Mahabharat Range is to the north of Madhesh.
Contrary to the frequent image of Nepal as a mountainous country with snow-covered Himalayas and Mongoloid people, the region is a flat, fertile land with people and culture mostly resembling the neighboring Hindu culture of India. The major traditional languages in the region are Maithili, Bhojpuri, Abashi and Janjati.
The eastern part of Madhesh was a part of the ancient kingdom Mithila with Janakpur as its capital.
