Bibliography of Indian Scholarship on Nepal Version 1.0 [15 March 2015] Bibliography of Indian Scholarship on Nepal Compiled by Shak Bahadur Budhathoki, Ramita Maharjan and Pratyoush Onta with editorial assistance by Lokranjan Parajuli, all at Martin Chautari (MC) This is the first draft of a bibliography of works done by Indian scholars on themes related to Nepal. We started with a short bibliography prepared by Pratyoush Onta while he was researching the status of area studies in India during the year 2000 and enlarged it through new research and compilation. Sources consulted included relevant books, edited volumes, academic journals published from India, Nepal, and elsewhere, occasional paper series published by various research centers and universities, and relevant dissertation databases. We also did research at the Tribhuvan University Central Library (TUCL), and the libraries of the Centre for Nepal and Asian Studies (CNAS) and Martin Chautari. We consulted the online catalogs of the US Library of Congress (catalog.loc.gov) and World Catalog (www.worldcat.org) and did research in the online archives of JSTOR (www.jstor.org/) and Google Scholar (scholar.google.com). We also contacted several individuals and asked for lists of their relevant publications and details about dissertations that had been completed in their universities. This bibliography is incomplete in several ways. First, relevant entries in the theme covered are missing simply because we did not have access to that information. This might especially be true for MA, MPhil and PhD dissertations done by Indian scholars on subjects related to Nepal in universities in India, elsewhere in South Asia and beyond. Also we had access to a limited number of journals published from India and it is possible that more writings by Indian scholars on Nepal have been published in other Indian journals. Second, this bibliography mostly covers work done since India gained its independence in 1947. Hence, works that were done in earlier periods are missing. Third, our focus has been on core social science disciplines. So, works written from disciplines in the humanities are missing. Perhaps even some other social science disciplines might have been under‐represented in this bibliography. Based on this draft bibliography, we can say that Indian scholarship on Nepal is quite substantial in volume. Hundreds of books, edited volumes, journal articles and occasional papers have been published in the last 65‐70 years. The themes that have dominated Indian scholarship related to Nepal include political history, Indo‐Nepal diplomatic and trade relations, trans‐border migration, challenges of regional cooperation, and hydro‐related politics. There is very little engagement with the substantial amount of social science writings (especially anthropological) available on Nepal by non‐South Asian scholars in Indian scholarship on Nepal. Research by Indian sociologists and anthropologists on Nepal is virtually absent. All efforts have been made to ensure the accuracy of the entries given herein. However there might still be inadvertent errors in them. We would appreciate suggestions regarding any corrections that need to be made in the entries given here and additions of relevant items missing in this edition of the bibliography. Such suggestions should be sent to us at either [email protected] or [email protected]. Relevant and correct additional information will be incorporated in revised editions of this bibliography in future. We are grateful to many Indian colleagues who provided us information related to this bibliography. In this regard, special thanks are due to Nihar Nayak, Srinivasan Ramani, Swatahsiddha Sarkar, Sangeeta Thapliyal, Anjoo Sharan Upadhyaya, and B.C. Upreti for their various help. We are also grateful to Page 1 of 53 Ankalal Chalaune, Kishor Pradhan, Harshaman Maharjan, Yogesh Raj and other colleagues at Martin Chautari for their assistance during the compilation and editing of this bibliography.

  • Zombie Slayers in a “Hidden Valley” (Sbas Yul): Sacred Geography and Political Organisation in the Nepal-Tibet Borderland1
    Zombie Slayers in a “Hidden Valley” (sbas yul): Sacred Geography and Political Organisation in the Nepal-Tibet Borderland1 Francis Khek Gee Lim The Himalaya, with its high peaks and deep valleys, served for centuries as natural geographical frontier and boundary between the kingdoms and states of South Asia it straddles. Given the strategic advantage of controlling that high ground, it is little wonder that the Himalaya has throughout history witnessed countless skirmishes between neighbouring states that sought such strategic advantage. The interest in this mountain range, of course, was not restricted to matters of defence. North-south trade routes criss-crossed the Himalayan range, connecting the Tibetan plateau to the rest of the Indian subcontinent, ensuring lucrative tax revenues for those who controlled these economic lifelines. In the era of European colonialism in the “long” 19th century, the Himalaya became embroiled in what has been called the “Great Game” between the British and Russian empires, who sought to expand their respective commercial and imperial interests in the region. Due to its pristine environment, awe-inspiring mountains, and the remoteness of its valleys, the Himalaya was also the well-spring of countless legends, myths and romantic imaginings, engendering the sacralisation of the landscape that had served as a source of religious inspiration for peoples living both in its vicinity and beyond. Hence, despite its remoteness — or because of it — warfare, pilgrimages, trade and the search for viable areas of settlement have been some of the key factors contributing to the migratory process and interest in the area. Largely because they lay in the frontier zone, enclaves of Tibetan settlements located deep in the numerous Himalayan valleys were often on the outer fringes of state influence, enjoying a significant degree of local autonomy until processes of state consolidation intensified in the last century or so, as exemplified by the case of Nepal.

  • The Evolution of Administration in Nepal
    THE EVOLUTION OF ADMINISTRATION IN NEPAL From 1951 to 1960 BY GEHA RAJ JOSHI RESEARCH SCHOLAR UNDER THE TECHNICAL COOPERATION SCHEME OF (COLOMBO PLAN) JUNE, 1963 Thesis submitted for Ph. D. Degree in Political Science to Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, India. T2939 ABSTR ACT k study of the complete picture of the administration in Nepal as it evolved from 1951, or (during the period of one decade) has been done in the present wrk. During theRana Regime there was no administration in the true sense. It was the personal rule of the perpetually hereditary Rana Prime Ministers, his monbers of the family and his followers. This phase of Nepalese Rana Administration continued for a full century. This crumbled down at the dissatisfaction of the agitating masses and the disgust of the late King Tribhuwana. It was only in 1961, that Nepal emerged from the land of rudiment of administration into a country with full fledged modern democratic state based upon enlightended and benevolent administration and its several institutions. For the first time, the detailed ^alysis of the modern new administration and its experiments have been described. Thus, in this thesis, an attempt has been made to examine the various germs (genesis) of well-organized system of public administration in Nepal, The various administrative units and the growth of modern administration in Nepal has been explained and elaborated in altogether seven chapt^'s. First of all, it was felt necessary to trace the influence of geographical position and the political history of Nepal on the changes and tendencies of public administration in Nepal, After doing this (introduction) the first chapter entitled •Nepalese Rana Administration^ serves as the background for the further study of subsequent chapters.

    ^ THE SECRETARY-GENERAL 7 February 1997 Dear Ms. Thant, I wish to thank you for your kind letter of congratulations on my appointment as Secretary-General, and for the interesting material on your father you sent with it. The booklet on the history of U Thant's term as Secretary-General reminds one of the tumultuous circumstances surrounding his appointment, and of the courage with which he took on his new responsibilities. Of the many crises he had to contend with, some have, thankfully, faded into history, while others are still on our agenda today. I must hope to match U Thant's calm as we continue the search for workable solutions! Please thank your husband for his warm regards, and accept the best wishes of myself and Mrs. Annan for you both.

  • The Need of Change in Contemporary Nepalese Foreign Policy
    A Peer-Reviewed Article The need of Change in Contemporary Nepalese Foreign Policy Ram Kumar Dahal Abstract The year 2017 has witnessed important changes in Nepal including the holding of Central, Provincial and Local elections in course of implementing the federal constitution-the constitution of Nepal, 2015. Besides these national changes, important changes have occurred in regional and global politics. In the changed national, regional and global context, Nepal has to readjust, reorient and reformulate its foreign policy to serve the growing needs and aspirations of its people. Both the internal and external issues and challenges have to be timely and properly addressed by means of an appropriate contemporary Nepalese foreign policy. The nonaligned foreign policy formulated during the cold war period has to develop new mechanisms and capabilities to cope with the changing time and situation, to fulfill the growing aspirations and expectations of the Nepalese people in the present context and to maintain its independent regional and global image and personality. In this context, Nepal has to realize the significance of its specific, unique and peculiar characteristics and convert/transform them as elements of national power and contribute towards strengthening/consolidating its foreign policy. Keywords: Capability, consolidating, landlock, geo-strategically, negotions, superpower. The need of... Ram Kumar Dahal - 82 - Introduction The contemporary Nepalese foreign policy has been analyzed here on the basis of fast changing national, regional and global milieu. With the beginning of the 21st century, a number of important and unprecedented changes have occurred in Nepalese politics. The post April 2006, in particular, witnessed many revolutionary changes.
