Eclipse is an ongoing project that looks at the ambiguity and ambivalence that exists around the identity of the people of the Madesh - the Southern belt of Nepal along the Nepal - India border. This region is close to my heart as I was born and raised there, despite being non-Madhesi. Through this project, I attempt to better understand the identity struggles of my Madhesi peers. I try to look into how this border region has been a salient incubator of political grievance and is home to one of my generation’s biggest fight for identity.
