| dc.description.abstract | The major objectives of this study entitled “Structural-Functional Role of Majhesawa: A Case Study of Majhi of Sindhupalchok District” was to find structural-functional role of Majhesawa, to find out reasons behind not continuing Majhesawa nowadays and to investigate what efforts have been made to continue Majhesawa. The design of the study was qualitative in Nature. I selected Indrawati Rural Municipality and Sunkoshi Rural Municipality of Sindhupalchok district for research field. Purposive sampling method was used to select the sample. I selected 12 Majhi Purohit/Mijars, 5 members of Mukhiya system in Majhi community, 5 Majhi leaders and 48 Majhi youths. I used focused group discussion (FGD), interview and field observation as data collection tools and tried to find out the real field data. After analysis of data, I found that Majhesawa has vital role make uniformity in Majhi culture, tradition and rituals, it is means of protecting rights of weak people in Majhi community and it is means for Majhi people to arise their weak voice. Due to weak unity among Mahi community, influence of culture and tradition of other religions, the indigenous Majhi peoples’ customary law and institutions are on the stage of extinction. For the restoration of Majhesawa, the work of forming Majhesawa committee in Sindhupalchok district is conducted as a campaign and procedure are being prepared for institutionalization, plans are being made to organize program such as discussion, training. The constitution of Nepal does not prohibit the restoration and operation of customary institution such as Majhesawa. | |
