  • Everything I Learned About Nepali Literature Is Wrong | 217
    (ALMOST) EVERYTHING I LEARNED ABOUT NEPALI LITERATURE IS WRONG | 217 Chautari Foundation Lecture 2018 (ALMOST) EVERYTHING I LEARNED ABOUT NEPALI LITERATURE IS WRONG Manjushree Thapa I’ve been rethinking my sense of Nepali literature, and am pleased to have a chance to share my thoughts at Martin Chautari, an organization that I played a very small role in founding back in the 1990s, when it was an informal discussion group among “development” workers.1 Most of us, at the time, were foreign-educated, or actual foreigners. We were well meaning, but we were seeking an intellectual life without any links to Nepal’s own intellectual traditions in the political parties, the universities, the writers and activists. It was particularly under Pratyoush Onta’s leadership that Martin Chautari developed these links and became a site where foreign-educated Nepalis, foreigners, and Nepal’s own intellectual traditions could meet for open debate. Knowledge-generation is a collective enterprise. It is not an endeavor a person undertakes in isolation. I’ve written and spoken before on the thoughts I’ll share here, first in the introduction (Thapa 2017a) to La.Lit, A Literary Magazine Volume 8 (Special issue: Translations from the Margins), which I edited (Thapa 2017b), and then at two talks for the Himalayan Studies Conference at the University of Colorado, in Boulder, in September 2017, and for the Nepal Studies Initiative at the University of Washington, in Seattle, in April 2018. This lecture is a crystallizing of those thoughts, which are still in formation. One caveat: I am not a scholar, but a writer; I am engaged in what Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak calls the “wild practice” (2012: 394).

Here in this research we also try to understand the impacts of the Naga National Movement on the society and on the Naga people. Key Words: AFSPA, Insurgency, Nagaland, Naga Movements, NNC, FGN, NSCN-IM, NSCN-K INTRODUCTION Nagaland is a small state in the North eastern part of India. The Nagas lived in the North East hilly region of India and Myanmar. During the olden days, each Naga village was an independent republic so eventually the Nagas wanted to be free from all outside domination. Every Naga villages was independent and each with their own chiefs who acted as the leader, no other tribe had an interest in ruling over different or any other tribe or village. During an external aggression from foreign invaders all the Naga Chiefs collaborated and fought against the invaders. Nagas have been fighting to British and to the India & Burma for occupying their homeland illegally. The Naga nationalism first emerged in when thousands of Nagas participated in the British War efforts and saw action as members of the British Labor Force in France. However, having been exposed to the outside world and inspired by the material advancement, exposure to other cultures, and the reshaping of the political world by major movements.

    “LIMBUWAN IS OUR HOME-LAND, NEPAL IS OUR COUNTRY”: HISTORY, TERRITORY, AND IDENTITY IN LIMBUWAN’S MOVEMENT A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Dambar Dhoj Chemjong December 2017 © 2017 Dambar Dhoj Chemjong “LIMBUWAN IS OUR HOME, NEPAL IS OUR COUNTRY”: HISTORY, TERRITORY, AND IDENTITY IN LIMBUWAN’S MOVEMENT Dambar Dhoj Chemjong, Ph. D. Cornell University 2017 This dissertation investigates identity politics in Nepal and collective identities by studying the ancestral history, territory, and place-naming of Limbus in east Nepal. This dissertation juxtaposes political movements waged by Limbu indigenous people with the Nepali state makers, especially aryan Hindu ruling caste groups. This study examines the indigenous people’s history, particularly the history of war against conquerors, as a resource for political movements today, thereby illustrating the link between ancestral pasts and present day political relationships. Ethnographically, this dissertation highlights the resurrection of ancestral war heroes and invokes war scenes from the past as sources of inspiration for people living today, thereby demonstrating that people make their own history under given circumstances. On the basis of ethnographic examples that speak about the Limbus’ imagination and political movements vis-à-vis the Limbuwan’s history, it is argued in this dissertation that there can not be a singular history of Nepal. Rather there are multiple histories in Nepal, given that the people themselves are producers of their own history. Based on ethnographic data, this dissertation also aims to debunk the received understanding across Nepal that the history of Nepal was built by Kings.

The important purpose and goal of NSCN was to achieve sovereign Naga State. This research paper focuses on understanding clearly about the NSCN (Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland).

The NSCN do not have full support of the people of Nagaland regarding the working activities in the State of Nagaland. They do not share the same interest in each and every decision. Opinions differ sometimes. The opinion of the Naga people is very important to support the working of NSCN. This study includes the impact of NSCN on the issues of violence in Nagaland and the working and functions of NSCN to set up Sovereign, Naga State.

  • Revealing What Is Dear: the Post-Earthquake Iconisation of the Dharahara, Kathmandu Author: Michael Hutt, SOAS University Of
    This is the version of the article accepted for publication in Journal of Asian Studies published by Cambridge University Press: DOI: https://doi.org/10.1017/S0021911819000172. Accepted version downloaded from SOAS Research Online: http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/30148 Revealing What is Dear: the post-earthquake iconisation of the Dharahara, Kathmandu Author: Michael Hutt, SOAS University of London Abstract On 25 April 2015 central Nepal was struck by a magnitude 7.8 earthquake which killed over 9000 people and displaced 2.8 million. The image of the Dharahara, a nineteenth century minaret which collapsed during the quake, quickly became for many Nepalis an iconic representation not only of the disaster but also of a national determination to recover and rebuild. Edward Simpson has argued that the aftermath of a disaster is ‘a product of the longer history of a locality’ and it is the aftermath ‘that may reveal what is dear’ (Simpson 2013: 53, 50). Drawing upon media and literary discourse in the Nepali language, this article asks why the Dharahara tower loomed so large in the Nepali imagination in the immediate aftermath of the April 2015 earthquake, rather than the country’s severely damaged World Heritage sites, and why it became a rallying point for a resurgence of Nepali hill nationalism. Keywords: Disasters, nationalism, heritage, Nepal, public memory, politics thado nak samasta kantipurko he ucchata kritrim! jyami lakh thiyau pavitra pasina he meghko ashram! seto stambha sukirtiko Dharahara! deu malai bida! he aglo prahari sari nagarko!
