  • Everything I Learned About Nepali Literature Is Wrong | 217
    (ALMOST) EVERYTHING I LEARNED ABOUT NEPALI LITERATURE IS WRONG | 217 Chautari Foundation Lecture 2018 (ALMOST) EVERYTHING I LEARNED ABOUT NEPALI LITERATURE IS WRONG Manjushree Thapa I’ve been rethinking my sense of Nepali literature, and am pleased to have a chance to share my thoughts at Martin Chautari, an organization that I played a very small role in founding back in the 1990s, when it was an informal discussion group among “development” workers.1 Most of us, at the time, were foreign-educated, or actual foreigners. We were well meaning, but we were seeking an intellectual life without any links to Nepal’s own intellectual traditions in the political parties, the universities, the writers and activists. It was particularly under Pratyoush Onta’s leadership that Martin Chautari developed these links and became a site where foreign-educated Nepalis, foreigners, and Nepal’s own intellectual traditions could meet for open debate. Knowledge-generation is a collective enterprise. It is not an endeavor a person undertakes in isolation. I’ve written and spoken before on the thoughts I’ll share here, first in the introduction (Thapa 2017a) to La.Lit, A Literary Magazine Volume 8 (Special issue: Translations from the Margins), which I edited (Thapa 2017b), and then at two talks for the Himalayan Studies Conference at the University of Colorado, in Boulder, in September 2017, and for the Nepal Studies Initiative at the University of Washington, in Seattle, in April 2018. This lecture is a crystallizing of those thoughts, which are still in formation. One caveat: I am not a scholar, but a writer; I am engaged in what Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak calls the “wild practice” (2012: 394).

    “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.

  • 1 I. a Nexus Between Nepali Nationalism and Ethnic Mode Of
    1 I. A Nexus between Nepali Nationalism and Ethnic Mode of Expression “A nation is not some geographical entity, it is a place which is loved and liked by the people” (B.P. Koirala, Atmabrittanta, 289) The discourse of nationalism is often associated with collective identity of people. It is a tie that binds people with a nation. Nationalism is a mode of defining, expressing and recognizing oneself in relation to the state. It is constructed along with formation of nation state and incorporates several elements like people, language, culture, religion, history, social structures, and political conditions. On the other hand, ethnicity is related with particular social group that shares common cultural, lingual, religious, historical and national experiences. It is a communal identity that is based on specific value systems, rituals, customs, festivals, myths and symbols. As nationalism is not a mere political construct or pervasive integration of people in certain physical boundary, it should reflect memories, aspirations, and imaginations of the people living in particular place. Literature, like other modes of cultural production reflects the specific socio- historical dimensions of its creation. It manifests the society and culture in which it is composed. As the socio-economic materiality is the base for the articulation and production of any literary texts, literature is usually shaped by the politics or power dynamisms. In this connection, Nepali poetry can also be studied and analyzed by contextualizing it to the historical development of the nation-state or nationalism. This dissertation thus, is an attempt to study the relation between ethnicity and nationalism by foregrounding the nexus between literature and the state.
