  • CHRONICLE 11.Qxp
    [Commentary] Multi-NNational Teamwork More than 15,500 Kosovo Forces soldiers are coming from 24 NATO and 10 Non-NATO-Nations. The smallest national contribution counts four soldiers, and the biggest counts 2,475 soldiers. Whether at a task force or headquarters, multi-nationality is everywhere. The boots on the ground and the HQ staff all work hard together for a safe and secure environment and for freedom of movement in Kosovo. It is one multi-national team conducting one mission for the people in Kosovo. Since my arrival at the beginning of August this year, I have been visiting the MNTF HQs and the troops on the ground. It is a pleasure seeing all efforts being done to support each other while running operations Kosovo-wide. Shuffling our troops all over Kosovo, being clear, determined and unpredictable, being visible but not interfering with normal people's lives, maintaining close contact to the people of Kosovo through our liaison and monitoring teams to "feel the pulse of Kosovo" - all of this requires highly-motivated and flexible soldiers like you, working together in one single team. I am proud working with you in such an exceptional multi-national team tied together by a spirit of universal comradeship! Keep on going this way.

    “LIMBUWAN IS OUR HOME-LAND, NEPAL IS OUR COUNTRY”: HISTORY, TERRITORY, AND IDENTITY IN LIMBUWAN’S MOVEMENT A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Dambar Dhoj Chemjong December 2017 © 2017 Dambar Dhoj Chemjong “LIMBUWAN IS OUR HOME, NEPAL IS OUR COUNTRY”: HISTORY, TERRITORY, AND IDENTITY IN LIMBUWAN’S MOVEMENT Dambar Dhoj Chemjong, Ph. D. Cornell University 2017 This dissertation investigates identity politics in Nepal and collective identities by studying the ancestral history, territory, and place-naming of Limbus in east Nepal. This dissertation juxtaposes political movements waged by Limbu indigenous people with the Nepali state makers, especially aryan Hindu ruling caste groups. This study examines the indigenous people’s history, particularly the history of war against conquerors, as a resource for political movements today, thereby illustrating the link between ancestral pasts and present day political relationships. Ethnographically, this dissertation highlights the resurrection of ancestral war heroes and invokes war scenes from the past as sources of inspiration for people living today, thereby demonstrating that people make their own history under given circumstances. On the basis of ethnographic examples that speak about the Limbus’ imagination and political movements vis-à-vis the Limbuwan’s history, it is argued in this dissertation that there can not be a singular history of Nepal. Rather there are multiple histories in Nepal, given that the people themselves are producers of their own history. Based on ethnographic data, this dissertation also aims to debunk the received understanding across Nepal that the history of Nepal was built by Kings.

This contribution will be even stronger after the UK leaves the European Union. Commentary BRITAIN HAS a long history in this part of the world. The United Kingdom came to Southeast Asia, and to Singapore in particular, for reasons of self-interest: to open up new trade routes and protect existing ones. Two centuries later, our understanding of our self-interest is much wider: British interests are best served by an effective rules- based international system. Within this broader architecture, Britain’s interaction with Southeast Asia has been multi-faceted, ranging from security and defence to economic engagement and education. This is a relationship that has not only been mutually beneficial but is also set to grow, after the UK leaves the European Union. Enduring Defence & Security Cooperation The UK maintains an enduring defence presence in Asia Pacific. British Forces Brunei provides a permanent UK military presence in Southeast Asia, supporting peace and security and conducting defence engagement with ASEAN member states.

    ETHNOGRAPHIC REPORT OF THE RIRAT KHAMBU RAX COMMUNITY OF SIRRIM Submitted by Akhil Kirat Rai Sangh Sikkim Central Office Gangtok 737 101 Sikkim 9th November 2004 INTRODUCTION Before I go into the details of the ethnographic report of the Kirat Khambu Rai community of Sikkim, I would like to give clarification regarding words like -KIRATA / KIRATI /KIRANTI, KHAMBU and RAI I I KIRAT KHAMBU RAI History: A. Origin of word KERATA/KIRAT/KIRANTI: According to G.RSingh, the word KIRATA has been possibly derived from Cirata or Cireta or Cirayita, also known as 'Kirata - Tikta' or 'Anarya - Tikta' - a bitter plant of the non - Aryans', grown in the lower regions of the Himalayas, which forms the country of the modem Kirantis or Kiratas. This is the name of a drug which was obtained from the Kiratas by the Aryans and used for medical purposes. It is also possible that the Kiratas themselves might have given the name to the drug, which was as bitter in taste as they were^ (G.P.Singh:- Kiratas in Ancient India - 1990, pg. 96). The most popular Pali and Prakit fomi of an appellation 'Kiratas' used in Sanskrit and common parlance, is 'Cilata'. It is not correct to state that the term Kirata was loosely applied to any hill folk, no doubt aborigines' or used only for the primitive cave dwellers ofthe Himalayas, foresters and uncivilized or barbarian mountain tribes'*. It is also not a correct explanation that in Sanskrit literature, the term seems to have been used indiscrimately to designate only the border tribe ofthe Northern and Eastern Frontiers'.
