This research article has little to do with the text, emphasizing the discourse on the epistemological crisis [EC] studied in elite class Nepalese society. The epistemological crisis [EC] is a state devoid of logic, reasoning, and evidence. People lack when they create discourse for the manipulation of the circulation of power. This is analytical work based on the power abuse of one group over others through manipulated social discourse. The purpose of this research is to highlight how dominated groups, especially Madheshis, resist such abuse. The method employed uses Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) exclusively in line with the concepts of Van Dijk, Derrida, and Foucault. The discourse was analyzed to detect and analyze whatever hidden ideologies that might lie behind the use of language in different contexts and situations. The main finding is how Madheshis, a marginalized community in Nepal, are the victims of the false ideologies created by the elite class society through false public discourse against them and how they perceive those discourses and the power exercised upon them. It also highlights how the epistemological crisis [EC] fosters hate culture in the elite class against Madheshis
