Nepal is a Multi-national, multi-lingual, multi-cultural and multi-religious
country. Nepal is a country where Lord Buddha, Philosopher King Janak,
Ideal woman Sita born. It’s area is about 0.03% of the world and
0.3% of Asia. On the basis of the physical features of the country,
it has been divided into main three regions. These are Tarai
Region, Hill Region and Himal
Region.
Nepal
is a landlocked country, the bulk area of which is mountainous. However,
in the South beyond the Siwalik Hills, there is a long stretch of apron-like
plane land, the average width of width is 20-22 miles. This long stretch
plane land borders India and is popularly called Medhesh. Whereas people
of mainly Mongol origin live in the hills, the Madhesh is inhabited
by the Aryans whom the Gorkhalis call the Madheshees.
Nepal, where 77% land is covered by rocks, snow, barren mountains and
sloppy hills etc and only 23% land is plane type while Terai covers
17%. Its narrow strip of flat land of fertile soil covers only 17% areas
of the kingdom but more than 50% population of Nepal live in The Terai.
Madheshee (Terain)
people have their own culture and language like Maithili, Bhojpuri,
Abadhi, Urdu but their national or contact language is Hindi
and Hindi is the second language of Nepal.
Tarainews.com.np
is a cyber magazine to give the information of Terai region and Nepal
as well. This site gives information about cultural, social, educational,
agricultural, tourism sports. This site also includes about woman, festivals,
events etc. I would like to request all who want to develop Nepal by
developing the Terai where all resources are available, to send their
articles, views, research documents on the above topics. Besides these
topics you are requested to send the articles whatever you have experiences
about the Terai State in English, Nepali and Hindi. And these documents
will be published in this site. I hope this site will help to know more
about Terain people, resources, opportunities and people will be more
conscious to develop the Terai State because Terai State is the backbone
state of Nepal.
Therefore,
Tarainews.com.np would always welcome constructive
ideas, suggestions and advice of all, individually or institutionally,
for the healthy development of the Terai State. Positive criticism and
concrete ideas always help to improve efforts.
