Madhesh is a fertile and humid region of southern Nepal in the Terai belt. The Nepali people who have cultural and demographic connection to Bihar and Uttar Pradesh of India and historically lived there are identified as Madhesi people. The region’s name in Urdu as referred to by Muslims is lands lying at the foot of a watershed” or “on the banks of a river; low ground flooded with water, valley, basin, marshy ground, marsh, swamp; meadow”. The eastern part of Madhesh and northern part of Bihar was part of the Mithila region and has been separate from Nepal historically. It was gifted to Nepal by the British as a reward for helping to suppress the 1857 rebellion of India.[3] There is an ongoing movement for a “Free Mithila state” in Nepal. The Alliance for Independent Madhesh is an organisation led by CK Raut that aims to gain secession for the region from Nepal.
