Living Martyrs
Author: James F. Fisher
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 362
Book Description
Living Martyrs details the life histories of two important Nepalis, Tanka Prasad Acharya and his wife Rewanta Kumari. Tanka Prasad was the founder of the first Nepali political party, and was imprisoned for ten years for his complicity in a plot to overthrow the Ranas. This is his story of a crusade against the autocratic Rana regime: it is also the story of Rewanta Kumari's struggle to keep the family together during the years of oppression and to further her husband's efforts in bringing an end to the rule of the Ranas. The author presents the life experiences of the Archaryas as narrated to him, which makes the book an excellent interactive biography. The parallel narratives of Tanka Prasad and Rewanta Kumari illustrate the gendered nature of history. James Fisher highlights the importance of oral narratives in the reconstruction of a balanced account of the past. Living Martyrs presents an overview of the various theoretical positions in the study of resistance. This book is a rich source for Nepali culture and a view of Nepali history from the political underside.

Rana Cookbook
Author: Rohini Rana
Publisher: Viking
ISBN: 9780670093847
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
The Rana name has been synonymous with the history and culture of Nepal for centuries. The beautiful palaces of Nepal were known not only for their glamour and architecture but also for their royal feasts. The recipes of the food served were exclusively with the cooks of the palaces and a lucky few who inherited them from earlier generations. In this exquisite book, for the first time ever, the doors to the palace kitchens are opened and we get a glimpse into the mouthwatering cuisine of the royals. Nepali food is famous for its fresh and light flavours in the staple rice, daals, meat and vegetables. The food of the Ranas, however, is vastly influenced by Indian flavours. While Indian food is renowned for its rich, thick gravies, Nepali cuisine tends to prefer lighter jhols and dry bhutans and kawafs. Though raw materials such as meat and vegetables can easily be found in the Indian kitchen, the style of preparation and spices such as jimbu and timur are unique in their Nepali flavour. With help and inputs from numerous family members, Rohini Rana has collected and documented the recipes precious to each Rana prime minister's family. Showcasing magnificent food from the palaces, this luxurious and beautifully illustrated cookbook attempts to preserve these recipes for future generations, and posterity.
