००२ : "आधा आकाश"

The ideologies of caste and class are not as straightforward as Nepali Maoists have historically made them out to be. In this episode, we talk to two researchers who looked into different communities to examine how Maoist agendas interacted with Dalit and indigenous movements. 

आज हामी नेपालको माओवादी क्रान्तिमा महिलाको भूमिकाबारे कुरा गर्नेछौं। द्वन्दले महिलालाई कसरी अघि बढाउन सक्छ? हथियार बोकी राज्यको बिपक्षमा उभिएकाहरू र वरिपरि समाजमा यति सबै चल्दाचल्दै पनि आफ्ना साधारण जीविका चलाइरहेका महिलाहरुको अनुभवमा के कस्ता भिन्नताहरु देखिन्छ त? हामीले अनुसन्धानकर्ता तथा पुर्व-जनमुक्ति सेनाका लडाकूहरुसँग अन्तरवार्ता गरी परिवर्तनको आशा बोकेका, तथा सोहि ठाउँमा क्रान्तिको अनुभव गरेका महिलाका कथाहरु प्रस्तुत गरेका छौँ।

Today, we're going to talk about women during Nepal's Maoist revolution.  How can conflict bring women forward? And how is it different for the ones that stood with a gun against the state...and the ones that lived on in spite of the chaos around them? We'll be talking to researchers and ex-PLA soldiers to explore the lives and stories of women who held great hopes for change, and the ones that witnessed it happen on the ground. 

Welcome to Thabang- a remote village in Rolpa. In today's episode, we're going to talk about how this village became a Maoist epicenter. Featuring interviews with various academics and Thabangi natives, we're going to explore how the local conditions for a national-level Maoist uprising were met.

रोल्पाको एक सानो, दुर्गम गाउँ थाबांगमा तपाइको स्वागत छ।  आजको एपिसोडमा हामी यो गाउँ कसरि माओबादीको केन्द्रभूमि बन्न पुग्यो  भनेर छलफल गर्नेछौँ।  अन्य थाबांग निवासी तथा बुद्धिजीबी सँगको अन्तरबार्ताहरुको मध्यमबाट हामीले राज्यभरि फैलिन पुग्ने माओबादी क्रान्ति कसरि स्थानीय स्थरबाट सुरु भयो भनि अन्वेषण गर्ने छौँ।
