Life Mother wants to hear from the heart of the child about the difficult times. Kalika thinks back to the time she left four decades ago and sighs with her son, 'I raised children without asking about grief, without a job, carrying heavy loads, doing fairs, and carrying the head of manure. I grew up with a lot of struggle.

In the Law, Justice and Human Rights Committee meeting held at Singh Darbar on 29th, Member of Parliament and Congress Joint General Minister Jeevan Pariyar opined that former King Gyanendra Shah should be summoned to Parliament for violating human rights. Soon after, he had to deal with inappropriate and insensitive comments on social media. The tinge of caste discrimination was seen throughout Facebook's 'comments'.
Those 'comments' did not stop burning even on Saturday. Along with the morning rain, Pariyar was muttering with a faint smile on his face, "I have given the idea." Thoughts can be countered. It is very heartbreaking to be insulted in a racially based manner. I couldn't sleep at night seeing that.
He entered politics with the intention of eradicating the discrimination that he had fought against in the society. But even when he reached from the streets to the parliament, he was shocked to see that the same discrimination was burning in the society. At that time, I remembered mothers like my own mother, whose eyes are filled with tears of discrimination and grief. I walked to wipe the tears of those mothers, how much more will my heart cry when I see this?
Jeevan's mother lived with a restless heart for a long time while raising small children. On the ups and downs of the hill Kalika Pariyar was living on the sidelines, oppressed by the weight of the caste system as heavy as the mountain. The alleged upper caste administrators were oppressive even in name. In citizenship, the 'ka' of Kali was removed and made Kali. But due to Kalika's struggle, the children carved their own path. Jeevan, the eldest son, is currently at the level of policy making, not only the joint general minister of the Congress, but also established as an influential person in politics. Now the 72-year-old Kalika is happy remembering this leap made by her children. What if this peaceful mind is broken again by the insensitive insults that came to him? Life is lost.
Sometimes Kalika gets scared. Rumors of his son becoming a minister once reached his ears. Some even congratulated. She was waiting for the good news. But the name of life in the cabinet did not stick. Remembering that, Kalika says, "This politics is not a good thing, father." If I had taken a permanent job instead...'

New happiness was added to the family of Kalika and Sugghar Bahadur Pariyar in 2033 at Phalangkot in Kaski. They were afraid, 'This happiness is going to burst like water bubbles!' Before that, two children did not live even after being born. A new hope sprouted while the pain of a lost child burned. How to protect this happiness? At the same time, a jogi comes to the house asking for alms. They donated children to Jogi and again 'bought' from Jogi.
After that, the boy's nickname became 'Jogi'. One day the boy walked across the school yard. For the first time, his real name was written there – Jeevan Pariyar. Jeevan ponders over his real name, 'This name was also given by the mother to be immortal.' After Jeevan, a brother and a sister were born.
When Jeevan was one and a half years old, they migrated from Phalangkot to Syastri. There was a large settlement on the banks of the Madi. There was also arable land. "They had migrated to Phalangkot because their son's future would be dark," says Jeevan.

Raising children was not easy. Jeevan wants to hear about that difficult time from his mother's heart and asks Kalika, who is in Pokhara, over the phone, "Tell me, mother, how difficult was it to raise us?" Kalika flashes back to the time she left four decades ago. She tells the sighs of those times over the phone, "Don't ask about sadness." Brought up with a lot of struggle. I was brought up without a job, carrying heavy loads, doing fairs, carrying manure.' In the morning, when the sun set in the courtyard, she would have carried two or three heavy loads of straw. There were long ups and downs. How could mother have carried such a heavy weight?', he thinks. His farming did not even kill hunger. At the age of 8, when he saw Baa digging other people's fields with a funny face, Jeevan thought, "Others have land for their own land." Why is ours less?'
In school life, it was not only lunch, but also buying kapikalam. Ba was sometimes in Kathmandu and sometimes in Delhi for work. All the responsibilities of the house were on the shoulders of the mother. Mother was good at collecting debts. She did not mince her words. She used to return the amount taken with interest within the specified time.
Slowly the mother raised the situation in the house by making her sad. By adding buffaloes, goats, tailoring work at home, they strengthened the financial situation.

The mother did not let her children go astray. And, they didn't even put a full stop to their studies. Once Jeevan's sister Nirmala failed in class 5. The villagers listened and said, 'There is no need to teach more than this. Enough. Kalika listened to them with one ear and dismissed them with the other ear. She did not stop her daughter's education. In the second year, Nirmala stood first in her class. My sister also completed her master's degree later. Now she is in Norway,' Jeevan is proud. Jeevan is currently studying second year MPhil in Political Science. He is doing his Masters in Sociology. He has also done BALLB.
The same eldest son, who was taught through grief, passed SLC in 049. He was the first person from the Dalit community to pass SLC in the village. Father, at that time there were people who were angry that Damai's son had studied. But I did as I told,' says the mother with a smile on her mind.
Thought to go for further studies at Prithvi Narayan Campus in Pokhara after SLC. But mother did not have the financial capacity to teach. Some people said, "You don't have wealth, why are you moving to Pokhara?" Can they? She replied, "If I can or not, I will teach my son." Jeevan had taught in the village school for 4 months after passing his SLC. After passing, he stopped teaching. Then plan to study on campus.
Some used to complain that 'Damai's son' read too much. Kalika, who had swallowed everything, gets excited now remembering, 'I struggled ten ways even to show those who told me not to study, father. Now the children named me.
Not only for the children, but also for the daughter-in-law, the mother thought as much as the children.
In 053, Jeevan married Sita Periyar. After marriage, Sita IA was preparing for her first year. They lived together in Pokhara with a tent. At that time, as soon as the daughter-in-law was born, it was thought that she would be brought to do housework. But the mother behaved like a daughter," Jeevan says.

The lack of life in school life was also a big problem. Whether it is a school or a tea shop. At someone's wedding or party. There was hardly a place where discrimination was not felt. When he felt thirsty in school, his supposedly upper caste friend would easily drink water from the bucket in the office. But when he had to leave, he had to go with a friend of the supposed upper caste. The friend had to drink the water poured from the jug.
He used to reach the house of the supposedly upper community holding his mother's hand. Even there, their lives were divided by their separate behavior. Across from the house was a temple at Lamjung. Others inside the temple used to be
s. They were forbidden to enter. Their kitchen was separate during marriage and fasting. Expressing her broken heart, the mother would say from time to time, "This is how this society is, father. What can we do?
In 046, Jeevan was studying in 8th standard. School was closed due to strike. Along with his senior brothers, he went on the agitation against the Panchayat system. shouted slogans. He also ate kutai. He didn't even know what the organization was. The brothers said, 'You should be in the Navy.' Then he joined the Navy. His political journey started there.
father He was gradually becoming active in politics. In 049, father Sugghar Bahadur was also elected as the ward chairman. Due to political association and family environment, he became active in political journey. While active, he thought that he should fight against the caste system. "After we started studying on campus, we organized with the awareness that we should fight against discrimination. I became the founding secretary of Nepal Dalit Association Kaski in 2005. Later, I also became the Central General Secretary,' he tries to explore his political travelogue.
Jeevan passed BA in 054. After that he started teaching in the village school. In school too, he felt caste discrimination from fellow teachers. He also raised the voice of resistance there. The teaching profession was also broken. Nimavi had a post in the village. I left the village after I didn't get a job," he says.
The students broke down and cried while leaving the school.
Even when he was in the village, he gathered people from the Dalit community and started a campaign to not wash the dishes he ate in the tea shop. Struggled to make the separate kitchens used in weddings and fasts a single one. During the conflict, his family was in trouble. Mother was the most affected. Father was the ward president. The government side used to come and order, 'Which house is the house of the Maoists?' The Maoists would get angry and say, 'This is the house of the Congress. Congressmen are feudal.'' The mother, who was suffering from the tension of both sides, was afraid until the armed war.

After 2062/63 something changed in the country. The political journey of a long life had also taken shape. He was sure that he would get a ticket in 064 but was disappointed. For the second time in the Constituent Assembly elections in 1970, he got the ticket of the member of Parliament proportionally. He was elected. This gave the most happy parents. All the people in Kaski respected the son before the parents. Seeing that, both of their eyes were wet with joy.
Once upon a time a coincidence occurred. Jeevan and his wife Sita were honored by the mother group when they reached home on Dasaint 073. Sita was then the LDO of Dolakha. Moreover, the president of the mother group is also her own mother. The mother joyfully recounted her grief for her children from the platform. His mother's words changed his life. At that time, sitting in the seat of the chief guest, he started thinking, 'My mother gave me this much sense and here I am.' He was also elected as a Member of Parliament in the 079 House of Representatives elections.
Sometimes the mother is very worried to see her son who reaches home after a short time. She thinks that he is hungry. She opens her bag to see if there is any money. And, taking out a few thousand notes, she says, 'Bring, oil now.'
She doesn't take it. She acts like she is angry. They take life even if it is to keep their mother's heart. We understand the allowance, father. Don't mind your mother. Even if the son earns, he wants to keep it in the pocket. I don't think so," says Kalika with a laugh. Kalika's next trick is, 'Let's see if my son becomes a minister. With motherly love flowing from her eyes, she says, "There is only one wish before death."
The goal of life is not only to become a minister, but to make the hearts of many mothers like her mother happy. The muffled sound of pats on the back is yet to bring him to the surface. "Now I have to think for many mothers, I have to think for many children," he says with a bright face, "I got that courage from my mother."
