HINDU KINGSHIP ETHNIC REVIVAL(OIP)

This book explores the linkages between Nepalese identity ethnicity and the Maoist rebellion. It traces the emergence of dualist conceptions of society which took root in tribal revivalism and ultimately nourished the Maoist rebellion in Nepal. The author analyses this interplay using diverse sources including fiction and poetry; myths and rituals; inscriptions; historical chronicles and contemporary accounts; and academic and polemical publications. She further explores the critical theme of ''otherness'' and provides insights into the way domination functions.
