Item Feminist Overtone in Aldous Huxley's Island(Central Department of English Kirtipur, Kathmandu, 2016-04) Magar, RanaBahadurGhartiA final point that must be made about Huxley is that he by no means was antitechnology; his primary concern was simply technology uncontrolled by humankind and the effects of technological determinism on the transnational social situation. He was both a defender and a critic of technology, and invested his energy and time to making, sharing, and inspiring discourse on these issues. He advocated for a rich universal culture. Machinery has set up a tendency towards the realization of fuller life, but he realized that these possibilities and tendencies are unattainable as long as people are cogs instead of operators of the machine. He knew all too well that at the core of human interactions, developments, and sustenance was a mechanized master that determined the nature and type of relationships, the direction and speed of their growth, and the quality of their lives.Item Gender Discrimination in Nepal (A Case Study In Tharu Community Of Bakdhuwa Vdc, Saptaridistrict)(Department of Population Studies, 2006) Adhikari, Raj KumarGender is a socially prescribed role and responsibility influenced by the culture of the society.

Economic, social and technological backwards too are responsible for low status of women and existing gender discrimination.The number of female population in Nepal is slightly higher than males. However,females are deprived from the opportunities as well as facilities. Literacy rate off emale is low then males. Females are economically less active than males and the most females are involved in non-formal sector of economy. Most of the females are dominated by their husband and discriminated in different issues.Comparatively Tharu community is backward as they lack education, awareness and always face the problem of hand to mouth. The status of women in this community reveals a tragic profile. Female have low status in this society and they are deprived from various facilities and opportunities. They have low access to resources. There is gender discrimination which is persisting in our society deeply. Unenvolvement of women in the main stream of development, the goal of social justice, equity and sustainable development will be unfulfilled dream.
