  • Learning Nepali the Soas Way
    REVIEW ARTICLE LEARNING NEPALI THE SOAS WAY Mark Turin Himalayan Languages Project Leiden University The Netherlands Teach Yourself Nepali: A Complete Course in Understanding, Speaking and Writing. 1999. Michael Hutt and Abhi Subedi. London: Teach Yourself Books, Hodder & Stoughton Ltd. xi + 308 pages. 2 cassettes. UK book price: £14.99. Nepali price: Nrs 465. ISBN 0-340-71130-2. Introduction Despite being relatively small both in terms of size and population, Nepal and her national language have exerted a considerable influence across the northern reaches of South Asia. Home to more than 80 languages hailing from four different language families, Nepal has more need of a common tongue than many other countries twice her size. Outside of Nepal’s present borders, Nepali is widely used in Sikkim and Darjeeling, prompting its recognition as a major language in India by the Indian Constitution. Even in the mountainous kingdom of Bhutan, the Nepali language is both spoken and understood. Nepali is, in short, a lingua franca of the central and eastern Himalaya. Since the opening of Nepal ’s borders in 1951, a whole new group of potential Nepali language learners has emerged. Foreign volunteers, teachers, doctors, academics, missionaries, hippies and businessmen, to mention but a few of the interest groups coming to Nepal, have all sought to learn the national language over the past 40 years. It is surprising that despite the high profile of these visitors to Nepal and their relatively large numbers, no single pedagogical textbook has emerged which answers their needs. On one level, of course, the diversity of these foreign learners and their differing priorities provides the explanation.

  • Migration to and from the Nepal Terai: Shifting Movements and Motives Hom Nath Gartaula and Anke Niehof
    Migration to and from the Nepal terai: shifting movements and motives Hom Nath Gartaula and Anke Niehof Vol. 2, No. 2, pp. 29–51 | ISSN 2050-487X | journals.ed.ac.uk/southasianist journals.ed.ac.uk/southasianist | ISSN 2050-487X | pg. 29 Vol. 2, No. 2, pp. 29-51 Migration to and from the Nepal terai: shifting movements and motives Hom Nath Gartaula University of Manitoba, Canadian Mennonite University, [email protected] Anke Niehof Wageningen University, [email protected] In Nepal, the historical evidence shows that migration to the terai increased after the eradication of malaria in the late 1950s and has been increasing ever since. More recently, however, out-migration from the terai is rapidly increasing. By applying both qualitative and quantitative research methods, in-depth qualitative interviews, focus group discussions and household survey were used for data collection, with considerable inputs from ethnographical fieldwork for about 21 months. The paper presents three types of population flows in the historical pattern. First, the history of Nepal as an arena of population movement; second, the gradual opening up of the terai, leading to the hills-terai movement; and the third, the current outward flow as an individual migration for work. The paper exemplifies that poverty and lack of arable land are not the only push factors, but that pursuing a better quality of life is gaining importance as a migration motive. We conclude that like movements of people, their motives for moving are also not static and cannot be taken for granted. journals.ed.ac.uk/southasianist | ISSN 2050-487X | pg.

  • ANMA Newsletter 2020
    ANMA NEWSLETTER ASSOCIATION OF NEPALESE MATHEMATICIANS IN AMERICA Message from the President ISSUE 3 1 Editorial This issue of the ANMA newsletter is a small effort to extend the ambit of our friendship by gathering and disseminating accomplishments and experiences of Nepalese mathematicians and statisticians in Nepal, the United States, and around the globe. Abided by the motivation of connecting the mathematics community of Nepal together, we were able to organize different activities that foster perseverance, trust, and teamwork between us. While conducting each of these activities, we were aware that the voices of each of the members will not go unheard. Now that our journey as the executive committee member is at the end, we would like to present the works, accomplishments, and achievements of the bigger and growing family of Nepali mathematicians in the U.S.A. Being a member of ANMA provides a specific opportunity to give back to our communities while working with a passionate and talented group of people. We believe that the fastest way to grow our network is to import our contacts into our organization and find more people who can serve ANMA with their knowledge and experiences. We are continuously looking into different ways to bring more members of our community under the umbrella of our organization. We are also very excited to share that this year ANMA reached over 100 members. Even during the year of unprecedented changes and challenges, ANMA remained committed to the needs and concerns of its members and organized various activities virtually. We believe that this issue will translate the passion, friendship, achievements, and energy we all ANMA members shared throughout these two years.

  • Decision Makers' Perception and Knowledge About Ltcin Nepal: An
    ABSTRACT DECISION-MAKERS’ PERCEPTIONS AND KNOWLEDGE ABOUT LONG-TERM CARE IN NEPAL: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY by Kelina Basnyat Understanding issues related to long-term care (LTC) is more prominent in western countries than in developing countries. Many developing countries including Nepal are passing through a process of modernization which is replacing traditional social structures and value systems. For example in Nepal, even though long-term care is sometimes provided by a very limited number of government funded old age homes and non-profit organizations, the family remains the sole care-taker for most elderly. Research has demonstrated that the modern ideology of individualism along with the growing number of nuclear families is placing vulnerable populations such as the elderly in a difficult predicament. It is thus safe to argue that if decision- makers of Nepal lack basic knowledge of needs related to aging, disability, and LTC, this will impact all policies concerning these issues. This paper, therefore, explores the perception and knowledge pertaining to aging, disability and LTC among key decision-makers (bureaucrats and politicians) of Nepal. This exploratory study was conducted in Kathmandu and involved face-to- face in-depth interviews with 18 decision makers. The findings reveal that decision-makers have limited knowledge about aging, disability in aging and LTC needs. This paper maintains that the formulation and implementation of any new policies regarding aging and LTC needs could be problematic due to the unstable Nepali political climate.
