Book excerpt: For centuries, a few high caste Hindus practiced sati (or suttee), a ritual that required a widow to surrender herself to be burned on her husband's funeral pyre. Although sati is illegal and extremely rare today, remnants of the custom in a social sense survive throughout most of Nepali society. Red symbolizes life, vibrancy, and passion-a color and existence that is often denied to women who have lost their husbands. Now, as then, by the time her husband's funeral fire is extinguished, the woman as wife no longer exists. Her separation from both family and society has begun.

Download or read book Forbidden Places Strange Faces written by Gavin Moles and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2014-05-15 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Author has a unique, artistic and romantic mind, with a special way of seeing and describing the world, and this time a very special way of travelling, with no plan, no map, no idea, therefore thinking what could possibly go wrong? He describes a journey he took through parts of Asia on a small budget fuelled with big dreams, following instincts and longing to find the legendary Shangrilla, timeless valleys, and revelations for inner growth. With Chorma's smile still warm in his heart, he sets off walking down a forbidden road through Tibet, hoping to reach Lhasa. The travel Gods answered his prayers as they often do when you ask, but he forgot to say exactly how he wished to get there! His writing style and artistic imagination will take you spiralling down infinite thoughts, hillarious situations and potential oblivion, sometimes floating, sometimes soaring, but always eventually appearing in wonderland drinking tea with the mad hatter himself. You will not want to put it down, just like travelling, eager to see what is just around the next corner?

Download or read book Menstruation in Nepal written by Sara Parker and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-06-28 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the complexities of menstrual beliefs and practices in Nepal. Taking an interdisciplinary and intersectional approach, it explores and promotes the rights of women, girls, and people who menstruate to a dignified and healthy menstruation. The volume • collates current research in Nepal from local academics, early career researchers, and the Dignity Without Danger research project; • provides a more nuanced understanding of the complex stigmas and taboos that surround menstruation; • highlights the importance of rethinking ideas of religion, gender, menstruation, stigma and taboos, cultural practises, and discrimination; • proposes a counter-narrative that places sociological studies at the heart of the discussion surrounding menstruation; and • calls for more collaborative action research to strengthen the links between academia and activism across disciplines. An authoritative contribution, the book will be of interest to scholars and researchers of gender studies, public health, sociology, human rights, South Asian studies, medical sociology, cultural studies, and social medicine, particularly for those concerned with Nepal.

Book excerpt: In 1999, Conrad Anker found the body of George Mallory on Mount Everest, casting an entirely new light on the mystery of the lost explorer. On 8 June 1924, George Leigh Mallory and Andrew 'Sandy' Irvine were last seen climbing towards the summit of Everest. The clouds closed around them and they were lost to history, leaving the world to wonder whether or not they actually reached the summit - some 29 years before Edmund Hillary and Tensing Norgay. On 1 May 1999, Conrad Anker, one of the world's foremost mountaineers, made the momentous discovery - Mallory's body, lying frozen into the scree at 27,000 feet on Everest's north face. Recounting this day, the authors go on to assess the clues provided by the body, its position, and the possibility that Mallory had successfully climbed the Second Step, a 90-foot sheer cliff that is the single hardest obstacle on the north face. A remarkable story of a charming and immensely able man, told by an equally talented modern climber.

Download or read book Kangchenjunga written by Doug Scott and published by Vertebrate Publishing. This book was released on 2021-07-01 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kangchenjunga is the third highest mountain in the world and a notoriously difficult and dangerous mountain to climb. First climbed from the west in 1955 by a British team comprising Joe Brown, George Band, Tony Streather and Norman Hardie, it waited over twenty years for a second ascent. The third ascent, from the north, followed in 1979 by a four-man team including the visionary British alpinist Doug Scott. Completed before his death in 2020, and edited by Catherine Moorehead, Kangchenjunga is Doug Scott's final book. Scott explores the mountain and its varied people – the mountain sits on the border between Nepal and Sikkim in north-east India – before going on to look at Western approaches and early climbing attempts on the mountain. Kangchenjunga was in fact long believed to be the highest mountain in the world, until in the nineteenth century it was demonstrated that Peak XV – Everest – was taller. Out of respect for the beliefs of the Sikkim, no climber has ever set foot on the very top of Kangchenjunga, the sacred summit. Scott's own relationship with the mountain began in 1978, three years after his first British ascent of Everest with Dougal Haston. The assembled team featured some of the greatest mountaineers in history: Scott, Joe Tasker, Peter Boardman and Georges Bettembourg. The plan was for a stripped-down expedition the following spring – minimal Sherpa support, no radios, largely self-financed. It was the first time a mountain of this scale had been attempted by a new and difficult route without the use of oxygen, and with such a small team. Scott, Tasker and Boardman summited on 16 May 1979, further cementing their legends in this golden era. Kangchenjunga is Doug Scott's tribute to this sacred mountain, a paean for a Himalayan giant, written by a giant of Himalayan climbing.

Download or read book Errant Journeys written by David Zurick and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-07-22 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tourism is becoming one of the world's most important economic activities. There is hardly a place on earth, no matter how inaccessible, that has not been visited by some traveler seeking adventure, enlightenment, or simply change from the familiar world back home. In this pathfinding book, David Zurick explores the fastest-growing segment of the travel industry—adventure travel. He raises important questions about what constitutes the travel experience and shows how the modern adventure industry has commercialized the very notion of adventure by packaging it as tours. Drawing on two decades of personal travel, as well as the writings of others, Zurick unravels the paradox of adventure travel—that the very act of visiting remote places untouched by Western culture introduces that culture and begins irreversible changes. This first in-depth look at adventure travel opens new insights into the physical, philosophical, and spiritual attributes of the travel experience. Written in a lively style, the book is intended for everyone interested in travel and its effects on both travelers and the people and places they visit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hidden Truth is an interesting and well-researched book. It is the product of historical investigative study, highly beneficial, and can be educationally used by all those who are interested in history, culture, anthropology, and historical events. The book’s illustrations and images have made the contents more meaningful and interesting. Provoking claims about Aryan and Mongol history, the ubiquity of the hexagon, trades, and skills being associated with the Jews, the meaning and significance behind various symbolisms and artefacts, and much more can be found in the book. Interestingly, the book lays bare striking, even identical similarities between and among various cultural practices, and shows that the Mongols are the Bene-Ephraim, the sons of Ephraim, and that so-called untouchables or Dalits are from the tribe of Levi, whereas the various communities in Central India called Bene-Israel certainly are Jews. Also, the book analyzes the caste and complexion system in a fresh light that is liberating. It is a must-read book for anyone who wants to grasp the meaning behind various cultural practices, misconceptions surrounding them, and the true way out for a higher human dignity and a better world.
