Some Nepalese citizens were discussing the proposals on the adoption of federalism in their new Constitution. This is what some of them said:

Khag Raj : I don’t like federalism. It would lead to reservation of seats for different caste groups as in India.
Sarita : Ours is not a very big country. We don’t need federalism.
Babu Lal : I am hopeful that Teria areas will get more autonomy if they get their own state government.
Ram Ganesh : I like federalism because it will mean that powers that were earlier enjoyed by the king will now be exercised by our elected representatives.

If you were participating in this conversation what would be your response to each of these?
