Item Construction Of Womanhood In Seto Dharti And Yogmaya(Department of English, 2021-08) Rawal, Samsher BahadurAmar Neupane‟s Seto Dharti (2012) and Neelam Karki Niharika‟s Yogmaya (2018) build the two complementary versions of social reality of the then contemporary Nepali society. The novels depict how the patriarchal social system has become an obstacle in the path of women‟s progress. Both the novels portray the pain and suffering of the women in Nepali society, by exposing certain events from history and contemporary Nepali society. The suffering of female characters becomes the main subject matter in both the novels. The women confront the patriarchal structure, become the victims of it, resist it, and finally pose a challenge through spiritual means. Similarly, there are functional women who are means of the larger social- political structure. The women are forced to adopt the dominant patriarchal ideology. They appear as domestic workers and the machine to bear children. This study has employed feminism as frame of analysis for the novels to examine the condition of women. Key concepts of gender and marginality of women from Gayatri Chakraborty Spivak, Judith Butler, and other relevant theorists are used to interpret the texts in both the novels. Contemporary Nepali women basically appear in three roles: social conformist, victims, and resisters. Those who pursue change in society take the form of rebel in both the texts. In fact, the study explores the role of rebels in the making of contemporary self of women in Nepal.Item Dalit Girl’s Perception Towards Discrimination(Faculty of Education, 2008) Awasthi, LalitaThe study deals with Dalit women’s perception regarding discrimination, especially, in Hindu society. The broad objective of the study was to find out the perception of Dalit girls that affect their participation in education. The overarching research question of this study was, “How has discriminatory practices influenced Dalit girls’ access to education? I, as a researcher, reviewed the literature related to Women under Hinduism, Cultural perspective and Educational perspective. I used hermeneutics for the theoretical construct of this research. I used case study as a research strategy for generating information and analyzed it using the philosophy of Husserl, Heidegger, and Gadamer. I used questionnaires, in-depth open- ended interviews and direct observation under this method. In order to guide myself I also developed schematic chart to dig out information for this study. I found the forces that contributed to make up Dalit women’s perception like culture, religion, social values and gender construct. I also interpreted the forces by using hermeneutic theory of Husserl, Heidegger and Gadamer. I also explained about the relationship between perception and education of Dalit girl’s with hermeneutics interpretation. I found the history and structure of society as the cause of their hindrance to education. I presented the findings under different categories like findings generated from the literature, field, personal reflection, and Hermeneutical inquiry. In doing so, I tried to capture the forces that shaped and reshaped Dalit girls’ perception towards discrimination in school. Hermeneutics taught me that all meaning is context- dependent and therefore unstable. It also stated that culture could be created and recreated; implying that the culture, which is against Dalit women, could also be changed. I realized that Dalit girls’ perception towards education could be changed by introducing inclusive approach to teaching, and reorienting culturally socialized mindset. Lastly, I have concluded my thesis by saying that the discrimination started from the mind of people and spread to home school and community so the treatment should be started from the peoples’ mind.
