In the papers collected here the reader will find the collected wisdom of Nepal’s finest historical anthropologist or anthropological historian of his generation. Most Nepali historians use the facts of the present to illuminate the past, but few do so with the sophistication and sensitivity of Prayag Raj Sharma. He argues for long-term continuities of culture and structure, but he is aware of the methodological pitfalls in doing so. Of the three crucibles he identifies which have made modern Nepali culture what it is today—the far west, the Kathmandu Valley, and the Tarai—Prayag Raj Sharma has carried out 1st-hand research in the 1st two areas and he has offered new intellectual syntheses and overviews relevant to all three .... His lucid prose, his classical sociological approach, his engaged but balanced concern, and his deep appreciation of all aspects of Nepal’s society and history mean that his corpus will stand for a long time to come as an essential witness to the struggles of post-1950 Nepal to come to terms with its Hindu past.
