Starting from a tharu perspective CK lal brings the bigger picture of elite Vs counter elite & social eng. Vs rightist/conservative eqn. in CA II..he writes There seems 2be some hesitation among a section of Muslims & Tharus in making common cause wd mainstream Maoists &resolute Madheshis. The suspicion that the hegemony of caste-Hindu Pahadis is likely to prevail all over again has perhaps disheartened some minorities& oppressed communities: Submission at least ensures survival; struggle carries the risk of externalization &even obliteration. Just as Tharus, Muslims&Janjatis were used as triggers 2undermine&then end the CA-I that could ve helped them reclaim their dignity, the same group may yet be used by the dominant community to re-legitimize their hegemony. The winter is going to be long &cold in Tarai-Madhesh.
