बुटवल :  ‘समयमै धान रोप्न पाइएन भने फल लाग्दैन, रुपन्देहीको छेवैको खेतमा बुङबुङ्ती धुलो उडेको छ। मध्यअसारमा रोपाइँ सकेर हिलो पखाल्ने यस वर्ष असार १५ सम्म १० प्रतिशत पनि रोपाइँ हुन सकेको छैन। साता दिनअघि जोताएर रोप्न तयारी गरेको खेतमा पानी छैन। आकाशमा बादल मडारिँदा पानी नै नपरी बादल हराउँछ ।
प्रदेश ५ को करिब साढे ७ लाख हेक्टर जमिनमध्ये बर्खामा करिब ४० प्रतिशतमा मात्रै सिँचाइ सुविधा छ। धान रोप्न ६० प्रतिशत क्षेत्रमा आकाशे पानीको भर पर्नुपरेको छ। ब्याडमा राखेको बीउ जोगाउनै कठिन छ। ‘कुलो नहुँदा बर्सेनि यस्तै हैरानी छ।’ पप्पबाट तान्न सडक छेउको घोलामा पानी जम्नै पर्छ। अहिले ती घोला नै सुकेका छन्।

At many places, it is forbidden for the people belonging to lower class to enter in temples. People of high classes have designed social norms to completely ostracize lower class people. People of low caste can’t marry in high caste families. High caste families even forbid their children to play with the children from lower caste families. Lower class families have to spend their lives in complete seclusion and cannot intermingle with other families. In many areas, people even restrict lower cast people to drink water from taps that are used by high-class families. We are in 21st century; however, appalling conditions due to racial discriminations still persists and inflict lower caste people.
