    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background The Great Gujarat Earthquake in India in January 2001 revealed the vulnerability of “non-earthquake-proof” cities and villages. The earthquake killed approximately 20,000 people and destroyed over 300,000 houses. Nepal lies closer than Gujarat to the subduction zone, where the Indian plate passes under the Himalayas, and may actually be susceptible to even larger-scale earthquakes. Very recently, the American scientific journal Science (2001) introduced the theory that predicts a great earthquake of magnitude 8.1-8.3 would occur “very soon”, affecting up to 50 million people along the front of the Himalayan Mountains. In 1934, an earthquake of magnitude 8.4 caused serious damages to 60% of the buildings in the Kathmandu Valley. It is a cause for much concern that the next great earthquake may occur at any time. Earthquakes are an inevitability for the Kathmandu Valley, and people have to find ways of coping with earthquake disasters. The Kathmandu Valley is the exclusive centre of Nepal for politics, the economy, and a society of about 1.5 million people in an area of 667 km2. The Valley is particularly vulnerable to earthquake disaster because of the rapid increase of population, unplanned development, and poor subsoil. Should a major earthquake occur, Kathmandu would suffer immense losses of life and property and would be unlikely to be able to function as the capital of Nepal. The disaster would create a tremendous number of poor people, contrary to the national goal and key theme of the next (Tenth) National Five-Year Plan, “Poverty Alleviation.” It is foreseeable that the adverse effects of the earthquake will be felt throughout Nepal and cause long-term stagnation of its development.

This could prove to be an ominous start of a long, cold winter of continued conflict. Rolpa, Rukum, Salyan and Jajarkot are all “Category-A” Maoist strongholds by the government’s classification and hence the concentra- tion of forces there. Government presence in the district headquarters meant that it could show a semblance of control by keeping the national flag flying above the Chief District Officer’s building. The Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister flew in and out on helicopters on largely symbolic visits to denounce terrorism. Everyone knew that the Maoists roamed freely in the hinterland. They had their own administration, collectives and courts in place. It was convenient to pretend everything was normal. Dunai is a remote, poor and sparsely populated town four hours’ walk from the nearest airfield. It was vulnerable, and the firefight seems to have been short and bloody. But the attack has sent a significant symbolic message: the solution STATE OF THE STATE by C.K.LAL to the Maoist crisis lies in Kathmandu not in western Nepal. The Maoist leadership is just taking advantage of petty politicking between factions of the ruling party and between the rulers and the opposition. Then there is the lingering and potentially destabilising struggle Freedom to be irresponsible between Singha Durbar and Narayanhiti for supremacy. The friction between the Royal Nepal e may not be shooting the The three branches of government are Army and the Police is just the messenger yet, but messengers outward manifestation of this www are getting enough hints from ganging up against the fourth estate.

Do you think the human rights situation in s Dasain approaches there are indications that both sides will Nepal has improved or deteriorated in the when things seem most hopeless past one year? observe an unofficial festival truce, but prospects of peace A talks to resolve the conflict are more remote than ever. A purported statement from the Maoists declaring a Dasain-Tihar ceasefire on Tuesday turned out to be a hoax. Rebel spokesman Krishna Bahadur Mahara set the record straight by dashing off an e- statement, but that was followed on Wednesday by another release purportedly signed by Prachanda saying the original statement was correct and action would be taken against Mahara. Analysts do not rule out the possibility of army disinformation at work, and see signs of a rift in the Maoist hierarchy following the groups plenum in Dang last month which reportedly rejected peace talks for now. The meeting was followed by strident anti-Indian rhetoric and an intriguing silence on the part of Baburam Bhattarai, who is said to have favoured a softer line on India. The contradictions between central-level statements about links to fraternal parties and recent attacks on the leftist United Peoples Front in the mid-west hint at a breakdown in control. While the leadership calls on UN mediation, grassroots militia defy international condemnation of forced recruitment of school students, abduction of a Unicef staffer and looting of WFP aid.

    Communist Language and Democratic Hopes at a Radio Nepal Dohori Competition

    SINGING DIALOGIC SPACE INTO BEING: COMMUNIST LANGUAGE AND DEMOCRATIC HOPES AT A RADIO NEPAL DOHORI COMPETITION Anna Stirr “New Nepal.”1 These were the words on everyone’s lips in 2006 and 2007, in the months after the ceasefire ending ten years of civil war between the state security forces and Maoist revolutionaries. In April 2006, the nineteen-day People’s Movement against then-king Gyanendra’s seizure of absolute power united democratic political parties and Maoists in a common cause. It paved the way for peace agreements and a tenuous sense of hope that Nepal could reinvent itself, rectifying past injustices of institutionalized class, caste, ethnic, gender, religious, and regional discrimination. This article aims to provide ethnographic insight into an early effort to construct commensurability among the formerly warring parties, and to open up a new discursive space in which to begin to imagine a “new Nepal.” This early effort was the first-ever live dohorã2 song competition on state-supported Radio Nepal on Democracy Day in April 2007. This particular Democracy Day commemorated the previous year’s People’s Movement, and the competition was part of the official national celebration. A significant element of this competition was that in the post- 1 The term “new Nepal” has a long history in Nepali social movements. Used by communists and democrats in the movement against the Ranas in the 1940s, and later in the 1950s, to refer to a Nepal free from the Rana oligarchy (cf. Pushpalal Shrestha 1995 (2053 v.s.)), it was adopted by the Panchayat regime (1960–1990) to refer to the development goals the nation was moving toward.

    Fizzy Drinks and Sufi Music: Abida Parveen in Coke Studio Pakistan By Zainub Beg A Thesis Submitted to Saint Mary’s University, K’jipuktuk/Halifax, Nova Scotia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Theology and Religious Studies. December 2020, Halifax, Nova Scotia Copyright Zainub Beg, 2020 Approved: Dr. Syed Adnan Hussain Supervisor Approved: Dr. Reem Meshal Examiner Approved: Dr. Sailaja Krishnamurti Reader Date: December 21, 2020 1 Fizzy Drinks and Sufi Music: Abida Parveen in Coke Studio Pakistan by Zainub Beg Abstract Abida Parveen, often referred to as the Queen of Sufi music, is one of the only female qawwals in a male-dominated genre. This thesis will explore her performances for Coke Studio Pakistan through the lens of gender theory. I seek to examine Parveen’s blurring of gender, Sufism’s disruptive nature, and how Coke Studio plays into the two. I think through the categories of Islam, Sufism, Pakistan, and their relationship to each other to lead into my analysis on Parveen’s disruption in each category. I argue that Parveen holds a unique position in Pakistan and Sufism that cannot be explained in binary terms.
