message: Well, most of terai have no swampy or marshy lands. Right from Assam to Punjab we don't really find any swampy or marshy areas. Surely, they are flooded during heavy monsoons, but they aren't the only ones to remain so.
Many old references do find terai to be wet and swampy, but it's hard to ascertain that from present scenario in terai.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scyfie (talk • contribs) 14:16, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

message: Hi, not sure what you mean by "resettle", the source makes it clear that the Maithil people are indigenous to Eastern Terai and Northern Bihar. They wish for Mithila, Nepal to rejoin Mithila, India. Damien2016 (talk) 18:43, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks. But currently there is no 'Mithila' province or other such administrative entity in Nepal with that name. ?? BhagyaMani (talk) 19:19, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Repeated removal of sourced content 

message: True is that the rulers of Nepal passed several laws for generating income from holdings in the Terai, as documented by Regmi in the 1970s. But the system of Ijara -- i.e. the homestead taxes collected by Ijaradars -- was used in the central hills, but apparently not in the Terai. See Karky (1982) who refers to Regmi's (1978) "Thatched huts and stucco palaces" in this regard. The income generating system used in the Terai was birta, i.e. the granting of land to individuals : see Dahal (1983) who also refers to Regmi (1976; Landownership in Nepal). So therefore I suggest to just remove reference to the "Ijaradars, Subbas and Subedars" in the article. -- BhagyaMani (talk) 11:25, 22 April 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I did certainly not mean to suggest complete removal of the sentence, but only the ref to means of income generation via collectors. The Shahs and later Ranas allotted land to contractors who had to pay a nominal tax, i.e. the 'birta' system. Interesting also that still today, there are several VDCs in the Terai with the name '.. Birta', e.g. Gamhariya Birta, Krishnapur Birta. -- BhagyaMani (talk) 12:33, 22 April 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Terai region 

message: There are many contradictions in this page called 'Terai'. 
1) In introduction, Terai is defined as that portion of land which is situated south of shivalik but in geography section, terai also includes the land which is north of shivalik, called 'inner terai'.How this can be?
2) It is generally accepted that terai bordering India, which is commonly called outer terai in Nepal, is situated in Indo-Gangetic plain.  Nepal's Department of mines and geology clearly says that terai /lowland region bordering india to the shivalik is in Indo-Gangetic plain. See this http://www.petroleumnepal.gov.np/content/geological_setting.html.
3)Is terai a marshy land and fully forested ? If yes ,then when was it marshy land, at the time when Prithvi Narayan Shah captured Terai or even before it?
When British Captain Kinloch in 1764 A.D. travelled through what is now called terai was not marshy. After that kirkpatrick in late 18th century, Hamilton in early 19th century and many other travellers travelled this part of the world none see that the whole land is marshy. 
In the imperial gazztar there is topic named 'Terryani( Terplain'. In this topic with the reference of kirkpatrick, Hamilton , Hodgson and many more that, " In Nepal, 'terai' word is also used in that part of land which is on the Great fertile plain of Hindustan."

replies: text: Re 1)+ 2): I suggest you read the definitions in ref'ed sources. Re 3): Yes, there are lots of marshes in the forests of the Terai, some perennial, some inundated during monsoon seasons. – BhagyaMani (talk) 11:51, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
