मधेसी समुदायले मधेसीहरूको हकहितका लागि निर्वाचनमा भाग लिने गरी मधेस केन्द्रित राजनीतिक पार्टीहरूखोलेजस्तै भूमिगत रूपमा सशस्त्र आन्दोलन गर्नेगरी केही भूमिगत संगठनहरू वि.सं. २०५० सालदेखि वि.सं. २०६४सालसम्म पटक पटक खुलेका थिए । सप्तरीका जयकृष्ण गोइतले वि.सं. २०६१ साल साउन ११ गते तराई जनतान्त्रिकमुक्ति मोर्चा खोलेपछि मधेसमा भूमिगत सशस्त्र गतिविधि बढेको थियो । संविधानसभाको निर्वाचन हुनु अघिदेखि नैभूमिगत संगठनहरूले विज्ञप्ती जारी गरेर मागहरू प्रस्तुत गर्ने र सरकारले समेत बार्ताका लागि पत्रहरू पठाउने कामहरूगरिरहेको थियो । संविधानसभाको निर्वाचन पछि संविधानसभा नियमावली, २०७० को नियम ६५ को उपनियम (८)बमोजिम संवैधानिक राजनीतिक संवाद तथा सहमति समितिले ‘संविधानसभा बाहिर रहेका विभिन्न राजनीतिक दल तथा सरोकारवालाहरूसंग वार्ता गरी संविधान निर्माणमा सबैको सहयोग जुटाउनु पर्ने भन्ने उत्तरदायित्व र जिम्मेवारी पुरागर्न संवैधानिक– राजनीतिक संवाद तथा सहमति समितिले मिति २०७१ जेठ ८ गते गठित प्रारम्भिक वार्ता उपसमितिलेसो अनुरूप नेपाल सरकारका सहमति र सहकार्यमा विभिन्न समयमा विभिन्न राजनीतिक दल, सशस्त्र समूहहरूसंगबर्ता गर्दै आएको थियो । यो क्रम वि.सं. २०७५ सालमा सरकारले सांसद सोमप्रसाद पाण्डेको संयोजकत्वमा गठन गरेकोराजनीतिक वार्ता टोली, २०७५ले समेत पटक पटक बार्ताहरू गरेर संझौता गर्ने, कारागार, गृह प्रशासन लगायतलाई पत्रहरू पठाएर निर्णयहरू पठाउने र सुरक्षाको व्यवस्था मिलाउन भन्ने जस्ता कुराहरू गरेको थियो ।पटक पटक बार्तामा बसेर संझौताहरू गर्ने भूमिगत सशस्त्र संगठनहरूले हतियारहरू बुझाउने, आफ्नो सशस्त्रआन्दोलन त्याग्ने कामहरू गरेका भएपनि उनीहरूले आन्दोलनको समयमा उठाएका मागहरूलाई सम्बोधन गर्नुभन्दातत्काल भूमिगत संगठनका मानिसहरूलाई आन्दोलन रोक्न लगाउने र उनीहरूको बन्दी र लागेका मुद्दाहरू खारेज गर्नेआश्वासन सहितको सहमतिहरू भएको पाइन्छ । तर वि.सं. २०८० को भदौ मसान्तसम्म पनि बार्तामा भएकास हमतिहरू कार्यान्वय भएन भनेर सरकारसंग बार्ता गरिसकेका २७ वटा संगठनहरूले साझा रूपमा ‘सहमति कार्यान्वयसहयोग अभियान’ मार्फत सरकारलाई सहमति कार्यान्वयन गर्न दवाव दिइरहेका छन् । सहमतिहरू आंशिक रूपमा कार्यान्वयन भए पनि पूर्णरूपमा कार्यान्वयन भएका छैनन् । यसले मधेसमा पुनः सशस्त्र भूमिगत संगठनहरू सक्रिय हुनसक्ने सम्भावनाहरू बढेर गएको देखिन्छ ।

Shifting cultivation is a form of land use pattern among poor and indigenous communities with a rotation of cultivation and follow in the same unit of land. Thousands of indigenous people, with majority households for subsistence living, are depending on shifting cultivation practices. Shifting cultivation in Nepal, locally called as Khoriya or Bhasme, is a land use practice in which indigenous communities clear and cultivate secondary forests in plots of different sizes, leave these plots to regenerate naturally through fallows of medium to long duration. This practice is in transition these days with rising population of shifting cultivators and demand of more food stuff. This case study demonstrates the relationship among land use practices, people livelihood and health issues of Rai community who have involved in shifting cultivation practices in Balakhu Village of Okhaldhunga.

Status of Foreign Labour Migration and Impact of Migrants by COVID - 19 in Nepal

2023-09-30T03:05:59+00:00

The paper based on the status of labour migration and remittances of Nepal in 2014 to 2022. The aims of this paper are to find out the situation of foreign labour migration in Nepal and to examine the impact of COVID-19 on the Outflow of Nepali Migrants. It is descriptive in nature and entirely based on secondary sources of information. The trends in foreign employment are presented for past eight years, 2009/10-2018/19. Although Nepal labour migration report 2022 and prelimanari report of 2021, this report reiterates those trends along with updated data from the past fiscal year to create a single comprehensive report. According to National Living Standard Survey 2011, 56 percent of Nepali households have at least one member of their family working and living abroad. The remittances sent by these members have helped improve the standard of living of Nepali households. In 2020, the remittances sent by migrant workers covered to 23.5 percent of the Nepal’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Therefore, international labor migration plays a huge role in keeping Nepal’s economy afloat. The decision of the youths to go abroad as labor was a strategy to escape from the potential threat, livelihood options, and get new country experience which ultimately became the major source to bring back remittance. Though low- skilled, foreign labor migration has been the major phenomenon for the country, which is now fully dependent on the remittance economy and counts for over one- fourth of the total national income. Nepal has undertaken several policy measures to overcome these anomalies. Although the implementation aspect is fragile to meet the ground reality, and from the notion of strategic intervention, it is necessary to revisit the policy measures to make foreign labor migration safe, secure, and informed choice based.

Historical Processes of Power, Knowledge, and Identity Change in Gurungs: With Relevancy to Identity Conflict and Modern Debates in Nepal

2023-09-30T03:13:31+00:00

The major theme of this paper is to demystify prior theoretical concepts of cultural identity in Gurungs and tries to establish new arguments regarding identity. Most of the previous theoretical contributions found that identity always remains the same and is fixed in a single blood, land, or territory. However, this paper claims that identity cannot be understood as a fixed form, it is always changed and constructed in a historical time frame. Even different forms of cultural and ritual practices in societies have been created in certain time frames and are also being changed. Based on this, the construction of Gurungs’ identity was the consequence of long historical processes and power formation. Recently, many social scientists have argued that culture and identity should not be understood as observing the only objective reality but need to be subjected. It can be interpreted as understanding the long historical migratory processes, contacting different clans, and groups, studying the historical power formations, new knowledge establishments, economic relations, and changes. Gurungs’ identity and culture can only be interpreted by understanding the historical migratory roots in the northern foothills from Mt. Kailash to Kaski, Lamjung, and Gorkha and contact with different kings’ (local king (Kroh) powers, Ghale king powers, Hindu kings’ powers, and modern economic powers) and their formation of knowledge in a historical timeframe. Power is the major key factor in the creation of culture and identity but it does not mean only political power, rather understood as established new knowledge formation in the society.

2023-09-30T03:22:07+00:00

Tribhuvan University (TU) is the only central and the eldest university in Nepal. It has been the role model of the other universities here and it has own identity globally in the meaning of number of student, provision of various subjects, eco-friendly landscape with the sufficient physical infrastructure and so on. It is still the prime choice of Nepali students whose economy is poor for higher studies, but those who are financially sound, try to go abroad after school level education. Despite TU having enough land property including human resources in comparison to other Nepali universities, the students do not seem fully satisfied in average with the academic activities, some central level educational policies, management system, service and hospitality of the core staffs resultantly unable to perform excellent in the final examination. Keeping old and new some philosophies of education in the mind, for example, Socrates, John Dewey, E. George Payne and some others, this research article renders passionately in the mind of many stakes holder student and teachers at TU’s one constituent campus, Patan Multiple Campus, Patandhoka (Lalitpur) as a sample study through interviews. It reads some lines of the Nepali mass media in the recent so that the related authorities of TU will get feedback for rectification in time in the favor of the nation as well as to reset its own glorious past image in the society, thus, quasi-experimental method works in this article.

Unity and Diversity of Neplese Culture

2023-09-30T03:38:25+00:00

The Nepalese population is not the product of an intimate miscegenation of a number of diverse races and there can found more racial ramifications, with separate languages and customs connected with them. They may have come from outside or some of them may be traced as aborigine groups, and there may be the evidences of racial, geographical and economic diversities, but so far the "cultural milieux" is concerned it's the out product and supra-product of the common racial contribution of different languages and cultural groups of Nepalese people. We are at present conscious of a common Nepalese Ness of outlook although are some 'agent provocative' of Indian sub-cont endeavoring much to 'discrep and divast' the Nepalese cultural unity discarding Hinduism on the basis of sectarianism, regionalism and so called aboriginalisms. It is, being the source of violence, which can disintegrate the nation ultimately. For the communalists Hinduism is but a 'stratagem or intrigue' created by 'Bahun and Chhetries' for the exploitation, suppression, oppression and recognized as 'Ko domination of and against other castes and ethics groups. They promote the ideas of' Magarata' 'Khasana' 'Sesants' 'Lembuana' 'Kerata' 'Gyu-Rong' (regions of nine chiefs of Gurungs) 'Tharuwana' etc. as new Hindu people with their separate petty states, which may by the later half of the 18th century.

Implications of 9/11 Attacks in Waldman’s The Submission

2023-09-30T04:30:40+00:00

This paper scrutinizes the impacts of 9/11 attacks as portrayed in Amy Waldman’s The Submission that is written in 2011 after a decade of the incident. The research shows that the incident of 9/11 opens up both new challenges and opportunities for the people of the world in general and the Americans in particular. The article explains the reasons for the adversities that minorities and women experience in the aftermath of the attacks as depicted in the novel. As the terrorists are men, the incident of 9/11 is generally seen as a masculine event that overshadows the sufferings experienced by the women characters. The objective of the paper is to explore the repercussions of the attacks in the lives of the women as portrayed in the text. The article pictures the trials and tribulations of women from ethnic minorities of the non-western countries. The paper employs the feminist perspective to analyze the traumatic sufferings of the Asian women. I use the concept of E. Kaplan to analyze the fictional data to investigate into the status of ethnic minorities especially women in the post-9/11 situation in the United States of America. The finding of the research implies that women face more identity crisis than their counterparts in the aftermath of the incident regarding life, liberty and pursuit of happiness which are needed to lead lives with dignity.

Factors of the Inflation in Nepal

2023-10-02T10:56:37+00:00

This study examines the impacts of macroeconomic variables on the inflation in Nepal during 1975-2022. The variables considered for the study is limited to the use of broad money supply, real GDP, Indian prices. The results suggest that all variables considered are significant in long run implying that these variables are the determinants of inflation in Nepal. The results are consistent with monetary theory. The money supply and Indian prices cause inflation in the long-run based on an Ordinary Least Squares regression model. The empirical results show that in the long-run, the major determinants of inflation in Nepal are Indian inflation (0.453), real income (0.347),and exchange rate (0.224). In addition, Indian inflation (0.286), the exchange rate (0.141), and government deficit (0.039) have significant effects in the short-run. Finally, the error correction term is found to be negative and statistically significant suggesting a correction of short-run disequilibrium within two years.

The Influence of Social-media on Agenda-setting in Nepali Journalism

2023-10-03T06:23:08+00:00

This article examines the influence of social media on traditional media's role in shaping public opinion and agenda-setting in Nepal. Social media has emerged as a powerful medium, surpassing traditional media in terms of influence and reach. Drawing on the theoretical framework of agenda-setting, this study explores the current state of social media in Nepal. Using case studies and interviews with experts as primary sources and considering social media's purpose, use, and impact, the article presents a comprehensive analysis. The findings reveal that social media increasingly plays a stronger role in agenda-setting, while traditional media's ability to shape opinions and facilitate debates is diminishing. With its fast-paced dissemination, affordability, and visible impact, social media has overtaken traditional media in setting the agenda. However, the unrestricted production of content on social media poses risks, as it lacks an editing process. Traditional media, now relying on social media, faces intensified competition. To remain relevant and avoid weakening, news media must invest in content research and adapt to changing usage patterns. Upholding journalistic standards while leveraging the strengths of social media is crucial for traditional media in Nepal.

Meta- analysis: Base of Major Social Science Theories

2023-10-03T09:27:40+00:00

Meta-analytic techniques in social science analysis are becoming increasingly relevant today. In this article, we will present how a meta-analysis method can be a useful base for sociologists. Different methods for meta-analysis, unique "concept-driven" literature searches. However, this search strategy may limit the researcher's ability to fully exploit the substantial body of pertinent research in fields with high theoretical diversity, such as social science. We tend to adopt a "beat-driven" strategy, where repetitive searches and updated computerized search techniques are used to find more publications cross disciplinary. This measure-based search approach is typically illustrated by two meta-analyses that look at how various social factors affect the all-cause mortality rate. A trend like imperialism might be a jumble of different perspectives on what humanity means. Imperialism, both political and economic, is occasionally mentioned. Imperialism is not limited to historical methods, political or economic facets. Instead, imperialism may be a collection of various human endeavors. To reach a conclusion, systematic reviews and meta-analyses combine the findings of various studies. While meta-analyses of applied scientific discipline analysis may run into practical issues due to the nature of the analysis domain, they are particularly useful for combining evidence to inform policy. Data from secondary sources were used to write this article.

नेपाल एउटा भूपरिवेष्टित, अधिकांश भू–भाग पहाडी स्वरूपमा बनेको देश हो । संसारको सबैभन्दा अग्लोहिमालदेखि समथर मैदानसम्मका सबै भौगोलिक स्वरूपमा बनेको यस देशमा बसोवास गर्ने अधिकांश मानिसहरूकोजीविकोपार्जनको मुख्य श्रोत कृषि हो भने देशको राष्ट्रिय आय आर्जनको मुख्य श्रोत पनि जमिन नै हो । राष्ट्रिय आयकोमुख्य श्रोत मानिएको भूमिकर जनताबाट असुलउपर गर्ने नेपालको सनातन प्रचलन नै हो । भूमिकर सङ्कलनप्रकृयालाई प्रभावकारी वनाउन शासकहरूले समय समयमा फरक फरक प्रकारका प्रशासनिक तौरतरिका प्रचलनमाल्याउने गरेको देखिन्छ । यसै सन्दर्भमा यहाँ भूमिकरलाई प्रभावकारी ढङ्गले सङ्कलन गर्न राणा प्रधानमन्त्री चन्द्रशमसेरले लागु गरेको तालुकदारी व्यबस्था पनि एक हो । तालुकदारी व्यवस्था पहाडी क्षेत्रको भूमिकर सङ्कलनसँगसम्वन्धित व्यवस्था हो । यस व्यवस्थाभित्र दुईवटा पद विभाजन गरी अलगअलग कार्यक्षेत्र निर्धारण गरिएको थियो ।पहाडी क्षेत्रमा रहेको पाखो जग्गा जहाँ पानीमा हुने धान खेती हुँदैन त्यसको भूमिकर सङ्कलनको जिम्मेवारी पाएकोब्यक्तिलाई मुखियाको पदवी दिइएको थियो भने धान खेतको कर सङ्कलनको जिम्मेवारी पाएको व्यक्तिलाईजिम्मुवालको पदवी प्रदान गरिएको थियो । यी दुवै पदमा नियुक्त पदाधिकारीरुको नियुक्ति, कामगर्ने कार्यालय र कामकोप्रकृति हेर्दा जुन विशेषता देखिन्छन् त्यो विशेषता अरू कुनै पदाधिकारीहरूमा पाइँदैन । यो व्यवस्था नेपालमा झण्डैझण्डै पञ्चायती व्यवस्थाको अन्त्यसम्म नै अस्तित्वमा रहेको देखिन्छ ।

कुनै पनि हालतले कांग्रेस कम्युनिष्ट एकजुट हुन नदिने नीति असफल हुँदा पनि जनआन्दोलन विरोधी नीतिलिएको मरिचमान सिंह श्रेष्ठ नेतृत्वको पञ्चायती सरकारले उग्रवादीहरूको हथकण्डा भनेर अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय जगत्लाईअल्मल्याउन खोजे तापनि सफलता पाउन सकेन । जनआन्दोलनको आक्रोस दरबारतर्पm सोझिएपछि पनि अल्मल्याएरआफ्नो स्वार्थ सिद्ध गर्ने राजाको प्रयास एवं चाहना पनि पूरा भएन । जुन कुनै अवस्थामा पञ्चायती व्यवस्थाको अन्त्यबिना जनआन्दोलन नरोकिने घोषणा र प्रतिबद्धताबाट एक इन्च पनि नडगेका जनआन्दोलन कमाण्डर गणेशमान सिंहकोचट्टानी अडानले गर्दा राजा वीरेन्द्रको अल्मल्याउँदै लगेर जनआन्दोलन उपलब्धि विहिन बनाउने प्रयास पनि काम लागेन ।प्रज्ञा भवनको अन्तिम राज प्रयासलाई सफल हुन नदिने भन्दै सडकमा उत्रेर खबरदारी गरेका आन्दोलनकारी जनता एवंतरुण विद्यार्थीहरूले लोकेन्द्रबहादुर चन्दलाई राजिनामा नगरिनहुने बनाएपछि मात्र अन्तरिम सरकार २०४७ गठनको मार्गप्रशस्त भयो । जनआन्दोलन कमाण्डर गणेशमान सिंहसँगको परामर्शपछि विधिवत संवादलाई निर्णायक चरण तर्फ बढाएका राजाले कामाण्डरकै सल्लाहमा कृष्णप्रसाद भट्टराईको नेतृत्वमा अन्तरिम सरकार घोषणा गरेपछि नारायणहिटी राजदरबारमै प्रधानमन्त्रीलाई शपथ ग्रहण गराएका थिए । त्यसपछि सरासर सिंहदरबार पुगेका प्रधानमन्त्री भट्टराईले सार्वजनिक कार्यक्रमकै रूपमा मन्त्रीहरूलाई शपथ ग्रहण गराएर अन्तरिम सरकारको लक्ष्य–उद्देश्य प्रस्ट पारेपछि अन्तरिम सरकार सफल हुने आधार तयार भयो ।

समाजवाद उन्मुख संविधान र श्रमिकको अवस्था

2023-10-05T01:15:15+00:00

विगत लामो समय देखिको प्रयत्न स्वरुप नेपालमा संघीय लोकतान्त्रिक व्यवस्था स्थापित भयो । यो व्यवस्था लोकतान्त्रिक मात्र नभई गणतन्त्रात्मक र धर्म निरपेक्ष सहितको नयाँ विशेषतायुक्त पनि थियो । राजतन्त्रात्मक र एकात्मक प्रणालीले सम्पूर्ण समाजको समानुपातिक विकास हुन सक्दैन भनि जनताको चाहना र राजनैतिक दलहरुको अग्रसरताको कारण संविधानसभावाट नयाँ संविधान जसलाई नेपालको संविधान भनिन्छ, कार्यान्वयनमा आयो । यो संविधानले विभिन्न किसिमका मौलिक हक अधिकारहरु नागरिकलाई प्रत्याभूत गरेपनि आशातित रुपमा सफल कार्यान्वयन हुन सकिरहेको छैन । साथै यो मुलुकको कार्यदिशा समाजवाद उन्मुख हुनेछ भने स्पष्टताका साथ संविधानको प्रस्तावना एवम् धारा ४ (१) मा उल्लेख गरेपनि राज्यले समाजवादको यात्राको शुरुवात समेत गरेको पाईदैन । सिमान्तकृत समुदाय या भनौ श्रमजीविहरुको हक हित तथा सुरक्षाका विषयहरु नारामा मात्र सिमित भैरहेकोले समाजको एउटा हिस्सा जुन श्रमिकको रहेको छ त्यो वर्ग चरम अभाव र गरिवीबाट ग्रुजिरहेको र देशबाट पलायन भैरहेको यथार्थता छलएङ्ग छ । अव पनि समाजवाद कार्यान्वयनमा नलाग्ने हो भने संविधानको ओचित्यता विस्तारै लोप हुन जानेछ ।

नेपालमा सूचनाको हक र सूचना सदाचार

2023-10-05T03:22:41+00:00

नेपालमा सूचनाको हकको प्रचलन र अभ्यास क्रमशः फराकिलो हुँदै गएको सन्दर्भमा सूचना सदाचार (Information Integrity) चासोको विषय बनेको छ । एकातर्फ नागरिकले सूचना मागे वा नमागे पनि सार्वजनिक निकायले आफ्ना गतिविधि अध्यावधिक रुपमा स्वतः प्रकाशन गर्नुपर्ने सूचनाको हक सम्बन्धी कानुनले निर्दिष्ट गरेको प्रावधान सन्तोषजनक रुपमा कार्यान्वयन भएको पाइदैन । अर्कोतर्फ नागरिकले आफ्नो चासोको विषयमा माग गरेका सूचना सहज ढंगले प्राप्त गर्न सकेका छैनन् र प्राप्त गरेकै सूचनामा भर पर्न सकिने अवस्था छैन । यसबाट सूचनाको प्रदुषण बढ्नसक्ने जोखिम छ । प्रस्तुत आलेखमा नेपालमा सूचनाको हकको अभ्यास र सूचना सदाचारका आयाम बारे मामिला अध्ययन र व्याख्यात्मक विधि अपनाएर विश्लेषण गरिएको छ । एकातर्फ सार्वजनिक निकायहरुले समूचित रुपमा सूचना प्रवाह गर्न सकेका छैनन् भने अर्कोतर्फ मिथ्या वा प्रदुषित सूचनाको मात्रा बढ्दै जाँदा समाजमा नकारात्मक प्रभावबढ्दै गएको पाइएको छ ।
