International Print judging, YPOY judging, POY contest 3 and its final round, FIP interclub and finally our portfolio for the Asia Photo Festival, Singapore starting on the 10th December 2020. As nowadays our lives are evolved around the threat perception of Covid 2019 we are learning to live with it. Many of our colleagues are Corona warriors now and FIP salutes them for fighting it out. Lessons can be learnt from them but the bottom line is one can't be too cautious . We must perceive every person coming in close contact to be a corona suspect and take enough precautions. Lately, FIP is getting calls from abroad for Salon Recognition as well as distinctions. In the light of these, we are making some key changes in our fee structure to make it more attractive for the foreigners. The burgeoning number of National Salons are a concern as regulating them is proving to be a challenge. Some photographers are running Salons with their spouses as chairpersons which make you think about the real agenda behind it. Recently we came across a so called photo club from West Bengal with address of Bangalore. FIP doesn't have policing powers and we are not detectives but common sense is commonly available to all of us and FIP has the privilege of the support from Team Salon Saathi under the able leadership of DigwasBelmane. From the year 2021, you will notice some new regulations to prevent our National salons from over burning itself. You will also see changes in our entire fee structure vis a vis FIP as well FIAP distinctions. FIAP distinction fee are likely to go up by nearly 40% in 2021. We have curtailed our Manglazodi workshop from two to one as many delegates cancelled their journey in the light of Corona threats. Till June 2021 FIP will not undertake any outdoor workshops but some great indoor workshops are in the pipeline and will be announced in the new year. Friends, I can not resist the temptation of wishing you a very happy Christmas and a great new year full of wonderful images and successes to you and your family members in all walks of lives. Jai Ho FIP In the light of new hike in FIAP distinction fee FIP will announce in January 2021, a new fee structure for FIP, FIAP distinctions applicable to Indians as well as Foreigners. VIEWFINDER DECEMBER, 2020 3 Fundamentals of Liquid Droplet Photography found Miops, Water Splash Art, Time Machine, MJKZZ, StopShot etc. Further, I found one available in India with the name of DropRobo.

I was amazed to see Liquid Droplet photography containing such beautiful and fancy images of more than 200 pages. different type of patterns and structures of Liquid droplets, which were made only with couple of Drops. At this point of time, I decided to try it for myself. Manual Method To give it a try, I started with a Manual Method using a medicine dropper (I.V. Set) with simple off camera flash in the year 2012. This experiment was not at all successful as I could not achieve any umbrella type collision pictures as seen on internet. However, I got many interesting Worthington Jets and different abstract. As usual, after this failure, I got discouraged and dropped the idea of exploring it further. Again in 2019, I was tempted to try this art. This time also I tried with the same manual set up although with some improvisations. Again I was not successful. Electronic Drip Kit Method However, I kept on exploring and found that an electronic device is required to do The simple & basic setup of Liquid Drop Lab.

  • Post-Rana Ties Between Nepali Royalty and National Park Staff
    Kings as Wardens and Wardens as Kings: Post-Rana Ties between Nepali Royalty and National Park Staff Nina Bhatt This article locates Nepali national park staff (game scouts, rangers and park wardens) in the context of their historical ties with monarchy. The pre-andolan (1951–90) accounts by park staff show how their individual and collective identities were shaped through encounters with royalty, which informed their everyday practices. The social relations, professional goals, and familial desires envisioned by government servants were linked to their perceived closeness with the Nepali kings and through specific events such as royal hunts. Historically, park staff have displayed particularly strong regard and allegiances for the royal family since Nepali kings sanctioned much of Nepal’s early conservation efforts and because monarchs espoused close ties with these officials in the setting up of national parks. I NTRODUCTION NATIONAL PARK STAFF in Nepal have traditionally viewed the Nepalese royal family in varied and often mutually conflicting ways.1 Royals were avid hunters, yet be- came selfless conservationists.2 Royals were the consumers of nature for private amusement, yet in quick succession they demarcated forested lands in the interest of public consumption and national good.3 For most game park staff, any en- counters with the royal family in the nature preserves are a source of inspiration fundamental to identity construction.4 The 1990 revolution (andolan) was a watershed in the relationship between royalty and rangers.5 During the pre-andolan period (1951–90),6 the royal family’s interest in nature and in the well-being of park bureaucrats (expressed by frequent personal visits) was crucial in shaping a largely positive world-view for government officials.

  • The Abolition of Monarchy and Constitution Making in Nepal
    THE KING VERSUS THE PEOPLE（BHANDARI） Article THE KING VERSUS THE PEOPLE: THE ABOLITION OF MONARCHY AND CONSTITUTION MAKING IN NEPAL Surendra BHANDARI Abstract The abolition of the institution of monarchy on May 28, 2008 marks a turning point in the political and constitutional history of Nepal. This saga of constitutional development exemplifies the systemic conflict between people’s’ aspirations for democracy and kings’ ambitions for unlimited power. With the abolition of the monarchy, the process of making a new constitution for the Republic of Nepal has started under the auspices of the Constituent Assembly of Nepal. This paper primarily examines the reasons or causes behind the abolition of monarchy in Nepal. It analyzes the three main reasons for the abolition of monarchy. First, it argues that frequent slights and attacks to constitutionalism by the Nepalese kings had brought the institution of the monarchy to its end. The continuous failures of the early democratic government and the Supreme Court of Nepal in bringing the monarchy within the constitutional framework emphatically weakened the fledgling democracy, but these failures eventually became fatal to the monarchical institution itself. Second, it analyzes the indirect but crucial role of India in the abolition of monarchy. Third, it explains the ten-year-long Maoist insurgency and how the people’s movement culminated with its final blow to the monarchy. Furthermore, this paper also analyzes why the peace and constitution writing process has yet to take concrete shape or make significant process, despite the abolition of the monarchy. Finally, it concludes by recapitulating the main arguments of the paper.

THE IMPACT OF EDUCATION DURING THE RANA PERIOD IN NEPAL Gopi Nath Sharma Ministry of Education and Culture Kathmandu, Nepal Education in Pre-Rana Nepal The Lichhavi period at the beginning of the current millennia has been considered a period of renaissance in Nepalese arts, crafts, architecture, education, and culture. Despite this, the Lichhavi Kings looked upon education as an optional rather than requisite function of the State. Priests and monks imparted skills and values in various disciplines to a small number of pupils and disciples in their Gurukul and monasteries. The Gurukul system was a similar system to the modern boarding schools except that the pupils were usually Brahmins or the sons of the ruling elite.

Searle Department of English and Comparative Literature This five-chapter dissertation engages two conventionally separated fields— Modern Perso-Islamic textual criticism inaugurated by Mohammed Qazvini in the context of early 20th –century Iran and Orientalist scholarship, and post-modernist literary theory—to examine the significance of Chahār Maqāle for the intellectual discourse of modernity in Iran. Modern Textual Criticism applies its scientific philological research to the historical restoration of texts, ordinarily in a systematic method of excavation, documentation and establishment of the textual history, removal of non-authorial interpolations, avoidance of personal influence, and restoration of an original-authorial text. Post-modernist literary theory provides analytical tools for reading texts and editions within their respective milieux as historical products capable of trans-historical continuity. In particular this dissertation argues that the original and the reproduced versions of the text each reveals nuances of a particular historical moment that are not directly retrievable from antiquity, yet both versions share a continuing concern for recovering elements of Iranian identity, frequently obscured by the effects of a long history of Islamization.
