  • A Case Study of Nepal Earthquake and Its Impact on Human Beings
    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 20, Issue 7, Ver. V (July 2015), PP 28-34 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org A Devastating Disaster: A Case Study of Nepal Earthquake and Its Impact on Human Beings Sourav Dey (Department of Geography, Thakur Panchanan Mahila Mahavidyalaya and Dewanhat Mahavidyalaya, India) Abstract: Earthquake is one of the deadly natural disasters we have regularly experienced. Nepal and its adjacent areas are vulnerable to very high magnitude of earthquake. The Himalayan belt, Bihar- Nepal border, Assam and North Bengal especially Darjeeling, Jalpaiguri, Alipurduar and Cooch Behar districts fall in this seismic zone. On the basis of investigation it has been found that recent earthquakes had destructed many human lives and their properties in Nepal and north India. The earthquake was considered to be the main cause for avalanches, landslides, slumps, many creaks and fissures in the adjacent area of Nepal. The present study endeavours to examine the nature, extent, causes and consequences of the tremor of quakes and suggests suitable recommendations for its revival. The specified objectives have been fulfilled by the utilization of maps of Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) and Google images. Necessary maps, diagrams and tables have been prepared for exposition of these problems. Keywords: Objectives, Causes of earthquake, consequences and Recommendations. I. Introduction Earthquake is a violent tremor in the earth crust, sending out a series of shock and aftershock waves (L waves) in all direction from its focus. Earthquakes constitute one of the most terrible natural hazards which often turn into disaster causing extensive devastation and loss of human lives and their properties.

  • An Ethnohistory of the Temple Trust of Manakamana in Nepal
    Sovereignty and Honours as a Redistributive Process: An ethnohistory of the temple trust of Manakamana in Nepal Tone Bleie and Lok Bhattarai Introduction In the late eighteenth century, as the British East India Company expanded and consolidated its rule in most of the Indian sub-continent, an army from the small hill principality of Gorkha in the Himalayan foothills extended its rule over a geographically and culturally diversified region. In 1814 the two powers clashed in war, which ended in defeat for the Gorkhalis two years later. The peace treaty marked the end of seven decades of Gorkhali expansion and left them in charge of somewhat reduced but still large territories in the Tarai, the hills and the high mountain region. Ever since, Nepal has been a sovereign state, conceived by its own rulers as the only true Hindu kingdom, unspoiled by Western and Muslim invaders. Its physical barriers, the mist-shrouded Himalayan peaks and the lush tropical forests created natural borders with India and China that have inspired the Western popular image of this Hindu kingdom as living in splendid isolation from both British colonialism and the globalising economic market system. Our article1 looks at a hitherto unexplored aspect of this kingdom – how one mountain temple and its surrounding locale, by then called Kaphyāk,2 played an essential role in the nation-building process during the period of expansion and later. In the ethnographic and historical research on Nepal, emphasis has been placed on temple architecture, temple economics and temple ritual, but without viewing the temple as an institutional whole.3 The Manakamana (Manakāmanā) temple’s historical role up until now is largely undocumented.
