If a new democratic government comes to power and oppresses the Magars this demand would remain. But if a New Democratic government gives Magars equality and opportunity in every aspect, they will not demand a separate autonomy, but will participate in the New Democratic government. They are hopeful that the Maoists will give the Magar people equality in all aspects of society and will not be compelled to make a separate nation. Some farms are worked collectively, and at harvest time things are divided up. In the forest the people look after the grassland as communal property to be used by everyone.
People live very closely together, sometimes many generations in one house.
And among the Magar there is more equality between women and men. When the MLF goes to the masses we first give priority to the indigenous culture and language and problems of social and economic conditions, exposing how the Magars are dominated by Hinduism. We have to prevent our culture and language from disappearing. From a social point of view, Magars are very backward and high castes ignore us. National politics are in the hands of other castes and give no power to the Magars.
