Kailas Histories: Renunciate Traditions and the Construction of Himalayan Sacred Geography Vasudha Pande 211 NOTES ON CONTRIBUTORS 215 Guest Editorial As part of the events commemorating the 200th anniversary in 2016 of the Treaty of Sugauli, which established permanent diplomatic relations between Britain and Nepal, the Britain Nepal Academic Council, with David Gellner as lead organizer, held a one-day history workshop at SOAS on 23 March 2016, with funding kindly provided by Oxford University’s All Souls’ College. This special issue of EBHR brings together revised versions of six of the papers presented, together with a BNAC lecture, which was delivered the same day though not formally part of the workshop. The commemoration of the anniversary was itself the subject of some controversy for two reasons. First, some argued that the Treaty of Sugauli was not the real starting point of the relationship between the two countries because there had been extensive diplomatic contact between the two sides beforehand – most significantly during Knox’s few months as resident in Kathmandu in 1802-3. Second, the celebratory tone of the commemorative events jarred somewhat with the fact that Sugauli was not only an agreement to establish ‘peace and perpetual friendship’ but also an acknowledgement of Nepal’s military defeat and loss of one third of her pre-war territory. There was even some uncertainty on how precisely to date the treaty. The document was actually signed in December 1815, after Ochterloney’s success against Amar Singh Thapa in what is now the Indian state of Uttarakhand, but the ratification was only delivered on 4 March 2016, after a further round of fighting had put the British within striking distance of Kathmandu. Choosing the March anniversary did, however, made sense as it marked the actual end of hostilities, and also allowed a clear separation from the 2015 celebration of 200 years of Gurkha service with the army of the East India Company and then under the British Crown. The workshop presentations did not focus specifically on the Treaty of Sugauli itself or the arguments which some Nepalis have recently raised about its validity under national law, but covered many aspects of the Nepal-Britain relationship, including both conflict and co-operation. They attracted an enthusiastic audience including not only Nepal 4 EBHR 50-51 specialists but also a number from outside academia, including members of the UK’s Nepali community, which now stands at around 100,000. Tom Bell’s paper examines the East India Company’s unsuccessful attempt in 1767 to come to the aid of the Newar kingdoms of the Kathmandu Valley and sees Kinloch’s failure as due mainly to adverse weather and inadequate grain supplies. He suggests that had a second attempt been made, as Kinloch himself urged, it might well have succeeded. The survey of the historiography of the episode that concludes the essay shows how both officialdom and the history profession largely forgot about it until pioneering work by Indian researchers in the mid-20th century. There is a partial similarity here with treatment of the 1814-16 conflict which in recent decades has been the focus of great attention but which the British once wanted to forget (Pemble 2009). Bernardo Michael focuses on the territorial dispute leading to the 1814-1816 war, the topic of his monograph Statemaking and Territory, which is the most thorough examination of the issue yet published. He emphasizes the complexity of tenurial arrangements along the frontier and how a major factor was the East India Company’s desire for a clear line of demarcation, in contrast to the more fluid arrangement that indigenous states were used to. Also highlighted is the role of local landholders who rendered the region less ‘legible’ by registering their claims with more than one authority. Michael concludes with a brief account of ‘spatial anxiety’ in another part of South Asia: the frontier between India and Bangladesh, where the many mini-enclaves are only now being eliminated by exchanges of territory. In Krishna Prasad Adhikari’s paper, the focus switches from war to peace with his investigation into Moti Lal Singh, the crossing sweeper taken into Jang Bahadur Rana’s employment whilst he was in London as ambassador to Britain in 1850. As the first known Nepali resident in the UK, and also the first to have had a substantial piece of writing in English published under his name, Moti Lal is of particular significance for the UK’s present-day Nepali community. He is also something of a puzzle because of discrepancies between his own account and other sources on the embassy and also because we are uncertain how far his article in the New Monthly Magazine was his own work rather than that of one or more literary collaborators. Guest Editorial 5 Jang Bahadur Rana is again part of the story in Sanjeev Uprety’s discussion of the models of masculinity he and a later Rana prime minister, Chandra Shamsher, presented to foreign and domestic audiences. Within Nepal, the loss of caste status, against which those who travelled abroad had to guard carefully, would also entail a loss of masculinity, reminding us, perhaps, of the saying that ‘a woman has no caste.’ For the British, an ‘exotic’, traditional South Asian ruler could be seen as masculine in contrast to the supposedly effeminate Indian ‘baboos’ but with the uncontrolled, irrational masculinity which upper- class Britons ascribed both to their own working class and to Gurkha soldiers. Chandra’s own use of European and especially military dress brought him more into line with ‘rational’ upper-class British masculinity, but had to be carefully balanced with strict observance of Hindu norms. The need for different performances for different audiences is also brought

  • In the Name of Krishna: the Cultural Landscape of a North Indian Pilgrimage Town
    In the Name of Krishna: The Cultural Landscape of a North Indian Pilgrimage Town A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Sugata Ray IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Frederick M. Asher, Advisor April 2012 © Sugata Ray 2012 Acknowledgements They say writing a dissertation is a lonely and arduous task. But, I am fortunate to have found friends, colleagues, and mentors who have inspired me to make this laborious task far from arduous. It was Frederick M. Asher, my advisor, who inspired me to turn to places where art historians do not usually venture. The temple city of Khajuraho is not just the exquisite 11th-century temples at the site. Rather, the 11th-century temples are part of a larger visuality that extends to contemporary civic monuments in the city center, Rick suggested in the first class that I took with him. I learnt to move across time and space. To understand modern Vrindavan, one would have to look at its Mughal past; to understand temple architecture, one would have to look for rebellions in the colonial archive. Catherine B. Asher gave me the gift of the Mughal world – a world that I only barely knew before I met her. Today, I speak of the Islamicate world of colonial Vrindavan. Cathy walked me through Mughal mosques, tombs, and gardens on many cold wintry days in Minneapolis and on a hot summer day in Sasaram, Bihar. The Islamicate Krishna in my dissertation thus came into being.

    JOURNAL OF ASIAN ARTS, CULTURE AND LITERATURE (JAACL) VOL 2, NO 1: MARCH 2021 Riveting Nepal: A Cultural Flash! By Ms. Mahua Sen [email protected] Abstract “A Nepali outlook, pace and philosophy had prevented us being swamped by our problems. In Nepal, it was easier to take life day by day.” -Jane Wilson-Howarth, A Glimpse of Eternal Snows: A Journey of Love and Loss in the Himalayas. We do sniff the essence of Nepal in these lines! Squeezed in between China and India, Nepal is one of the most fascinating places to visit on earth. Home to the awe-inspiring Mt. Everest, the birthplace of Lord Buddha, this exquisite country stretches diverse landscapes from the Himalayan Mountains in the North to the flat expansive plains in the south. The birth of the nation is dated to Prithvi Narayan Shah's conquest of the Kathmandu Valley kingdoms in 1768. Deep gorges, sky-scraping mountains, exuberant culture and charismatic people – Nepal is the ideal destination not only for adventurers but also for people seeking a peaceful sojourn in the lap of serenity. Keywords Nepal, culture, festival, Hindu, Buddhism 1 JOURNAL OF ASIAN ARTS, CULTURE AND LITERATURE (JAACL) VOL 2, NO 1: MARCH 2021 Festival Flavors Customs and culture vary from one part of Nepal to another. The capital city Kathmandu is drenched in a rich drapery of cultures, a unique silhouette to form a national identity. Nepali culture portrays an amalgamation of Indo-Aryan and Tibeto-Mongolian influences, the result of a long history of migration, conquest, and trade.

    73 Utopia and Ideology among the Magars: Lakhan Thapa versus Mao Dzedong? Marie Lecomte-Tilouine The Magars form the largest minority in Nepal, with one and a half million indi- viduals recorded in the 1991 census. They are scattered throughout the country, but are more concentrated in their original territory, the Magarant, located in west- central Nepal. The majority of Magars are peasants, but Magar men are numerous in the Indian and the Nepalese armies and often emigrate temporarily to India to earn money. Since the 1990s the Magars have been closely linked with Maobadi activism, both as victims and actors, especially in the districts of Rolpa, Rukum, and Pyuthan.1 Despite the great number of articles that have been published in newspapers, information on this secret war is scarce and difficult to analyse, because it often originates from biased sources such as the police, journalists who have not done fieldwork, leaders of the movement, or villagers talking from hear- say. According to the latter, who are perhaps the best source for an understanding of the sociological origin of the guerrillas, the majority of the Maobadis are young men, comparatively educated, who have no hope of finding salaried work and are unwilling to work as farmers like their fathers. They live in groups in the forests, where they hide during the day. Villagers often say, “During the day the policemen walk, during the night the Maobadis walk.” Maobadi armed groups mainly attack police stations and their aim, according to the people, is to get rid of the police as well as the wealthy men.2 Many wealthy families in the hills owned lands both in the Tarai and around their houses, but they usually preferred to spend most of 1 On this subject, see de Sales (this issue), and on the Nepalese Maoist ideology in general, see Ramirez (1997).

  • The British Learning of Hindustani
    The British Learning of Hindustani Tariq Rahman The British considered Hindustani, an urban language of north India, the lingua franca of the whole country. They associated it with (easy) Urdu and not modern, or Sanskritized, Hindi. They learned it to exercise power and, because of that, were not careful of mastering the polite usages of the language or its grammar. The British perceptions of the language spread it widely throughout India, especially the urban areas, making it much more widespread than it was when they had arrived. Moreover, their tilt towards Urdu associated it with the Muslims and the language was officially discarded in favour of Hindi in India after independence. The literature of Anglo-India (used here in the earlier sense for the British in India and not for those born of marriages between Europeans and Indians as it came to be understood later) is full of words from Hindustani (also called Urdu by some authors). Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) can hardly be enjoyed unless one is provided with a glossary of these words and even then the authenticity of the experience of the raj is lost in the translation and the interpretation. Many of those who had been in India used words of Hindustani as an identity marker. According to Ivor Lewis, author of a dictionary of Anglo-Indian words: They [the Hindustani words] could not have been much used except (with fading relevance) among a declining number of 20 Pakistan Vision Vol. 8 No. 2 retired Anglo-Indians in the evening of their lives spent in their salubrious English compounds and cantonments.

  • Post-Rana Ties Between Nepali Royalty and National Park Staff
    Kings as Wardens and Wardens as Kings: Post-Rana Ties between Nepali Royalty and National Park Staff Nina Bhatt This article locates Nepali national park staff (game scouts, rangers and park wardens) in the context of their historical ties with monarchy. The pre-andolan (1951–90) accounts by park staff show how their individual and collective identities were shaped through encounters with royalty, which informed their everyday practices. The social relations, professional goals, and familial desires envisioned by government servants were linked to their perceived closeness with the Nepali kings and through specific events such as royal hunts. Historically, park staff have displayed particularly strong regard and allegiances for the royal family since Nepali kings sanctioned much of Nepal’s early conservation efforts and because monarchs espoused close ties with these officials in the setting up of national parks. I NTRODUCTION NATIONAL PARK STAFF in Nepal have traditionally viewed the Nepalese royal family in varied and often mutually conflicting ways.1 Royals were avid hunters, yet be- came selfless conservationists.2 Royals were the consumers of nature for private amusement, yet in quick succession they demarcated forested lands in the interest of public consumption and national good.3 For most game park staff, any en- counters with the royal family in the nature preserves are a source of inspiration fundamental to identity construction.4 The 1990 revolution (andolan) was a watershed in the relationship between royalty and rangers.5 During the pre-andolan period (1951–90),6 the royal family’s interest in nature and in the well-being of park bureaucrats (expressed by frequent personal visits) was crucial in shaping a largely positive world-view for government officials.

  • Epicentre to Aftermath Edited by Michael Hutt, Mark Liechty, Stefanie Lotter Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-83405-6 — Epicentre to Aftermath Edited by Michael Hutt, Mark Liechty, Stefanie Lotter Frontmatter More Information Epicentre to Aftermath Epicentre to Aftermath makes both empirical and conceptual contributions to the growing body of disaster studies literature by providing an analysis of a disaster aftermath that is steeped in the political and cultural complexities of its social and historical context. Drawing together scholars from a range of disciplines, this book highlights the political, historical, cultural, artistic, emotional, temporal, embodied and material dynamics at play in the earthquake aftermath. Crucially, it shows that the experience and meaning of a disaster are not given or inevitable, but are the outcome of situated human agency. The book suggests a whole new epistemology of disaster consequences and their meanings, and dramatically expands the field of knowledge relevant to understanding disasters and their outcomes. Michael Hutt is a scholar of Nepali literature and Emeritus Professor of Nepali and Himalayan Studies at SOAS, University of London. He has authored and edited fourteen books and over fifty articles and book chapters on Nepali and Himalayan topics. He co-edited, with Pratyoush Onta, Political Change and Public Culture in Post-1990 Nepal, which was published by the Press in 2017. Mark Liechty is Professor of Anthropology and History at the University of Illinois at Chicago. He is a cultural anthropologist by training and has been a student of Nepali and South Asian culture and history for more than three decades. He is the author of influential books on modern Nepal and a oundingf co-editor of the journal Studies in Nepali History and Society.
