  • Cultural Crisis of Caste Renouncer: a Study of Dasnami Sanyasi Identity in Nepal
    Molung Educational Frontier 91 Cultural Crisis of Caste Renouncer: A Study of Dasnami Sanyasi Identity in Nepal Madhu Giri* Abstract Jat NasodhanuJogikois a famous mocking proverb to denote the caste status of Sanyasi because the renouncer has given up traditional caste rituals set by socio-cultural institutions. In other cultural terms, being Sanyasi means having dissociation himself/herself with whatever caste career or caste-based social rank one might imagine. To explore the philosophical foundation of Sanyasi, they sacrificed caste rituals and fire (symbol of power, desire, and creation). By the virtues of sacrifice, Sanyasi set images of universalism, higher than caste order, and otherworldly being. Therefore, one should not ask the renouncer caste identity. Traditionally, Sanyasi lived in Akhada or Matha,and leadership, including ownership of the Matha transformed from Guru to Chela. On the contrary, DasnamiMahanta started marital and private life, which is paradoxical to the philosophy of Sanyasi.Very few of them are living in Matha,but the ownership of the property of Mathatransformed from father to son. The land and property of many Mathas transformed from religious Guthi to private property. In terms of cultural practices, DasnamiSanyasi adopted high caste culture and rituals in their everyday life. Old Muluki Ain 1854 ranked them under Tagadhari, although they did notassert twice-born caste in Nepal. Central Bureau of Statistics, including other government institutions of Nepal, listed Dasnamiunder the line ofChhetri and Thakuri. The main objective of the paper is to explore the transformation of Dasnami institutional characteristics and status from caste renunciation identity to caste rejoinder and from images of monasticism, celibacy, universalism, otherworldly orientation to marital, individualistic lay life.

  • Country Poverty Analysis (Detailed) Nepal
    Country Poverty Analysis (Detailed) Nepal Country Partnership Strategy: Nepal, 2013–20172013-2017 COUNTRY POVERTY ANALYSIS: NEPAL A. Background 1. This country poverty analysis draws mainly on the National Living Standards Surveys (NLSS), which was first conducted in 1996, and carried out again in 2004 and 2011. 1 The NLSS estimates the national poverty line following the cost of basic needs approach, which is the expenditure value in local currency required to fulfill both food and non food basic needs. The NLSS III findings can be disaggregated into fourteen analytical domains (mountains, urban- Kathmandu, urban-hill, urban-terai, eastern rural hills, rural central hills, rural western hills, rural mid- and far-western hills, rural eastern terai, rural central terai, rural western terai, and rural mid- and far-western terai. This analysis also draws from the Nepal Demographic Health Survey (2011) and the Census (2011) for information on health and access to basic services. B. Income Poverty and its Distribution 2. Using the national poverty line, poverty incidence has been falling at an accelerated pace from 41.8% to 30.9% between 1996 and 2004 and further to 25.2% of the overall population in 2011. This remarkable decline occurred in the backdrop of a significant increase in the national poverty line from NRs7,696 per capita per year in 2004 to NRs19,261 per capita per year in 2011 to account for a higher quality consumption pattern . 3. Using international poverty line of $1.25 per day, the incidence of poverty has declined steadily from 68.0% in 1996 to 53.1% in 2004 and 24.8% in 2011.

  • Proceedings of International Conference on Climate Change Innovation and Resilience for Sustainable Livelihood 12-14 January 2015 Kathmandu, Nepal
    Proceedings of International Conference on Climate Change Innovation and Resilience for Sustainable Livelihood 12-14 January 2015 Kathmandu, Nepal Organizers: The Small Earth Nepal (SEN) City University of New York (CUNY), USA Colorado State University (CSU), USA Department of Hydrology and Meteorology (DHM), Government of Nepal Nepal Academy of Science and Technology (NAST), Nepal Agriculture and Forestry University (AFU), Nepal Nepal Agricultural Research Council (NARC), Nepal Editors: Dr. Soni Pradhananga, University of Rhode Island, USA Jeeban Panthi, The Small Earth Nepal, Nepal Dilli Bhattarai, The Small Earth Nepal Executive Summary Climate change is one of the most crucial environmental, social, and economic issues the world is facing today. Some impacts such as increasing heat stress, more intense floods, prolonged droughts, and rising sea levels have now become inevitable. Climatic extremes are becoming more frequent; wet periods are becoming wetter and dry periods are becoming dryer. People are able to describe the impacts faced by climate change but not the meaning of „climate change‟. The impacts are most severe for the poor countries. It is high time to plan and implement adaptive measures to minimize the adverse impacts due to climate change, and it is important to explore innovative ideas and practices in building resilience for sustainable development and livelihood, particularly in rural areas of developing countries which are highly vulnerable to climate change. Climate innovation and technologies involve basic science and engineering as well as information dissemination, capacity building, and community organizing. In this context an International Conference on Climate Change Innovation and resilience for Sustainable Livelihood was held in Kathmandu, Nepal from 12-14 January 2015.

  • Exclusionary Policies and Practices in Chinese Minority Education: the Case of Tibetan Education
    Exclusionary Policies and Practices in Chinese Minority Education: The Case of Tibetan Education Bonnie Johnson Pennsylvania State University Nalini Chhetri Pennsylvania State University Introduction Multicultural countries around the world have implemented mass education for school- aged children. Educational systems exist to reproduce the dominant society in which they are an integral part or to impose a new social order. "Transmitting culture and socializing youth are basic goals of the public school" (Gabjrcia, 1978, p.8). Another goal of public education is to promote national unity and economic development. However, the development of mass education in multicultural societies has often been at the expense of minority culture and ethnic identity. Schools are often the medium through which the state establishes the culture of the dominant language while at the same time depriving linguistic minority children of their right to use their mother tongue. Minority education policy is fraught with political, educational, economic and social complexities. This paper examines how the government of the People's Republic of China (hereafter referred to as China) modifies its educational policies to achieve separate and distinct regional objectives, which are linked to regional and ethnic differences. These policies often result in exclusionary practices. Using the case of the Chinese region of Tibet, this paper illustrates the dichotomy of Chinese educational policy: how to achieve universal education for all students and at the same time contain regional ethnic resistance against the communist government and maintain national unity. Education in China China is a country of 56 "official nationalities." Out of a population of 1.2 billion people, over 70 million are non-Han Chinese (Insight Guide, 1998).

  • How Does Social Protection Contribute to Social Inclusion in Nepal?
    February 2014 Report How does social protection contribute to social inclusion in Nepal? Evidence from the Child Grant in the Karnali Region Tej Prasad Adhikari1, Fatik Bahadur Thapa1, Sonam Tamrakar1, Prakash Buda Magar1, Jessica Hagen-Zanker2 and Babken Babajanian2 1NEPAN 2ODI This study uses a social exclusion lens to analyse the effects of Nepal’s Child Grant in Karnali region and tests assumptions about the role social protection can play in contributing to social inclusion and poverty reduction. The study used mixed methods and employed a quasi-experimental impact evaluation. The findings show that in the first three years of implementation, the Child Grant has had only small effects on some indicators of social inclusion, most notably access to a more diversified diet. The research suggests that the impact of the Child Grant is limited by both design and implementation bottlenecks. Shaping policy for development odi.org Preface This report is part of a wider research project that assessed the effectiveness and relevance of social protection and labour programmes in promoting social inclusion in South Asia. The research was undertaken in collaboration with partner organisations in four countries, examining BRAC’s life skills education and livelihoods trainings for young women in Afghanistan, the Chars Livelihoods Programme and the Vulnerable Group Development Programme in Bangladesh, India’s National Health Insurance Programme (RSBY) in Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh and the Child Grant in the Karnali region of Nepal. Reports and briefings for each country and a paper providing cross-country analysis and drawing out lessons of relevance for regional and international policy can be found at: www.odi.org/sp-inclusion.
