Same thing can be said about a socio-political change, particularly, when people try to change existing system. A society may go through a period of chaos, destruction, and uncertainty. Nepal, too, has gone through a period of conflict before a couple of centuries old monarchy bowed down to the peoples‘ demands for a republic state. The nation went through an acute pain and suffering material, as well as, cultural loss. The result it brought is ‗New Nepal‘; the words often used referring to a political change in 2006. However, the nation has yet to promulgate the new constitution in order to institutionalize New Nepal. In the first part of this chapter, I discuss the conflict scenario and outline some widely read literary works that the period produced, and move on to the research problem I have undertaken in this dissertation. The period of conflict bore tremendous energy of creativity in Nepali writers writing in, both, Nepali and English languages. A high flow of books swept through the post-conflict Nepal in response to the suffering and the loss caused by the decade long political conflict with armed forces backing it. In the year 2004, ―Ramesh Parajuli prepared a bibliography on the Maoist movement listing over three hundred entries only in English. Numerous other works on the Civil War have been produced since then‖ (Adhkari and Gautam 3). In order to recap the motivating source of this huge literary output, I shall, briefly, answer the question: What was the scenario that bore such an immense creative energy? It is a well-accepted fact that Nepal have gone through an extreme situation since 1996, which has left the Nepali society shattered, socially and psychologically, that it may never come to terms with the loss. Between the year 1996 and 2006 ―about 15,000 people have lost their Thapa 6 lives‖ (Baral ―Maoist Insurgency‖ 207) and the number of disappearances and the injuries caused by the conflict has yet to be made public by the government. The rural countryside suffered the most where the insurgents had their bases. The poor villagers were caught in the cross-fire between the state security forces and the rebel forces. They were abducted and tortured in the name of supporting either warring forces. Left with no choices ―the villagers could no longer live in the villages and fled to safer areas within Nepal or went to India or abroad, seeking employment‖ (Thapa and Sijapati 170). The countryside witnessed barren villages as mass migration took place. The villages became empty of youths. There were, hardly, any able working hands left in the villages. The women were left with little kids and duty to feed and care them despite the destitution. Thus, women were forced to plough their fields, which until then, was a cultural taboo. As the internal war escalated, the people suffered a vicious conflict trap as double victims of the conflict. At first, they were direct victims of the state security forces as relatives (wife, father, and mother) of the rebel. And, secondly, they had to offer hiding shelter and food for the rebels at the cost of their own livelihood. Apart from human loss and suffering, the material loss was immense during the conflict. The nation‘s infrastructures, for example: bridge, government buildings, offices and industries, were hit to an irreparable state. Observing the damage caused by the People‘s War, Thapa and Sijapati, remark: ―The intensity of the violence has extracted a huge material loss for the country‖ (170). Physical destruction exceeded as the conflict progressed. The survey undertook by one of the national media houses reported that, by the year 2003 ―The cost of reconstruction of the development infrastructure that was destroyed by Maoists is estimated at NRs 200 billion‖ (qtd. in Adhikari 61). Thus the people‘s lives were affected individually as well as collectively. The countryside and its people lived through mayhem caused by the conflict, yet the turmoil Thapa 7 went almost unnoticed to elites of the center and the world outside Nepal. The report of the bloody war broke out now and then in newspapers that employed local journalists to report spicy story of hunger, famine and child-marriage from the faraway hills and tarai. The elites at the center read the exotic reports at their savory breakfast table. ―During this time, the Kathmandu establishment did not experience what was happening in the countryside, and those who did have first-hand experience had no voice in the establishment. Readers had to search hard to find any reference to the war […]‖ (Thapa ―Future of Nepali Literature‖ 8). Apart from some oblique news reports, the event remained in local geography and archives of warring forces –the rebels and the state. It was only after the Royal Massacre in 2001 that the national and international media came to learn about the deepening of conflict in faraway countryside of Nepal. Moreover, ―International attention on Nepal actually increased with the visit of Secretary of State Collin Powell in January 2002- the first visit in thirty years of such a high-ranking official of the U.S. government‖ (Riaz and Basu 154). The visit of the U.S. Secretary was followed by international institutes, conflict experts and writers. Thus Nepal turned into a site of conflict and trauma for national and international academics conducting researches. Adhikari and Gautam observe that ―International academia and INGOs working on conflict and development are drawn towards studying this movement‖ (2), ever since. It was only during and after the first negotiation period between warring forces that writers and journalists made their journey to the conflict affected zones. The story began to unfold at every tea table of literate class of Nepal. What the citizens outside the conflict zone witnessed was the grotesque images of bloody violence splashed across the TV channels and on the front page of the newspapers. The conflict continued, from bad to worse, and the texts on the conflict began to flow in the reading circles. Who wrote about the conflicts were professionals Thapa 8 and experts working in media house, human rights organization and academia. Some narrated the story as a news reporter, the other wrote on the insurgency as a part of their research project. Yet, because these projects are ―Frequently sponsored by donor communities, they have specific objectives, and are often guided by a pre-existing framework on what to observe, and where. Gaps thus remain in understanding Nepal‘s political and social problems‖ (Adhikari and Gautam 6). To understand Nepal‘s political and social problems during the conflict we should look into the independent works of writers, academics and artists living in the country during the period, who strongly responded to the conflict through their writing, research papers and works of art. However, I limit myself in outlining some of the widely discussed books and a play rather than covering up all the texts produced during and in the post-conflict period. Among the published works on the insurgency is an anthology of short story, Stories of Conflict and War (2007), translated and edited by Govinda Raj Bhattarai, which covers stories by old to young generation of Nepali writers that present the social milieu during conflict from observers‘ perspective and from sufferers‘ perspective. Written along the same line of style is Chhapamar ko Chhoro, a collection of short stories by Mahes Vikram Shah, which presents social realities including the plight and state of society and the people during the insurgency. Among the written texts Close Encounters (2010) stands apart as the collection prose on traumatic experience that the author went through during the conflict whilst working for the human rights issues.

  • Writers and Readers in Transitional Nepal Michael Hutt (SOAS, London)
    Writers and Readers in Transitional Nepal Michael Hutt (SOAS, London) 1. Introduction The past decade has seen significant changes in the world of Nepali publishing, marketing and reading.1 Ever since literary publishing began in earnest during the 1930s, Nepali literary works have normally been published in editions of no more than 1000 cheaply produced paperbook copies, which often take several years to sell. The vast majority of book sales have been of a small number of classic works such as Lakshmi Prasad Devkota’s narrative poem Muna-Madan (or indeed Parijat’s novel Shirishko Phul, which has sold more than 100,000 copies since its first publication in 1965 (Aryal 2011: 49)). While such works continue to sell, in recent years the Nepali public’s book-buying capacity has increased dramatically, so that the list of books that have sold in excess of 1000 copies is now quite long, and sales of over 10,000 are no longer uncommon. Current best-sellers include Nepali-language novels; books about the Maoist People’s War; books about the Narayanhiti palace massacre; and English language fiction by Nepali authors (notably, Manjushree Thapa and Samrat Upadhyay). Before 2002, probably more than half of the Nepali fiction and poetry in print2 was published by Sajha Prakashan,3 with the rest coming out of the Nepal Academy (Pragya Pratisthan), and a number of small private publishers. Ratna Pustak Bhandar is Nepal’s oldest private publisher and probably the classic example4 but the number of private publishers has grown considerably. For instance, a publisher such as Vivek Srijanshil Prakashan produces ‘progressive’ writings by Nepali and foreign authors in large quantity and at a very low unit price.

  • Report on the Annual Kathmandu Conference on Nepal and the Himalaya 2013
    150 EBHR-42 Report on the Annual Kathmandu Conference on Nepal and the Himalaya 2013 Shaileshwori Sharma The second edition of the Annual Kathmandu Conference on Nepal and the Himalaya was held in Kathmandu from 24 to 26 July 2013. Co-hosted by Social Science Baha (SSB), the Association for Nepal and Himalayan Studies (ANHS) and Britain-Nepal Academic Council (BNAC), the conference saw 21 papers presented in eight panels over three days, two keynote presentations and a panel discussion. The first day of the conference began with opening remarks from the Chair of Social Science Baha, Nirmal Man Tuladhar. The inaugural panel discussed the historical epochs in Nepal and their impact on various aspects of development. The first paper, by Sudhindra Sharma (Interdisciplinary Analysts) and Bandana Gyawali Gautam (University of Helsinki), looked into development during the Rana period, especially in terms of forestry management and domestic water supply. Lok Ranjan Parajuli’s (Martin Chautari) paper also explored the Rana regime’s ‘policy turnaround’ with the introduction of what was called Basic Education, which itself was replaced by ‘modern education’ with the 1951 political change. The third paper, by Thomas Robertson (Worcester Polytechnic Institute), examined, first, the epidemiology, entomology, ecology and geography of malaria, and then the impact of malaria on Nepal’s history in addition to the ways in which Nepalis influenced the disease before efforts to eradicate malaria began in the 1950s. The second panel had an exclusive focus on Nepali youth. Andrea Kölbel (University of Oxford) looked at the level of involvement of edu- cated Nepali youth in civic activities.

  • MA English Syllabus
    Tribhuvan University Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences M.A. English Revised Courses of Study (Semester System) Prepared by English Subject Committee 2018 TRIBHUVAN UNIVERSITY M. A. English Program Revised Courses of Study (Semester System) 2018 1 Introduction The M.A. English courses offer students insight into literature, language, culture, and history.

Focus on writing, intensive study of literary genres, emphasis on interpretive and cultural theories, and the incorporation of interdisciplinary and comparative study are some of the underlying features of the courses. The syllabus requires a participatory and inquiry-based pedagogy for effective teaching and learning. The courses seek to: ∙ develop linkage between the B. A. English syllabus and the M. Phil. syllabus, ∙ apply traditional and modern literary theories while reading and teaching literary texts, ∙ train students to use English for effective communication, ∙ help students produce creative and critical writing, ∙ sharpen students creative and critical thinking, ∙ cater to students‘ need of gaining knowledge of literature and ideas, ∙ provide flexibility to the teachers in developing courses of their interests, ∙ develop courses that emphasize close reading and relationship among form, content and context, ∙ ensure application of critical theories in the interpretation of texts, and ∙ adopt interdisciplinary methods and approaches, and ∙ enable students to comprehend and respond to issues and problems.

McDaniel Professor of Telecommunications ________________________________ Gregory J. Shepherd Dean, Scripps College of Communication Abstract BANJADE, ARJUN, Ph.D., August 2007, Mass Communication COMMUNITY RADIO IN NEPAL: A CASE STUDY OF COMMUNITY RADIO MADANPOKHARA (353 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Drew O. McDaniel This study is about Community Radio Madanpokhara (CRM) in Palpa district in Western Nepal. Initiated and managed by the local residents, CRM has been on the air on frequency modulation (FM) band serving 800,000 potential listeners in the region since 2000. Triangulating in-depth interviews, observations and an audience survey as methods, this research explores the nature and extent of the local residents’ participation in the communication process. The station, operating with a wide participation from its community members, has not only been successful in providing them with an access to much needed information and entertainment but has also, in fact, proved to be an important avenue for the local population to express their opinions and views as well as exchange feelings. An audience survey, conducted in January 2004, revealed that 80.8 percentage of the local respondents listen to their community radio station for information and entertainment.
