Shortly after the Jana Andolan II, or People’s Movement of 2006 , the coalition of political and social forces that brought down the monarchy and reinstated parliament started to be challenged by people from the Madhesh. Prompted by the interim legislature’s delay in addressing regional issues and major political parties’ perceived lack of interest in addressing their concerns, Madheshi leaders called for protests which, rather unexpectedly, saw a significant turn out across the Tarai region and created a genuine Madheshi Andolan; one which disrupted the existing social status quo in the Madhesh and changed the face of Nepali politics profoundly. This field bulletin examines the migration patterns in the Central Tarai after the Madheshi Andolan of 2007. It focuses in particular on the migration of Pahadis(people of Hill-origin) from the Central Tarai to the Hills or towns along the East-West Highway, still within the Tarai region. Furthermore, it looks at the migration destinations chosen by Madheshis (people of Tarai-origin) and attempts to clarify what motivated people to relocate as well as some of the implications of this resettlement.
