本文考察了关于马德姆人身份的不同叙述，并通过确定他们在政治上日益自信的原因，将这一话语置于特莱地区的种族语言马赛克以及尼泊尔更大的政治场景中。文章认为，上层种姓帕哈迪移民社区(特别是在君主制时期)和尼泊尔政府的剥削和歧视在巩固马德西身份方面发挥了重要作用。虽然主流的马杜斯政党在这个问题上采取了软弱的立场，但武装组织要求彻底的“独立”。最近，马德西运动因马德西各团体之间的分歧(在目标和方法上)而受到影响。这场运动的分裂也将印度拖入了争议之中。帕哈迪和马德西组织都对印度所扮演的角色持批评态度，这可能会影响印度在尼泊尔的安全和经济利益。
This article examines the different narratives on the ‘Madhes’ identity, and situates this discourse in the ethno-linguistic mosaic of the Terai region as well as the larger Nepali political scenario, by identifying the reasons for their increasing assertiveness in politics. The paper argues that exploitation and discrimination by the upper-caste Pahadi migrant communities (especially during the monarchy period) and the Nepali state has played an important role in the consolidation of the Madhesi identity. While the mainstream Madhes parties have adopted a soft stand on the issue, the armed groups are demanding outright ‘independence’. Of late, the Madhesi movement has suffered because of differences (over objectives as well as methods) between various Madhes groups. The fragmentation of the movement has also dragged India into controversy. Both Pahadi and Madhesi groups are critical of the role played by India and this is likely to affect India's security and economic interests in Nepal.
