Kirat Rai, Limbu are somewhat perplexed by the vast array of ethnic identities

Dr. Nawa Raj Subba Many people are confused about whether Rai and Limbu are the same or not. A scholarly debate about the distinction between ethnic identities is required. It’s not just a matter of Rai and Limbu. This is just an example. Politics, geography, language, and culture all play a role in ethnic formation and identity. Here’s a quick rundown. The existing theory has been scrutinized. To this principle, I have also added new knowledge gained from the study…

डा. नवराज सुब्बा ।  अतः हामी वर्तमानमा जे छौँ त्यो सत्य हो । तर हाम्रो अतीत हेर्ने दृष्टिकोणमा केही दोष छ । त्यो अज्ञानतावश मात्र भएको हैन, नियतवश पनि त्यसो भएको छ । तर त्यो मानवीय चरित्र पनि हो । यो पनि सत्य हो । यसकारण यस्ता मानवशास्त्रीय, समाजशास्त्रीय घटनाक्रम र परिदृपरिदृश्यलाई हामीले मनोविज्ञानको दृष्टिले हेर्न सकेमा जिज्ञासा केही हदसम्म शान्त हुनेछन् । एक प्रसङ्गमा मिचिगन विश्वविद्यालयका प्राध्यापक मारोहाङ लिम्बूले तुङदुङ्गे मुन्धुमसम्बन्धी मेरो वेभनेर जुम प्रस्तुतिउपर दिनुभएको एक प्रतिक्रिया यु–ट्यूबमा…

डा. नवराज सुब्बा । मभित्र जब चेतना आयो, त्यसपछि मनमा खुलदुली चल्न थाले । म कहाँबाट आएँ होला ? यो रुख, ढुङ्गा कसले बनायो होला ? यो खोल्सा, खोला, नदी, कहाँ पुग्छ होला ? धाराबाट बग्ने पानी निरन्तर कसरी उम्रिरहन्छ ? यी डाँडाकाँडा, हिमाल, खोला, नदी, संसार, पृथ्वी, जून, तारा ब्रह्माण्ड कसले रचना किन गर्यो होला ? ती मेरा बालसुलभ जिज्ञासालाई अभिभावक, गुरू, शास्त्रले मात्र शान्त पार्न सकेनन् । सामाजिक वर्ग, भेदभाव, छुवाछूत, जातपात, राजनीति, संस्कृति, धर्म मानव उपज वस्तु…

(सत्य घटनामा आधारित कथा) डा. नवराज सुब्बा । ताप्लेजुङ जिल्लाको आठराई हाङपाङबाट हेर्दा उत्तरतर्फका हिमश्रृङ्खलाबाट बग्दै आएका दुई नदी तम्बरखोला र मैवाखोला मैवादोभानमा मिसिएको एक सुन्दर दृश्य देखिन्छ । यी नदीहरू मिसिएर बनेको भूआकृतिलाई टाढाबाट हेर्दा झण्डै त्रिशूल आकारको लाग्दछ । त्यही दुई नदीको सङ्गममा रहेको छ व्यापारिक स्थल मैवादोभान । उक्त मैवादोभानपारि तम्बरखोलावारि रहेको छ महादेवटार । जहाँ अघि एउटा विशाल शिवालय थियो । त्यहाँ शिवालय परिशरमा पाटी, पौवा तथा बगैंचा थिए । जहाँ टाढाटाढाबाट साधुसन्त आउने, आराधना गर्ने,…

A tribute to a Limbu Woman

A tribute to a Limbu Woman

Comments 0 Comment

Nawa Raj Subba Many people have got respect inside the life and even after death. The children who are born pay their father’s homage. But an ordinary Limbuni woman, and even a mother who today has no children in this material world, at least as far as I can recall, seems to have no human being. That is why, by going forward as a human being, I try to pay homage to her – by writing a memory.

Nawa Raj Subba There is hardly a person in the world of life who does not see the cloud of desperation. I still see black clouds in the sky occasionally. In the clouds that cover the horizon, I still see the silver circle on the horizon. I get the power to live by looking at it. General people, poets, artists whose works have always given me strength and inspiration in life. There are among those who shine like a silver…

महागुरु फाल्गुनन्दको जीवन दर्शनको विवेचना – डा. नवराज सुब्बा   कुनै जातिको धर्म उसको संस्कृतिको रुपमा प्रकट हुन्छ (Mulder, 1985) । धार्मिक आस्था जीवन र जगतको ज्ञान, धारणा एवम् संस्कृति बनेर दरसन्तानमा सर्ने गर्दछ (Geertz, 1985) । यसकारण धर्म र संस्कृति एकअर्कामा सम्बन्धित छन् । माथिको भनाइबाट के कुरा थाहा हुन्छ भने कुनै पनि धर्म वा संस्कृतिमा आबद्ध मानिसलाई आफूले परिवार वा समुदायबाट हासिल गरेको संस्कृति वा धर्मले पार्ने प्रभावले गर्दा आफूले जानेका वा जान्न खोजेका बाहेक अन्य सत्यतथ्य सुन्ने,…
