‘The Iconisation of Yogmaya Neupane’
5 02 2015
Nehru Memorial Museum and Library
cordially invites you to a Public Lecture
(in the ‘India and the wider World’ series)
at 3.00 pm on Friday, 6th February, 2015
in the Seminar Room, First Floor, Library Building
on
‘The Iconisation of Yogmaya Neupane’
by
Prof. Michael Hutt,
School of Oriental and African Studies South Asia Institute,
University of London, UK.
Abstract:
According to a popular tradition, on 14 July 1941 an elderly female religious ascetic named Yogmaya Neupane committed suicide by hurling herself into the raging Arun river in the Bhojpur district of eastern Nepal. 67 other people followed her example, and none of their bodies was ever found. On 8 March 2011, to mark International Women’s Day, a statue of Yogmaya Neupane was unveiled in the district headquarters town of Bhojpur. This was the latest development in an iconisation process that constructs and promotes Yogmaya as Nepal’s first female revolutionary. In this lecture Prof. Hutt will attempt to establish the facts of Yogmaya’s life, so far as this is possible, present and discuss a selection of verses from Sarvartha Yogabani, the text that is held to preserve her utterances, and then analyse the attempts that have been made by various activists and scholars to construct her as, variously, a feminist rebel, a social reformer, and a progressive poet.
Speaker:
Prof. Michael Hutt holds a BA in South Asian Studies (Hindi) and a Ph.D. on the history of the Nepali language and its literature, both from SOAS, University of London. He has been engaged in teaching and research relating to Nepal and the Himalaya at SOAS since 1987 and has served as Head of the South Asia Department and Dean of the Faculty of Languages and Cultures. He has also published on Nepali and Bhutanese politics, the Nepali diaspora in India, Nepali art and architecture, and the Bhutanese refugee issue. His most recent books are The Life of Bhupi Sherchan: Poetry and Politics in Post-Rana Nepal (2010) and Eloquent Hills: Essays on Nepali Literature (2013).

Raghuram Rajan ‘Dullard Grade’ RBI Governor – Opposes FDI

Raghuram Rajan ‘Dullard Grade’ RBI Governor – Opposes FDI
February04, 2015 (C) Ravinder Singh ravinderinvent@gmail.com
It is shocking RBI governor with education qualifications like Burger
– Meat Patty and Cheese Slices and Salad wrapped between Bread Pieces
is junk food. He has Engineering Degree followed by MBA and ‘Essay On
Banking’ = JUNK GRADE.
He doesn’t understand a thing, can’t even Read Simple RBI Stats that I
could comprehend as 3rd or 4th Standard Student.
Industry contributes under 25% of GDP – Manufacturing less than 30%
therefore contributes just 7.5% of GDP but even this weight of
Consumer Durables which has highest Value Additions is barely 8.46% or
roughly 2% of GDP.
In last 8 months even Consumer Durable Share of 2% has further
collapsed by over 30% – What is the Logic of Keeping Foreign Companies
Out of Indian Market? – India should actually attract 100% FDI in all
sectors Until Indian Companies are Prepared to Compete With Foreign
Investors and Supporting Indian R&D based Small & Medium Companies and
Strengthening PATENT OFFICE.
When Banks Should Charge ‘PENAL INTEREST RATES’ on Companies Who Had
Not ‘Paid Back’ Loans on Time. Rs.50,00,000 Crore is Locked Up and not
Paid Back.
RBI should have INSISTED on ‘Reducing Petroleum Prices to Rs.35 Per Liter’.
RBI should INSIST on 30% to 50% Equity for Public in SEBI Companies.
RBI should have INSISTED on 50% of Capital for Projects to come from
IPOs not Bank Loans.
RBI should have INSISTED on Intellectual Property Rights for Indians.
