Winkler Prologue John Hitchcock in an article published in 1974 discussed the evolution of caste organization in Nepal in light of Tucci's investigations of the Malia Kingdom of Western Nepal. My dissertation research, of which the following material is a part, was an outgrowth of questions John had raised on this subject. At first glance the material written in 1978 may appear removed fr om the interests of a management development specialist in a contemporary Dallas high technology company. At closer inspection, however, its central themes - the legitimization of hierarchical relationships, the "her o" as an organizational symbol, and th~ impact of local culture on organizational function and design - are issues that are relevant to industrial as well as caste organization.

    BODHI: AN INTERDISCIPLINARY JOURNAL Vol. 2, No. 1, Serial No. 2, 2008 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Published by DEPARTMENT OF LANGUAGES AND MASS COMMUNICATION KATHMANDU UNIVERSITY, DHULIKHEL, KAVRE, NEPAL http://www.ku.edu.np/media [email protected] 136 Kafle, Prithvi Narayan Shah ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Prithvi Narayan Shah and Postcolonial Resistance -- Hem Raj Kafle Introduction Nepalese monarchy fell under an inextricable political array after April 2006 as the country took radical directions in the hands of political parties. First, the reinstated parliament declared the country secular in June 2006, which undermined the religious-political significance attributed to Hindu kings. Second , the Maoists successively signed the Comprehensive Peace Accord with the government (November, 2006), and joined the parliament (January, 2007) and the coalition government (March, 2007). Third, the first historic constituent assembly elections took place (April, 2008). Then the constituent assembly declared the country a republic and formally abolished the monarchy (May, 2008). In other words, a collective upsurge of April 2006, which had started to fight monarchy, ended up abolishing in two years. Thereafter the country headed towards a new phase of history with a collective political thrust for restructuration into a federal republic. The project of restructuring the country through the abolition of Shah Dynasty brought into question the historical recognition of the eighteenth-century unification. As a result, the long- established national veneration given to Prithvi Narayan Shah (hereafter P.N. Shah) as the leader of the unification, which Birendra Pandey (2007) frankly calls “the corpse of the grand narrative of the history of Nepal” (p.4), faced immediate public ire. As the Shah Dynasty went through public ire following the Revolution, all its historical roots were threatened and its symbols destroyed.

    A Review of Simarongarh's History on Its Nexus Areas with References Of

    18 Prakash Darnal A Review of Simarongarh’s History on Its Nexus Areas with References of Archaeological Evidences Prakash Darnal Abstract After the Lichachhavi period, Nepal was bounded within the Kathmandu valley only. Sinja emerged as a powerful state in the west of Nepal. Likewise, Karnata dynasty became strong and powerful to the south of Nepal in the beginning of 10th and 11th century A. D. They were so strong and powerful that they attacked Kathmandu valley several times and plundered for the sake of wealth. So Simraongarh was once an important medieval kingdom of Nepal. It was established by Karnata dynasty Nanyadev in 1097 A. D. After capturing Mithila, Nanyadev began to rule it from Simraongarh. He has been credited in the records for the unification of Tirhut. Under the Karnatas Tirhut had developed on economic, social and cultural which was also known as golden age. They ruled over Mithila for about 227 years and after that Gayasuddin Tuglak conquered. Muslims ruled about three hundred years, and then it came under Sens of Makawanpur. Lohang Sen had extended his territories up to Vijayapur. When Prithivi Narayan Shah conquered Makawanpur in 1762 A. D. all part of eastern Terai including Tirhut or Mithila became integral part of Nepal. After the Anglo Nepal war in 1814 - 16 A.D., Nepal lost some parts of eastern Terai, it came again under its jurisdiction in Sugauli Treaty of 1816 A.D. But now people seem to forget Simarongarh which was once so rich and highly developed. Therefore, the objective of this article is not only to remind of its glorious past history but also to prove how important this area through archaeological findings.

    Dibya Upadesh

    Research Article Dibya Upadesh: Pragmatic Guidelines to Nepalese Diplomacy Lecturer, Bhim Nath Baral, PhD Scholar Department of Political Science, Tribhuvan University, Prithvi Narayan Campus, Pokhara, Nepal Abstract The origin of Nepal’s foreign policy dates back to the time of unification of Nepal by king Prithvi Narayan Shah in 1769. For the first time, Nepal was able to make structural provision to conduct foreign policy in a more successful way by deputing skilled officers. It was king Prithvi Narayan Shah who displayed skillful diplomacy in the initiation and successful operation of very challenging task of unification. Credit goes to his skillful war diplomacy. Besides spending active life from The House of Gorkha, he also became an ideal guardian to his successors. Keeping in view, the survival of the nation, he delivered some pragmatic instructions as an oratory to his courtiers and royal priests which we refer to as Dibya Upadesh. It covers the political, economic, strategic, military, geographical and other sectors of national life. More attention is given towards the protection of sovereignty and integrity of the country. So, this paper aims to analyze diplomatic insights expressed through Dibya Upadesh in domestic and external matter by taking state’s survival into consideration. The article is descriptive and analytical and data are acquired from secondary sources. Keywords: Instruction, sovereignty, strategy, successors, survival, unification. Introduction Nepal has never remained under the colony of any world power but it passed through a challenging mode during its early days of nation-building. Nepal’s unique geographical location - 1 - Journal of Political Science, Volume XX between two Asian giants-China and India-always knocks Nepal in every matter of domestic and foreign concern.

I focus on particular instances of border crossing in each chapter, beginning with the exile of deposed sovereigns of small states that spanned the interface of the lower Himalayan foothills and Gangetic plains in the late eighteenth century. The flight of exiled sovereigns and the varied terms of their resettlement around the border region—a process spread over several decades—proved as significant in defining the new borderland between the East India Company and Nepal as the treaty penned after the Anglo-Nepal War of 1814 to 1816. Subsequent chapters consider cross-border movements of bandits, shifting cultivators, soldiers, gendered subjects, laborers, and, later, a developing professional class who became early Nepali nationalist spokesmen. Given that the India-Nepal border remained open without a significant military presence throughout the colonial and even into the contemporary period, I argue that ordinary people engaged with and shaped forms of political belonging and subject status through the always present option of mobility.
