DOWNLOAD EBOOK"This ethnography explores Nepal's political transition in the twenty-first century through the most recent generation of student activists to have entered national politics. Based on multi-sited ethnographic research between 2003 and 2015, it illuminates a generation's political coming of age during a decade of civil war (1996-2006) and ongoing democratic street protests (2003-2006), which finally ousted the monarchy in 2008 and established a democratic secular republic. It tracks this generation's entrâee into politics through the stories of five young street activists as they shift to working within mainstream politics. The concept of political regeneration is used to demonstrate how Nepal's history of activism has shaped its political discourse and practice, and how the country's democratic struggle has always been a process in which each new generation establishes itself politically by negotiating between previous acts of claim-making and new political formulations. This case study demonstrates how democracy works as a radical ongoing process rather than a formal sphere, and how the relationship between change and the status quo in Nepali national politics has created youth as a social category in politics."--Provided by publisher.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOne of the most important political transitions to occur in South Asia in recent decades was the ouster of Nepal’s monarchy in 2006 and the institution of a democratic secular republic in 2008. Based on extensive ethnographic research between 2003 and 2015, Making New Nepal provides a snapshot of an activist generation’s political coming-of-age during a decade of civil war and ongoing democratic street protests. Amanda Snellinger illustrates this generation’s entrée into politics through the stories of five young revolutionary activists as they shift to working within the newly established party system. She explores youth in Nepali national politics as a social mechanism for political reproduction and change, demonstrating the dynamic nature of democracy as a radical ongoing process.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe 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.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Bullet and the Ballot Box offers a rich and sweeping account of a decade of revolutionary upheaval. When Nepal’s Maoists launched their armed rebellion in the nineties, they had limited public support and many argued that their ideology was obsolete. Twelve years later they were in power, and their ambitious plan of social transformation dominated the national agenda. How did this become possible? Adhikari’s narrative draws on a broad range of sources – including novels, letters and diaries – to illuminate the history and human drama of the Maoist revolution. An indispensible account of Nepal’s recent history, the book offers a fascinating case study of how communist ideology has been reinterpreted and translated into political action in the twenty-first century.
