Terai People's Liberation Front

The Terai People's Liberation Front (TPLF) was a political organization in Nepal representing the interests of the Madhesi people living in the Terai region, the fertile southern plains. Formed in the late 1990s, it sought greater political rights, recognition, and development for the Madhesi community, who felt marginalized by the central government. TPLF engaged in protests and negotiations to address issues like representation, citizenship, and regional development. It played a significant role in Nepal's political changes, including advocating for federalism and inclusion of Madhesi voices in the nation's governance.
