First they came for the Himalis,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a Himali.

Then they came for the Pahadis,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a Pahadi.

Then they came for the Madhesis,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a Madhesi.

Then they came for me
and there was no one left to speak out for me.
