After the armed groups of Madhes (Terai) realized there was nothing to gain from pointless murders and abductions ostensibly in the name of liberation of Madhesis, they started abducting their own Madhesi brothers since the wealthy Pahadis had long left the region for the good. They started extorting money in the name of donations, ostensibly to fund their quest for Madhesis’ liberation. Uma Singh, a Madhesi woman stood tall against them. She was fearless and wanted the truth to come out in the public so that people could know what was cooking in their training camps. That was not to be. Maoists murdered anyone who stood against them during their ‘Peoples’ revoultion’. Madhesi armed outfits have based their ideology on the Maoists and so they did what Maoist principle expected them to do. They murdered Uma Singh, a journalist who spoke truth and rejected to bow against their atrocities; she was murdered most brutally and in a rather cowardly fashion. A group of 16 masked armed men entered her house and ended her life because she would not end writing the truth despite their repeated threats. But to those barbarians who murdered Uma Singh, I have to say this, “Truth always prevails. You killed one Uma, but now ten Uma will rise against you. You will be defeated.”
