Nepal : A Country's Country

Nepathya is a music band that was formed in the early 1990s. In 1990, nine young boys started a band from beautiful city called Pokhara, Nepal, which is now famous by the name “Nepathya”. They were nine different people but came together to achieve a goal, met at Kathmandu during their college and formed a “Nepathya”. At first, they used to sing in the concert in the street and in the restaurant. As time passed by they began to broadcast through radio. They started to begin famous among people. Later, in 1995 they released their first album named “Tal ko Pani” which was loved by the whole country. After that, they continued their journey of music and till date they released 15 albums. Among them, “Resham” is the most popular song and also one of my best songs.

This paper has focused on the ideas of Paulo Freire whose thought which has consequently persuaded many other scholars to think about the impact of social injustice and dehumanization such as untouchability and discrimination in the world. His thoughts have a lot to proffer to the field of social movement and change and have greatly influenced the methods used in social practices. Caste system is a profound and rooted structure in Nepal that it cannot be eliminated easily. Many efforts have done to eradicate caste system but not abolished properly. However, the concept of untouchability has been slowly changing in the society. Dr. Ambedkar said inter-caste marriage can be the best way to eradicate untouchability however

My dad had warned me but i did not expect this much. People seemed to be more open. For example kids talked about their divorced parents openly. This would hardly happens in Nepal. This brings me to another cultural difference in Nepal. I realized Nepalese are more concerned about others opinion; what might he or she think if i sad this? Not to mention, people have different standards depending on their wealth, if vanished society might disrespect them. Here people could give a damn. In Nepal, the rich sleepin in money while the poor did not even had a blanket to cover their body at night. The richest are always stepping on the others head to move forward while the lower classes are sinking on the ground. Money makes the world go

Civil wars are conflicts that occur within a country, in which some type of rebel group is at war with the government. Civil wars usually almost always happen in a country in which the government and economy is very poor. Typically a civil war cannot happen if the rebel group is not strong enough to face the government, and if they do not have a willingness and opportunity factor. Civil wars have unfortunately become a reoccurring problem for countries all over the world for the past 70 years (Lagace "High Hills, Deep Poverty: Explaining Civil War in Nepal.").

But the most well-known caste system today is in Indo-Pak Sub-Continent. Around one in 25 people in the world experiences some form of caste discrimination; more than half of these are in India and Pakistan. This system dates almost 3600 years back and was formed on the need to form a social order in ancient India but is still prevalent today in the

India has pioneered many different civilizations and empires each presenting new social, religious, and cultural dynamics. Through the development of India in the past 100+ years, they were colonized by Great Britain and societies began to form caste systems. However, different hierarchal statuses were instituted long before the establishment of caste systems officially. Sociologists agree that the British didn’t create the caste system, however the British used their dominance to further endorse a stricter system that could easily define and categorize the people of India. The Portuguese used the term caste system first to, “denote the social classification of India, as they thought the system was meant to be o preserve the purity of

The Nepalese Gurkhas have been serving under the British since 1815. They have partaken in every war that Britain has been involved in from the Pindarr War to WWII. The Gurkhas are considered by many to be one of the Worlds finest armed units. The Gurkha corps are definitely the most elite fighting force in the British Army and they have consistently proved their worth in every battle they have fought, whether it was a victory or defeat. The common Gurkha has a diamond-hard will, and indomitable fighting spirit that clearly distinguishes him from his peers. For the Gurkha is no common soldier. He is a warrior to the core, and a not a man to be taken lightly.

Nepal, like most other countries is culturally diverse. Nepal is named for the Katmandu Valley, where the capital was established in the late eighteenth century. The Nepalese culture is a fusion of Indo-Aryan and Tibeto-Mongolian influences with a long history of migration and trade. The country is roughly the size of Nebraska, which makes it the 94th largest country in the world by size, but 41st largest in population ("Compare The United States To Nepal," 2017). The country has fourteen main spoken languages, with Nepali being the official and most common, but more than 50 languages exist. There are four main religions in Nepal, but the overwhelming majority of Nepalese people are Hindus, with Buddhist coming in a distant second. The

Tourism define as “visitors who visit the different place or country from their usual environment less than a year for any reason such as business meeting, holidays, education tour, sports tour are known as tourism” (UNWTO, 2010).

About 38% of the Nepal's total population earns less than US $1 per day and 82.5% earns less than US $ 2 per day. Poverty is more pronounced in rural areas. About 80% poor reside in the rural areas. Poverty is almost an agricultural phenomenon (Gurugharana, 2001). About 17% of the total populations are ultra poor, who are totally excluded from development programmes.

The tour operators that were interviewed for this research project have described Nepal as a country with full of breathtaking views and mountains, scenery, wildlife conservations places such as the national parks and the cultural and religious diversity and friendly people. But, In Denmark, Nepal is not perceived as having all of the things mentioned above. Many Danes perceive Nepal as a backpacking destination, hard core trekking destination and a Himalayan kingdom. The diversity of culture, mix of religions, wildlife conservation areas and beautiful national parks, friendly Nepali people are still unknown to many Danes in Denmark. Although Nepal possesses many assets, in the Danish market, it is largely unknown, which is an opportunity as Danish market for traveling to Nepal is underdeveloped and tourism to Nepal can be increased from Denmark.

I have chosen the project topic of waste management for the 2014 EWB Challenge in Nepal and in my essay I shall attempt to highlight the social justice issues which are both conspicuously as well as subtly entwined with it.

Until 1990, Nepal was ruled by an authoritarian system. Democracy was declared in 1990 however it was constitutional monarchy system so people were not happy with this system. In 1996, Nepal Communist Party-Maoist started civil war and ended in 2006. A decade-long civil war had 42 demands but 2 demands were noteworthy that were constituent assembly election (CA) and federal system in Nepal. There was a peace process agreement between Maoist and government of Nepal in 2006. Constituent elections were held two times. After CA election, a new federal constitution has been made in 2015 but it will not be functioning until new federal election is done. People have taken it negatively and positively both side. It is said that ‘the constitution is being rightly said to be amongst the most progressive in Asia guaranteeing equal rights to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community and providing representation for the same in government mechanisms (P. Rohit, 2015).’

The Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal is a landlocked sovereign state situated in South Asia. The country is bordered by the People’s Republic of China and the Republic of India. Kathmandu is capital of Nepal and also the largest metropolis of the country with a population of around five million.

The monetary system of Nepal shows the dualistic nature of monetary economy. The urban is merged in organized industries, trade and service sector. The rural economy, where the majority of people at subsistence level without any surplus of exchange, does not show any improvement in the process of monetization.
