  • Nepalese Society and Politics, BBA 6Th Semester ​
    Nepalese Society and Politics, BBA 6th Semester ​ Unit 1 : Introduction Origin of Nepal- Nepal as a sovereign country Introducing Nepal: There are several chronicles and legends about the origin of Nepal. Most of them however explain Kathmandu valley as the center of Nepal. According to Gopalraj Bansawali, in the beginning Kathmandu was a big lake called the Nagdaha. Lord Krishna drained the water from the valley by cutting the hill at Chobhar with his Sudarshan Chakra or wheel; he then nominated Bhuktamana the King of the valley. Since the people who came with Lord Krishna were cowherds their dynasty was called Gopal Dynasty. According to dialect: - 1. Tibetan: - There are two terms in Nepal. They are "Ne" house and " Pal" wool. So Nepal is a house of wool. Ancient Nepal was renowned as woolen producer, which woolen products were exported to different Indian continental nations. 2. Lepcha:- " Ne" means sacred and "Pal" means cave or nation that refer to mean that sacred cave or sacred nation in Lepcha language. 3. Newar :- " Ne" means mid/ middle and " Pa" means country situated in Himalaya . ​ 4. Hindu religious Text: Text referred that the religious saint named " Ne" served as protected the country and then country's name became the Nepal . a, Nepal as a sovereign country: What is Sovereignty? The supreme, absolute, and uncontrollable power by which an independent state is governed and from which all specific political powers are derived: i. The international independence of a state, ii. Combined with right and power of regulating its international affairs without foreign interference. iii.

  • Kechwadictionary.Pdf
    DICTIONARY INTRODUCTION Dictionary Introduction In a cramped Quito apartment in the late 1990s, the first draft of this dictionary, in Kechwa and Spanish, was written by my brother, Nematni Baltazar Masaquiza Ch. In the fall of 2004, with my beginning Kechwa students at Kansas University, and then with my Kechwa II students in the spring of 2005, we added many words and the English meanings to make it a tri-lingual Kechwa-Spanish-English dictionary. Kechwa is the most widely spoken indigenous language of the Americas. It is spoken today in Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia. There are dialectical differences between regions. Within Ecuador, where I grew up, one finds minor letter changes between regions. In one dialect people might say kanda instead of kanta; ufiana instead of uvyana; caca instead of q’aqa; maskana, instead of maxkana. Kechwa speakers and students will notice that I have not strictly followed the pronunciation and spelling conventions of Ecuadorian Unified Kechwa, but rather have applied vocabulary and conventions from Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia. Why did I do this? In part, I have taken advantage of a language that is not yet standardized— Ecuadorian Kechwa isn’t—to experiment in using other indigenous’ peoples’ letters. For example, Mayans and Aztec intellectuals have been reclaiming their own languages and using their original codices as guides. Borrowing words and letters from other language is happening all the time, but there is often a forced quality the way European languages and letters have come into indigenous languages. Why can’t Kechwa borrow letters from other indigenous cultures? Or words from cousin languages like Aymara? To reclaim ownership of our language, we need to re-assume authority over it.
