  • Swarthmore College Bal Gopal Shrestha. 2015. the Newars of Sikkim
    BOOK REVIEWS | 439 of engrossing quality that listening to your grandfather fondly reminisce about his life does. Students and acquaintances of Baral will definitely find a great deal to appreciate in his autobiography, and for other people, it is a sometimes exhausting but ultimately rewarding read. Abha Lal Swarthmore College Bal Gopal Shrestha. 2015. The Newars of Sikkim: Reinventing Language, Culture, and Identity in the Diaspora. Kathmandu: Vajra Books. This ethnographical work is by far the most comprehensive account of the Newars in the diaspora. Based on the fieldwork among the Newars in Sikkim, it argues that power politics compels the subjects to expand the networks of relation and power to adjust in the alien culture. Then they seek to connect to their home tradition and language. Shrestha has published widely on the Nepali religious rituals, Hinduism, Buddhism, ethnic nationalism, and the Maoist movement. His previous book The Sacred Town of Sankhu: The Anthropology of Newar Ritual, Religion and Sankhu in Nepal (2012) was an ethnographic account of the Newars in their homeland. In this book, Shrestha studies the restructuring of the ethnic identity in the diaspora. He considers ritual practice – for the Newars, the guñhãs (especially the traditional funeral association, si: guthi:) – as a marker of such identity. Based on the finding that this practice has been abandoned by the Newars in Sikkim, he raises the following questions: How do ritual traditions function in a new historical and social context? How are rituals invented under altered circumstances? What is identity constructed through transnational linkages over long distances? On the theoretical level, Shrestha attempts to satisfy nine major features of Diaspora proposed in Robin Cohen’s Global Diaspora: An Introduction (1997: 180) by taking the legendary Laxmi Das Kasaju, who left Nepal (feature a) to save his life after the rise of Jangabahadur Rana in 1846.
