Modernity helps to weaken the strict rules of the caste system where cruelty and barbaric behavior are used as tool to perpetuate the age old caste system and renders the assertion of independence which implies the central characters Velutha and Ammu to choose unwilled and undesirable transgression against social taboos as protest, which ultimately leads them into victimization.Item Narrativization of Gender Trauma in Taslima Nasrin’s My Girlhood(Central Department of English, 2019) Timilsina, MandiraThe present research work discusses gender trauma in Nasrin’s autobiographyMyGirlhood. Nasrin critically illustrates problems and issues of sexual violence which leads the author to the traumatic experiences. We can find the author’s ceaseless efforts to find her true self beyond patriarchy, religions and belief set by people. When the book was first published in the Bengali language in 1998, it led to controversy. Due to the controversy, this book was banned in Bangladesh. The autobiography offers forbidden glimpses of the veiled life of the Muslim women. Being a subordinate lady in the tyranny of Islamic patriarchy Nasrin is traumatized. Trauma victim can cope with trauma in two ways; one is acting out and another is working through. Narrativization always comes under the working through process. Therefore through narrativization author tries to unveil the root of sexual violence upon women in an Islamic society. This autobiography is the means of scripto therapy for the author, which helps to reduce her trauma and resistance against male attitudes. Key Words: Trauma, sexual violence, patriarchy, gender, religionItem The Politics of Counterfocalization in Malla’sKumari Shova(Department of English, 2009) Giri, KrishnaThis dissertation is a critical discussion onVijay Malla’sKumari Shovaas an exposure of how the focalizer is influenced by the superstitiousbelief regarding ideology, race, and gender. On the surface, it seems that the focalizer represents new generation and is sympathetic towards the victims (Kumari Shova) and Upendra (her lover) but in fact the unrestricted narrator’s prejudice towards Living Goddess Kumari affects the focalization as he freely enters the minds of characters. This shows the focalizer's will to govern the characters by exercising his power over the focalized only from the superstitious perspective. We cannot even claim whether the focalizer and the focalized are as they are understood by thefocalizer; we cannot even claim whether it is the understanding of the focalizer only or it is the understanding of both focalizer as well as the writer. Therefore, Malla’sKumari Shov are quires counterfocalization from readers's sidethat can only justify the characters by analyzing the focalizer’s discursive form, which is guided by the particularities not only of space and time but also of gender, ethnic and sexual choiceItem Women's Perception on Gender Discrimination (Perception of women currently residing in Kathmandu Valley)(Department of Population Studies, 2007) Adhikari, Lilanot available
