Item Ambiguity in Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels(Central Department of English Kirtipur, Kathmandu, 2009-08) Chetry, KrishnaThe ambivalence in Swift’s novel is attributable to his life experiences, which itself seems to be flowing in opposite directions. Gulliver's Travels is arguably the greatest satiric attempt to shame men out of their vices by constantly distinguishing between how man behaves and how he thinks about or justifies his behavior in a variety of situations. Lemuel Gulliver is a miscast between reality and fantasy. He is on the one hand a novice, an observer, on the other hand he is the teacher, the commentator. This theory delves into Gulliver's character, as a satirical device, and how it serves Swift's ends by being both a mouthpiece for some of Swift's ideals and criticisms.Item Market Potentiality of Pharma Industries in Nepal(Faculty of Management, 2009-08) Shreewastav, NeeshaNot AvailableItem An Overview of Non-Performing Asset of Nepalese Commercial Banks(Faculty of Management, 2009-08) Sapkota, Ganga PrasadNot availableItem Default of Tax Payment (A Case Study in Context of Nepal)(Faculty of Management, 2009-08) Jha, Ramesh KumarNot AvailableItem A Study on the Effectiveness of Implementation Aspect of Tax Planning In Nepal(Office of the Dean Faculty of Management Tribhuvan University, 2009-08) Lama, NiranjanItem A Study of Investment Policy of Joint Venture Commercial Banks (With Reference to Nabil Bank Limited and Standard Chartered Bank Nepal Limited)(Faculty of Management, 2009-08) Das, Suresh PrasadNot AvailableItem A Comparative Analysis of Financial Performance of Nepal SBI Bank Limited, Himalayan Bank Limited and Kumari Bank Limited(Office of the Dean Faculty of Management Tribhuvan University, 2009-08) Rai, SushmaItem Sexuality as Stigma: A Study of Badi Women(Faculty Arts in English, 2009-08) Sapkota, DeepakThe present dissertation aspires to undertake the study on doubly exploited life of Badi women. This study delineates the hellish life of Badi women in present context where they are stigmatized from many sides. First of all, they are, because of their stigma of femininity, exploited by their own males within their homes. Secondly, they are further commodified and exploited also by the males of mainstream society. Worst of all, they are even stigmatized as Badini, Randi and Beshya and consequently ostracized by the same double dealers-men of mainstream cultural set up-who after bathing in their sexuality throughout the whole night hypocritically stigmatize and shun them at broad daylight. This is the stigma of their sexuality which is much more piercing and suffocating to all Badi women who are from the long time compelled to persue it being discouraged from doing mainstream jobs.Item Indigenous Health and Healing System: Potentiality and Prospects for Education(Master of Philosophy in Education, 2009-08) Siwakoti, Hemanta RajWith this cross-cultural qualitative indigenous study, I sought to understand the constituents of Tamang health and healing system and their potentialities intending to draw health and educational implication from it. For this, my primary research question was ‘What were the constituents and potentialities of Tamang health and healing system?’ To ease my study, I formulated three subsidiary questions focusing on constituents, potentialities and their implication to health and education system. The review of literature made on four areas, namely, identity of indigeniety in Nepal; Tamang as indigenous people; disease, illness and treatment systems and global indigenous health and healing literature, revealed that Tamang health system was studied with focus on their shamanic healing and also that there were globally diverse and interesting indigenous health and healing systems some of which were trying to be developed as alternative health systems and modern technology was being injected on them. For my field study I purposively selected twenty Tamang research participants from Deurali in Nuwakot and Chapali Bhadrakali in Kathmandu. I was engaged in conversational interviews, sharing experiences, studying history and tradition, observing performances, observing ecology and locale of the villages and residences. I cautiously adopted ethnography, phenomenology, archaeology, interpretive practice and social action to enhance my understanding of the field. I used, diary keeping, recorder and video camera for the collection of data. After my field, I employed frameworks of indigenized research with Kaupapa Maori theory, habitus, embodiedness and cultural capital, critical postmodernism and grounded approach for the analysis and interpretation of my study field. My study came up with a new perception of the meaning of health and healing. Health was associated with satisfaction and healing was sought in accordance with the habitus and cosmovision of the patient. If the system satisfied the patient, it was valid. Multiple components of their health and wellbeing constituted their health and healing syste, which I termed as ‘holistic approach’, in which cultural, social, religious, ecological, behavioural and structural components played dominant role . They were found more preventive than curative in which spiritual healing was only one component among many. The findings showed a number of potential health elements including psychotherapeutic and music therapy healing, adopting life in tune with nature, ecology and environment and the role of moral and cultural life for the wellbeing. Their healing systems showed scientific components and procedures applied pragmatically. The indigenous healers went through preventive, diagnostic and curative stages during treatment. The findings gave potential implication to restructure our health and education systems from indigenous and post modern perspectives and I offered implications to rectify injustice to indigenous people on one hand and to benefit from the rich and humanistic indigenous mine of knowledge in the cultivation of humankind on the other. Comparative study of global indigenous health literature could bring more ways of applying Tamang health and healing methods using science and research. What was needed was the deeper study of them and blending technology with them. I realized need of further research and exploration in this field by more researchers. From the perspective of implication to education, this study showed that Tamang health system, could contribute a lot. Our existing education system did not support indigenous students’ learning in our schools as school pedagogy was normative, alien and indifferent to local and indigenous knowledge. It was essential to introduce Tamang cultural capital in the mainstream school capital in their regions. I saw it essential to deconstruct and reconstruct the education system form indigenous perspective. At the same time, I felt the need of indigenous health institutions from basic to research level to promote indigenous health and healing system of Tamangs. In fact, I had a great insight on Tamang health and healing system and its importance on health and education systems.Item Glocalization: Tension between Global and Local Forces in Manjushree Thapa's Tilled Earth(Central Department of English Kirtipur, Kathmandu, 2009-08) Rawal, GovindaManjushree Thapa‟s “Tilled Earth” explicitly depicts the tension between the global and local forces that also coin the theme of the glocalization. It explores how the characters remain in tension and trauma. In the stories, Thapa is able to draw the picture of the recent world in which the people face different kinds of problems that are described through the use of the imaginative characters with imaginative stories. Her characters try their best either to resist or to adapt the global and local forces. But in the process of rejection and adaptation of global and local forces the characters lives are disturbed, destabilized, dismantled and torn.
