“…35 In this manner, the insurgents were able to seize control of sizeable parts of the country, primarily in the rural parts of the nation. 36 Since the Comprehensive Peace Agreement of 2006, Nepal is formally at peace. However, many of its core problems, including widespread horizontal inequalities and political violence, remain troubling fixtures of contemporary society.…”

The academic debates on postwar memorialisation and everyday peace tend to appear in relative isolation from one another. Yet, there is arguably much to gain from integrating them, by exploring howand to what effectpost-war monuments are incorporated into everyday life. To this end, this article studies the everyday interactions that residents of Beni Bazaar, Nepal, have developed in relation to the recently erected Maoist martyrs' gate. As such, narrative ellipsis, local cooperation and popular culture are identified as three distinct ways in which the gate has become entangled with everyday life in the city. I argue that these everyday interactions represent inherently political acts, which in subtle ways serve to destabilise the politically divisive 'message' of the postwar monument. Hence, it makes sense to think of these everyday interactions as a form of bottom-up peacebuilding in their own rightalbeit to varying degrees.

“…Neither, as I observed, was the West-centric social work considerate of Nepali changing time and space. Quite opposite to social work development and its visions, the then Nepali socio-cultural-politico scenario was charged with tensions looking forward to a stable democratic political culture and simultaneously was seeking to re-define people's social and cultural rights (Von Einsiedel et al, 2012). Thus, Nepali social work was not only witnessing a systematic institutionalisation of colonialism and imperialism but also to a greater extent was undermining a hermeneutic understanding of social work itself that would have considered Nepali multifaceted social realities.…”

The doctor, development and (un)sociable monkey: An autoethnography of a social worker

This article is a critical autoethnographic investigation in which I explore development and social work vis-à-vis my own life episodes. I examine various tensions, for example, (1) becoming and being a colonial development subject; (2) encountering social work and compliance to it; (3) a U-turn, in disagreement with social work; and (4) a doctoral journey, reinvigorating my ‘social worker self’ through conceptualisation of a model of ‘decolonised, developmental social work’. This autoethnography leads me to critical discourses not only to question development and social work but also to uncover the ‘sense of (my) becoming and being’ regarding those two.

‘At Least the Government is Watching out for us Now’: Dalit perceptions and experiences of governance and cash transfers in three villages in Sarlahi, Nepal

This article provides qualitative case studies and applies citizenship theory to reveal the way in which being in receipt of a cash transfer can help local poor and excluded Dalits to understand what it means to be a citizen of Nepal's state. Cash transfers can contribute to an individual's subjective sense of inclusion and citizenship. Although Dalits encounter disparities and rights abuses when dealing with local government over their cash transfer entitlements, their responses reveal a sense of agency in the positive way in which they interpret their entitlements. Although they may be mistreated at the local level, they feel valued because the central ‘state’ recognizes their plight and identity. Cash transfers are understood by Dalits through the lens of social exclusion, patronage, and the hierarchical society in which they live. They are an effective way of reaching large numbers of formerly excluded citizens and indicate that the state now includes them. As such, they can contribute towards building an inclusive state.
