Adhikary. It begins with the long history of such renamings (like Tansing becoming Tansen) and then goes into detail about the state renaming Magar places during panchayat kaal. The article title is “Naming Ceremonies as Rituals of Development”. published in Studies in Nepali History & Society. Vol. 1, No. 2 (1996). you may find it at Mandala Book Point (the publisher) or Martin Chautari’s library in Thapathali. He writes, “In the imposition of Sanskritized names in the name of bikaas, we can observe the efforts of the bikaas state to forge a single—and modern—national identity by anointing places and projects that signify bikaas with names that invoke the past of the nation-state only, while occluding (dhamilo paarne) older, more various ethnic pasts”. This article should be very useful to you.Mary Deschenenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5913554009817644141.post-10682073548052882552016-03-14T10:01:31.883+05:452016-03-14T10:01:31.883+05:45Thanks to our reader Sanjay Tharu.
