this and that

Here is a pretty good, honest and down-to-earth primer to Nepal’s Maoist insurgency by National Geographic, devoid of the usual hyperbole that accompanies Western media reports about Nepal. And two beautiful videos from a documentary on Nepal: Video 1 Video 2 (thanks to Jeshica Baral’s Facebook profile.)

And some others:

• www.blog.com.np: “United We Blog! for a democratic Nepal”: Nepalese journalists blog (mostly from the Kantipur camp)
• nepalnow.blogspot.com: Mostly pro-royal blog from a mysterious, probably American, “blogdai”
• www.samudaya.org: “Pseudo-intellectuals. Just like you” As far as I know, this site cannot be accessed in Nepal, but there is a mirror at everybodybreed.com.
