Dalits in Madhesh bear the brunt the untouchability despite legal reforms 

Recently, Shubha Narayan Ram (Chamar) of Khasera, Sonama rural municipality in the Mahottari district of Madhesh, gave birth to a son and hosted a feast for sadhus (hermits).

Around 150 sadhus and 125 local people attended the feast. Among them was a local Bhikari Mahato. Mahato was happy to have attended the feast, but later it turned out to be a cause of his social expulsion. His community does not invite him to any event these days just because he attended a feast hosted by a Dalit.
