Indeed, I have learnt from him my first lesson of history, society, economy, politics and administration of the hill town Darjeeling. My rearing in Darjeeling hills (from Kindergarten to College days) helped me to understand the issues with a difference. My parents provided the every possible congenial space to learn and understand the history of Darjeeling and history of the people of Darjeeling. Soon after my post- graduation from this University, located in the foot-hills of the Darjeeling Himalayas, I was encouraged to take up a study on Darjeeling by my teachers.

  • Dina Bangdel (*1963-2017) by Christiane Brosius
    Dina Bangdel (*1963-2017) by Christiane Brosius Dina Bangdel is no more, at least not on this earth. She died on 25 July 2017 in a US-American hospital from the aftermath of a sinus-operation and meningitis. With her demise, we pay farewell not only to a remarkable scholar and energetic colleague, but also to a passionate teacher, facilitator and curator of art in Nepal, both in Nepal and beyond. With most of her higher education undertaken in the USA, she received her PhD from Ohio State University. Since several years, she was director of Art History Program at Virginia Commonwealth University in Doha, Qatar. She was also on the Board of Directors of the Nepal Art Council, among other positions of patronage and expertise. At the time Dina fell ill, she was involved in many different activities, most in collaboration with different agents and institutions, both in Nepal and internationally. She had several exhibitions in the planning: one exhibition was a retrospective on the work of her belated father Lain Singh Bangdel, famous ‘pioneer’ of Nepal’s modern art. Another exhibition on Buddhist art was planned, with the Musee Guimet, a precious Paris museum concentrating on Asian art. In March 2017, she curated an exhibition in the context of the Kathmandu Triennale 2017, entitled Built / Unbuilt : Home/City, involving artists based in Doha and artists from Kathmandu, Nepal. One of her attempts was that of enabling respectful dialogue – between ‘traditional’ and ‘contemporary’, but also between Nepali and international art worlds. She brought Qatari art history students to India, to visit the Kochi Biennale and the India Art Fair in Delhi (2015), she invited Doha-based artists to Nepal, to learn more about art from Nepal, from each other.

ISSN 2091-0479. © 2010 Kathmandu University 100 Uprety, Cultural aesthetics ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Cultural aesthetics of the contemporary - Sanjeev Uprety The concept of ―contemporary‖ can function as an umbrella term to encompass the cultural forms of both modernity and post-modernity.1 In simple words contemporary is what is happening now, including the novels and stories being written, arts and sculptures being exhibited, and music being produced. In a way it is easier to understand the cultural aesthetics of the contemporary – especially in comparison to the loaded terms such as modernity and post-modernity – because we are all living within the shifting frames of our contemporary times. We have all experienced what contemporary means in relation to our lived experiences to the historical present. The concept of the contemporary is not a fixed entity; rather, it keeps on changing with time. It seems reasonable to suppose that the contemporary cultural practices of the Panchayat era Nepali subjects were different from the contemporary cultural forms of their ancestors living during Malla and Rana periods. Deeply affected by the ―global flows,‖ contemporary Nepali cultures in the first decades of the twenty first century are similarly different from the contemporary cultures of the 1 There have been a number of contradictory arguments concerning the theory and praxis of modernity and postmodernity. According to the thinkers like Jean Baudrillard and Francois Lyotard, there is a major gulf between the world views and cultures of modernity and postmodernity. Lyotard, for example, believes that modern culture is characterized by a search for metanarratives; narratives that explain the world and social totality by positing certain universal truths and universal modes of perception and interpretation.

  • The World Factbook
    The World Factbook South Asia :: Nepal Introduction :: Nepal Background: In 1951, the Nepali monarch ended the century-old system of rule by hereditary premiers and instituted a cabinet system of government. Reforms in 1990 established a multiparty democracy within the framework of a constitutional monarchy. An insurgency led by Maoists broke out in 1996. The ensuing 10-year civil war between Maoist and government forces witnessed the dissolution of the cabinet and parliament and assumption of absolute power by the king in 2002. Several weeks of mass protests in April 2006 were followed by several months of peace negotiations between the Maoists and government officials, and culminated in a late 2006 peace accord and the promulgation of an interim constitution. Following a nationwide election in April 2008, the newly formed Constituent Assembly (CA) declared Nepal a federal democratic republic and abolished the monarchy at its first meeting the following month. The CA elected the country's first president in July. Between 2008 and 2011 there were four different coalition governments, led twice by the United Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist, which received a plurality of votes in the 2008 CA election, and twice by the Communist Party of Nepal-United Marxist-Leninist (UML). After the CA failed to draft a constitution by the May 2012 deadline set by the Supreme Court, then Prime Minister Baburam BHATTARAI dissolved the CA. Months of negotiations ensued until March 2013 when the major political parties agreed to create an interim government headed by then Chief Justice Khil Raj REGMI with a mandate to hold elections for a new CA.

  • Senior Leaders Skip CA Meetings
    Senior Leaders Skip CA Meetings Bhuwan KC Published date: 20 September 2010 http://asd.org.np/en/transition/constitution/analytical/80-skip-ca-meetings The CA sat for 100 meetings in two years. According to the CA Secretariat employees, Nepali Congress president Girija Prasad Koirala had reached the CA meeting hall only four times. When he died on 20 March 2010, he had not signed on the attendance register even once. UCPN (M) chairperson Pushpa Kamal Dahal attended eight meetings. He attended five meetings after resigning from the prime minister’s post. He last attended the meeting on 4 February 2010. Senior Nepali Congress leader Sher Bahadur Deuba attended seven meetings in two years. He did not attend a single meeting for the whole of 2066 BS (mid-April 2009 to mid-April 2010). Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal attended 16 meetings of the Constituent Assembly. Comparatively, UML chairperson Jhala Nath Khanal was more active in attending 34 meetings. Among leaders of the big parties, Nepali Congress parliamentary leader Ram Chandra Poudel has attended the most meetings. He not only attends the meetings but also participates in the discussions. He also gave presentations in his 63 meeting attendances. Leaders of the smaller parties attended most of the meetings and actively took part in discussions. Rastriya Janamorcha chairperson Chitra Bahadur K.C. attended 93 meetings. By looking at the meeting attendance of the top leaders of the major parties, it is clear that the meetings are not their priorities. They did not take part in discussions in serious issues raised in the meetings.
