Book excerpt: Never before had Madhesh or what is also called Terai region attracted as much national and international attention as it happened in last few years. This is mainly on account of the movement that the people in the region, popularly called Madheshis, have waged against the feudal state for its discriminatory treatment with them. In June 2015, however, three or four leaders of major political parties ganged up and decided to draft new constitution to perpetuate centuries old feudal rule. As such, the Madhesh-based political parties were excluded in each step of constitution making process. This was the reason why the Madheshis began to make protests against the constitution since the beginning. In the wake of protests, the Madheshis imposed general strike in Terai for six months and imposed border blockade for five months until the beginning of February 2016. At a time Kathmandu was making celebrations with a great fanfare on the eve of promulgation of constitution on September 20, 2015, the Madheshis were observing the occasion as black day. In the wake of suppressing Madheshi movement in 2015-16, nearly 60 people were killed and many more were injured. The struggle of the Madheshi people did not stop as yet. On March 6, 2017, five more Madheshi activists were killed at Rajbiraj for the only reason that they opposed elements that provoked Madheshi sentiments. Even after a year-and-half of the promulgation of new constitution, it could not be implemented. Of course, the constitution was amended, but it did not satisfy the Madheshi agitators for its failure to address their concerns. In their 11-point demands, the Madheshi Morcha leaders have made it amply clear as to what changes they want in the constitution. Also, the Federal Alliance, which is the alliance of 29 Madhesh-based and hill-Janajati groups, in their 26-point demands further clarified their stand on the constitution. The only solution to Madhesh problem is to amend the constitution, if not rewriting it altogether, to address the demands of agitating Madhesh-based political parties before holding local, provincial and parliamentary elections. The main demands of Madheshis, include re-drawing provincial boundaries, population-based elections, inclusive representation in each organ of state mechanism and removal of anomalies in citizenship related matter.Ever since the Madheshis launched agitation against the new constitution from June 2015, I published articles on each important event in different print and electronic media in Nepal and India. The present book is the collection of those articles. While going through those articles, certain facts related to the demands of the Madheshis have been repeated from one article to the other, but they were contextual. Moreover, the book presents picture of each important event that took place during the Madheshi movement. My articles during the Madhesh movement were published in noted papers and websites in Nepal and India, including in My Republica, The Daily Pioneer, and Business Standard. Besides, the articles on Madhesh were also published in websites of IDSA, VIF India, India Foundation, Catchnews.com and Observer Research Foundation (ORF). For such support, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to those institutions.Last but not the least I would like to thank Bal Krishna Jha and all those friends of Madhesh who helped me to bring this on-line version of the book to those readers who are interested in Madhesh and its people.Hari Bansh Jha459, Sector 21 Gurgaon, HaryanaIndia

Download or read book State and Majority Nationalism in Plurinational States written by Daniel Cetrà and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-26 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do states respond to minority nations’ demands? Are state nationalism and majority nationalism the same? This book brings together the leading lights in nationalism studies to turn their attention to the neglected role of the state in nationalist disputes. The aspirations of state and majority nationalists often conflict with the aspirations of substate nationalist movements, leading to disputes over resources, symbolic recognition, and the structure of the state. State elites are then forced to supply arguments defending the political union and to articulate strategies for its continuation. In the process, they make explicit what being ‘national’ means and the symbolic repertoires for doing so. With case studies from China, Spain, the United Kingdom, Canada, India, and Nepal, this edited volume examines state and majority nationalism in all its guises, asking how states respond to nationalist challenges from below. It is particularly timely at a moment when territorial and secessionist crises are reshaping politics. State and Majority Nationalism in Plurinational States will be relevant reading for students and researchers of comparative politics and international relations, including those with a deep interest in territorial politics, national identities, group rights, and representation. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Nationalism and Ethnic Politics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the instabilities that growing industries face in developing countries, especially Nepal. Also, what happens when industries die out? It questions the rickety ride to industrialization and development - if at all it is avoidable? The author delves deep into its impact on human lives - what happens to those hundreds of thousands of people whose livelihoods are dependent on these industries? How do they inculcate new skillsets to suit changing requirements? What future awaits those who leave the country in search of a better tomorrow? The author challenges the existing perspective that the Maoist movement was essentially a rural, guerrilla warfare. She explains how the Maoist-led labour uprising in Nepal following the death of the garment industry was embedded in a broader political upheaval that was essentially urban in nature and was more about national politics than everyday politics in the margins.

Download or read book The Madhesi Upsurge and the Contested Idea of Nepal written by Kalpana Jha and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-03-20 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is set against the burning issue of ethnic uprisings in the Madhes region of Nepal and analyses debates on the idea of contemporary Nepal. The limited view of Nepal as a primarily hill nation with Nepali-speaking people ignores the vast ethnic and linguistic diversity of the country. It has particularly rendered stateless the Madhesi community which inhabits the plains bordering India and shares closer cultural affinity and marital ties across the border. Increasing demands for ethnic and territorial autonomy by the Madhesis suggest the need for redefining the idea of Nepal and establishing Madhesi identity as Nepali identity while at the same time addressing the deeply contested idea of regional versus social identity in the region. This book uses narratives from the Madhesi community including from prominent Madhesi analysts and activists, to define their identity as well as their aspirations in a democratic Nepal. It also provides a perspective on the internal dynamics of caste and language of this region and their possible impact on consolidating ethnic identities in Nepal.

Book excerpt: Over the last decade, Nepal has witnessed significant urban growth and an expanding urban middle class. Glimpses of Hope tells the story of the people who enable some of the middle-class consumer practices in urban Nepal. The book focuses on workers in areas such as modern food-processing, water-bottling, housebuilding, and sand-mining industries and explores how workers see such forms of work, where union organization can help, and how work opportunities emerge along lines of gender and ethnicity. Although global labor relations have been mostly in decline for decades, this ethnography offers insights and glimpses of hope in terms of labor dynamics and the opportunities various jobs may afford.

This book was released on 2023-10-04 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume scrutinizes the fundamentally uneven character of industrial production and working class formation by bringing together anthropologists specializing on industrial labour in various locations from South America, Western and Eastern Europe, North Africa, and South Asia. Through their engagement with Leon Trotsky’s concept of ‘uneven and combined development’ the authors unravel the complex relations that connect (and disconnect) labour in their sites of research with workers in other places and other times. As the contributions likewise reveal, the unevenness and combination inherent in industrial developments shape and are at the same time also shaped by the different politics workers in an unequal world pursue, as well as the historical experiences and future expectations of workers that inform these. With the attention the authors pay to the specificities of ethnographic detail as well as to broader regional and global developments the volume demonstrates the value of long-term ethnographic research and is of interest to a wide audience ranging from specialists in the fields of anthropology, history, sociology and development studies to students and activists.

Download or read book People, Money and Power in the Economic Crisis written by Keith Hart and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2014-10-01 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cold War was fought between “state socialism” and “the free market.” That fluctuating relationship between public power and private money continues today, unfolding in new and unforeseen ways during the economic crisis. Nine case studies -- from Southern Africa, South Asia, Brazil, and Atlantic Africa – examine economic life from the perspective of ordinary people in places that are normally marginal to global discourse, covering a range of class positions from the bottom to the top of society. The authors of these case studies examine people’s concrete economic activities and aspirations. By looking at how people insert themselves into the actual, unequal economy, they seek to reflect human unity and diversity more fully than the narrow vision of conventional economics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sino-Indian War of 1962 delivered a crushing defeat to India: not only did the country suffer a loss of lives and a heavy blow to its pride, the world began to see India as the provocateur of the war, with China ‘merely defending’ its territory. This perception that China was largely the innocent victim of Nehru’s hostile policies was put forth by journalist Neville Maxwell in his book India’s China War, which found readers in many opinion makers, including Henry Kissinger and Richard Nixon. For far too long, Maxwell’s narrative, which sees India as the aggressor and China as the victim, has held court. Nearly 50 years after Maxwell’s book, Bertil Lintner’s China’s India War puts the ‘border dispute’ into its rightful perspective. Lintner argues that China began planning the war as early as 1959 and proposes that it was merely a small move in the larger strategic game that China was playing to become a world player—one that it continues to play even today.

Download or read book Peacebuilding in Deeply Divided Societies written by Fletcher D. Cox and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-07-04 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores a critical question: in the wake of identity-based violence, what can internal and international peacebuilders do to help “deeply divided societies” rediscover a sense of living together? In 2016, ethnic, religious, and sectarian violence in Syria and Iraq, the Central African Republic, Myanmar, and Burundi grab headlines and present worrying scenarios of mass atrocities. The principal concern which this volume addresses is “social cohesion” - relations within society and across deep divisions, and the relationship of individuals and groups with the state. For global peacebuilding networks, the social cohesion concept is a leitmotif for assessment of social dynamics and a strategic goal of interventions to promote resilience following violent conflict. In this volume, case studies by leading international scholars paired with local researchers yield in-depth analyses of social cohesion and related peacebuilding efforts in seven countries: Guatemala, Kenya, Lebanon, Nepal, Nigeria, Myanmar, and Sri Lanka.

Download or read book Religion, Secularism, and Ethnicity in Contemporary Nepal written by David N. Gellner and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The socio-political landscape of Nepal has been rocked by dramatic and far-reaching changes in the past thirty years. Following a ten-year Maoist revolution and civil war, the country has transitioned from a monarchy to a republic. The former Hindu kingdom has declared its commitment to secularism, without coming to any agreement on what secularism means or should mean in the Nepalese context. What happens to religion under conditions of such rapid social and political change? How do the changes in public festivals reflect and/or create new group identities? Is the gap between the urban and the rural narrowing? How is the state dealing with Nepal’s multicultural and multi-religious society? How are Nepalis understanding, resisting, and adapting ideas of secularism? In order to answer these important questions, this volume brings together eleven case studies by an international team of anthropologists and ethno-Indologists of Nepal on such diverse topics as secularism, individualism, shamanism, animal sacrifice, the role of state functionaries in festivals, clashes and synergies between Maoism and Buddhism, and conversion to Christianity. In an Afterword, renowned political theorist Rajeev Bhargava presents a comparative analysis of Nepal’s experiences and asks whether the country is finding its own solution to the conundrum of secularism.

This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Political Economy of Social Change and Development in Nepal is an accessible contemporary political economic analysis of social change in Nepal. It considers whether and how Nepal's political economy might have been transformed since the 1950s while situating these changes in Nepal's modern history and its location in the global economic system. It assembles and builds on the scholarship on Nepal from a multidisciplinary and synoptic perspective. Focusing on local discourses, experiences and expectations of transformations, it draws our attention to how powerful historical processes are experienced and negotiated in Nepal and assess how these may, at the same time, produce ideas of equality, human rights and citizenship while also generating new forms of precarity.

Download or read book Media as Politics in South Asia written by Sahana Udupa and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-14 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dramatic expansion of the media and communications sector since the 1990s has brought South Asia on the global scene as a major center for media production and consumption. This book is the first overview of media expansion and its political ramifications in South Asia during these years of economic reforms. From the puzzling liberalization of media under military dictatorship in Pakistan to the brutal killings of journalists in Sri Lanka, and the growing influence of social media in riots and political protests in India, Nepal and Bangladesh, the chapters analyse some of the most important developments in the media fields of contemporary South Asia. Attentive to colonial histories as well as connections within and beyond South Asia in the age of globalization, the chapters combine theoretically grounded studies with original empirical research to unravel the dynamics of media as politics. The chapters are organized around the three frames of participation, control and friction. They bring to the fore the double edged nature of publicity and containment inherent in media, thereby advancing postcolonial perspectives on the massive media transformation underway in South Asia and the global South more broadly. For the first time bringing together the cultural, regulatory and social aspects of media expansion in a single perspective, this interdisciplinary book fills the need for overview and analytical studies on South Asian media.
