Kattel, Kathmandu, Nepal © GEFONT 2005 GEFONT publication No. 89 ISBN: 99946-940-7-3 iii Editorial Notes While we are publishing this collection, Nepali people are taking to the streets for genuinely urgent reasons. In Nepal today, advocates of democracy and peace have been suppressed while a militarised autocratic regime rules with an iron fist pushing Nepal a step backward and mocking the long sacrifices of the Nepali people that resulted in democracy in 1990. Our hard-won democracy has once more suffered a royal coup. And naturally the people are out in the streets to fight the coup. One of the major shortcomings of our multiparty system was that it failed to check dictatorial stratagems and feudal conspiracies against democracy. It failed to reckon the fact that feudal forces were unhappy at the general people enjoying their rights, and they could stage a comeback to strike against democracy that enabled the people to enjoy freedoms. Our democracy could not stand vigilant about its enemies. Today’s Nepal is in the quagmire of extreme leftist and rightist ideologies and, as such, caught in the crossfire of violence and counter violence these extremist ideologies. Innocent people without weapons are paying a tough price as the country continues to descend into chaos and violence. The 1990 Constitution that was drawn up with great efforts and sacrifices has been rendered obsolete. The popular mass movement of 1990 had restored people's sovereignty and enabled them to govern themselves through the government elected by them. But 12 years later, on the shameful day of October 4 (2002), a royal proclamation was made suddenly snatching the people’s sovereignty. After the following '28-month long drama', the monarch went a step further to finish all the remnants of a democratic set-up. The shameful day that marked the finish of Nepali people's sovereignty was February 1st (2005). The day the king snatched the executive power and imposed an absolute regime by severing communication links, jailing party leaders, criminalising press and publication freedoms and suspending universal human rights and liberties. The king did all this with the help of the military. Shame on the royal coup! iv The country now is burning; the need of the day is to control the fire. Our rights have been snatched and our dignity has been humiliated; the need of the day is to open our mouths as early as possible or else we will have our mouths shut permanently. We should take upon ourselves the responsibility to redefine democracy and chart a way to achieve it in order to restore the rights and freedoms of the Nepali people forestall conspiracies from brutal and insane offenders. If we do not take this august responsibility, there will be no one to do so. We are publishing this collection as an effort towards that responsibility, a collection of and about the actors of the World of Work in Nepal, about the struggles for the dignity of working class peoples. More specifically, this publication has attempted to document GEFONT efforts and GEFONT led movements for the institutionalisation of trade unionism in the post- 1990 Nepal while fighting chaos, violence and anarchy all along the way. In order to make this publication reader friendly, the articles presented here have been classified into nine thematic chapters beginning with a short introduction to the Nepali labour market in order to contextualise the World of Work of the 12 years of democratic periods. The classified articles are in a descending order, starting from 2005 back to 1996. Most of the articles carry GEFONT views although some of them were presented in various forums by GEFONT officials in their personal capacity. Where there is no name of an author, footnotes at the end of each article acknowledge the contribution of the person concerned. We expect this publication to be a window through which to peep at the Nepali World of Work from its evolution to the present. The publication tells the readers stories and issues of confrontations with odds and challenges and assimilations to ground realities in order to make the labour movement value based, practical and pro-workers. This publication represents the mood and mind of the Nepali labour movement, one that has a strong bearing on the democratic movement of the country and one that will decide the future of democracy in Nepal.

Our Journey to the New Millennium 330 Acronym and Abbreviations 335 vii Revisiting Our Labour Market By Bishnu Rimal On Labour market After the introduction of plurality in Nepal's politics, globally widespread economic liberalisation started to influence the Nepali labour sector. The liberal economic and industrial policy of the state promoted the process of the globalisation of capital. Despite the opportunity of openness and competition, the outcomes of liberalisation have been mainly negative. One of the examples is the privatisation of the public enterprises and resultant expulsion of large number of workers. The provisions of permanent job status and subsidies for the welfare of the people, which were in place during the period of mixed economy, have been severed. The defective policy of so-called 'hire and fire' has been given a high emphasis by the employers. They prefer to hire workers whenever they feel the need and fire them at their discretion. The workers are paid a poverty wage when there is surplus of labour. In scarcity, they are paid comparatively higher amounts. In addition, the practice of labour sub-contracting has been enforced. The facilities provided for long time have been curtailed to compensate the increase in other costs in enterprises and industries. In the world of work, workers are still treated as a commodity. Traditional employment in Nepal is actually based on agriculture. In the last 12 years, there has been a regressive trend of change in agriculture compared to a progressive trend in the non-agricultural sector.

  • River Culture in Nepal
    Nepalese Culture Vol. XIV : 1-12, 2021 Central Department of NeHCA, Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu, Nepal DOI: https://doi.org/10.3126/nc.v14i0.35187 River Culture in Nepal Kamala Dahal- Ph.D Associate Professor, Patan Multipal Campus, T.U. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Most of the world civilizations are developed in the river basins. However, we do not have too big rivers in Nepal, though Nepalese culture is closely related with water and rivers. All the sacraments from birth to the death event in Nepalese society are related with river. Rivers and ponds are the living places of Nepali gods and goddesses. Jalkanya and Jaladevi are known as the goddesses of rivers. In the same way, most of the sacred places are located at the river banks in Nepal. Varahakshetra, Bishnupaduka, Devaghat, Triveni, Muktinath and other big Tirthas lay at the riverside. Most of the people of Nepal despose their death bodies in river banks. Death sacrement is also done in the tirthas of such localities. In this way, rivers of Nepal bear the great cultural value. Most of the sacramental, religious and cultural activities are done in such centers. Religious fairs and festivals are also organized in such a places. Therefore, river is the main centre of Nepalese culture. Key words: sacred, sacraments, purity, specialities, bath. Introduction The geography of any localities play an influencing role for the development of culture of a society. It affects a society directly and indirectly. In the beginning the nomads passed their lives for thousands of year in the jungle.

  • The Kamaiya System of Bonded Labour in Nepal
    Nepal Case Study on Bonded Labour Final1 1 THE KAMAIYA SYSTEM OF BONDED LABOUR IN NEPAL INTRODUCTION The origin of the kamaiya system of bonded labour can be traced back to a kind of forced labour system that existed during the rule of the Lichhabi dynasty between 100 and 880 AD (Karki 2001:65). The system was re-enforced later during the reign of King Jayasthiti Malla of Kathmandu (1380–1395 AD), the person who legitimated the caste system in Nepali society (BLLF 1989:17; Bista 1991:38-39), when labourers used to be forcibly engaged in work relating to trade with Tibet and other neighbouring countries. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the Gorkhali and Rana rulers introduced and institutionalised new forms of forced labour systems such as Jhara,1 Hulak2, Beth3 and Begar4 (Regmi, 1972 reprint 1999:102, cited in Karki, 2001). The later two forms, which centred on agricultural works, soon evolved into such labour relationships where the workers became tied to the landlords being mortgaged in the same manner as land and other property. These workers overtimes became permanently bonded to the masters. The kamaiya system was first noticed by anthropologists in the 1960s (Robertson and Mishra, 1997), but it came to wider public attention only after the change of polity in 1990 due in major part to the work of a few non-government organisations. The 1990s can be credited as the decade of the freedom movement of kamaiyas. Full-scale involvement of NGOs, national as well as local, with some level of support by some political parties, in launching education classes for kamaiyas and organising them into their groups culminated in a kind of national movement in 2000.

Even the minimum data necessary for the preparation of schemes were lacking. Relief measures were undertaken as and when floods occurred and such protection works· as were constructed were largely in the nature of temporary palliatives. There was no perceptible improvement in the position till the Central Government took up the matter, after the disastrous floods of 1954. · Schemes for flood control and protection cannot be worked out without the necessary technical data. Planning has t9 be done in an integrated manner. The problem is of a gigantic magnitude and adequate organizations have to be set up for the preparation and im­ plementation of the schemes. As a result of a detailed examination of the whole question last year, a programme was evolved for combat­ ing the menace of floods on a planned way over the entire country.

Do you think the human rights situation in s Dasain approaches there are indications that both sides will Nepal has improved or deteriorated in the when things seem most hopeless past one year? observe an unofficial festival truce, but prospects of peace A talks to resolve the conflict are more remote than ever. A purported statement from the Maoists declaring a Dasain-Tihar ceasefire on Tuesday turned out to be a hoax. Rebel spokesman Krishna Bahadur Mahara set the record straight by dashing off an e- statement, but that was followed on Wednesday by another release purportedly signed by Prachanda saying the original statement was correct and action would be taken against Mahara. Analysts do not rule out the possibility of army disinformation at work, and see signs of a rift in the Maoist hierarchy following the groups plenum in Dang last month which reportedly rejected peace talks for now. The meeting was followed by strident anti-Indian rhetoric and an intriguing silence on the part of Baburam Bhattarai, who is said to have favoured a softer line on India. The contradictions between central-level statements about links to fraternal parties and recent attacks on the leftist United Peoples Front in the mid-west hint at a breakdown in control. While the leadership calls on UN mediation, grassroots militia defy international condemnation of forced recruitment of school students, abduction of a Unicef staffer and looting of WFP aid.

The floods, landslides and avalanches in Nepal cause the loss of lives of about 300 people and damage to properties worth about 626 million NPR annually. Consequently, the overall development of the country has been adversely affected. The flood risk could be significantly reduced by developing effective operational flood early warning systems. Hence, a study has been conducted to assess flood danger levels and determine the threshold runoff at forecasting stations of six major rivers of Nepal for the purpose of developing threshold-stage based operational flood early warning system. Digital elevation model data from SRTM and ASTER supplemented with measured cross-section data and HEC-RAS model was used for multiple profile analysis and inundation mapping. Different inundation scenarios were generated for a range of flood discharge at upstream boundary and flood threshold levels or runoffs have been identified for each river, thus providing the basis for developing threshold-stage based flood early warning system in these rivers. Key Words Flood, danger level, threshold runoff, hydrodynamic model, geographic information system 1. INTRODUCTION Nepal's Terai region is the part of the Ganges River basin, which is one of the most disaster-prone regions in the world.
