Starting in the 1970s, and rapidly increasing since the 2000s, land outside of the Valley’s Newar cities has transformed from agricultural fields into a mixed development of planned and unplanned localities consisting of migrants from the hinterland and urbanites from the city center.

  • 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.
