    Policy Paper, No. 7, December 2012 THE NEED FOR A CITIZEN-ORIENTED RADIO POLICY PolicyMartin Paper Chautari No. 7 December 2012 Martin Chautari The Need for a www.martinchautari.org.np Citizen-oriented Radio Policy Introduction Key in democracy is the right of citizens to freely express their voice and the right of citizens to access information. In any democratic country, such rights are constitutionally guaranteed. The existence of an independent media plays an important internal role in ensuring these rights, and where democracy prevails, the media tends to be independent; media and democracy playing a complementary role. The past history of Nepal shows this relation – the media was promoted with the establishment of democracy in 1951, but restricted again in 1960 when the then king dismantled the democratically elected government. Following the restoration of democracy in 1990, the hitherto restricted media became free again and the very powerful medium of communication, the radio, became open through the private sector. In terms of the radio, following the establishment of Radio Nepal in 1951, for about half a century radio transmission was monopolized by the state. The 1990 constitution guaranteed the right to information, and press freedom and freedom of expression. In 1993 after the new broadcasting policy was formulated, the entry of the private sector in the broadcasting realm was recognized at the policy level for the first time. The National Broadcasting Act, 1993 and the National Broadcasting Regulation, 1995 followed. Private sector radio began to operate according to these act and regulation. According to the website of the Ministry of Information and Communications (MoIC), till the October 2012, there were a total of 472 radios which had received broadcasting licenses.

  • Chapter I: Kachahari: a Theatre for Oppressed I.1 Introduction A
    Chapter I: Kachahari: a Theatre for Oppressed I.1 Introduction A Kachahari is a people’s court traditionally held in Nepali villages. When faced with a conflict or case of injustice, a villager would call for a Kachahari and presents his or her problems. Villagers would look for possible solutions together, involving both victimizer and victimized on hearing. Kachahari theatre attempts to create this kind of forum using drama: a performing art, where artists perform the victimized person/s issue amidst the audiences who first appear as the case hearing audiences and then become performer of the solutions from each angle. Kachahari theatre –a site of performance is an interactive form of theatre, where the audience actively participates in and shapes the happening on stage. Through this dynamism, people (artists and audiences) both analyze the problems faced by them and act out or “rehearse” to get possible solutions which they can use in their lives. The Kachahari theatre was started by Aarohan Theatre group in Nepal, nearly two decades ago, under the leadership of theatre master Sunil Pokharel. Aarohan Theatre group is one of the pioneering theatre groups who set the theatre as a political theatre movement rolling in Nepal in 1993. The other one is Sarvanam, which worked for the street theatre where artists perform for public awareness related issues.The theatre master and the head of Aarohan theatre group in Nepal, Sunil Pokharel, in his interview with Nepal Monitor’s reporter Haris Adhikari, asserts that he does not believe in art for art sake. Moreover, his direct involvement in street theatre from 1983 with the group called Sarvanam, and his subsequent journey to National School of Drama, New Delhi, India has empowered him with a unique capacity to interpret the history of his country and learn from the mistakes that happened in Indian scenario in its post independence era.
