Chairperson of the Commission, Dr. Vijay Kumar Datta, said that the Commission decided to remove Tharu in Subgroup 1 and Muslims in Subgroup 2 from the Study Report 2078 on Surname Enumeration of Madhesi Community in Nepal from the meeting held on Dec 6.
Savita Dangol, the commission’s deputy secretary, has written to the prime minister’s office and the council of ministers to request that the Madhesi commission’s decision be implemented.
Various Tharu and Muslim community associations have stated that Tharu and Muslim communities have distinct identities and civilizations.
Because their identity does not match that of the Madhesi community, they filed a complaint with the Madhesi Commission requesting that they not be placed in the Madhesi cluster.
