  • Caste System

    M Subedi•ARTICLE•Himalayan Journal of Sociology…•2011•Citada por: 9•Referências: 3

    There has been a long debate in the literature over whether the caste system is a unique social phenomenon or simply one manifestation of processes of social stratification which have a wider generality. New divisions and differentiations have been giving rise to new antagonism and social norms. Caste is not today what it was before 1950; and it has not become completely class or replica of it in Nepal. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/hjsa.v4i0.46…

There has been a major change from treating caste as a rigid ritual stratum to caste as "identity to negotiate …

  • Contractual Transaction

    Open Access•M Subedi•ARTICLE•Dhaulagiri Journal of Sociology…•2015•Referências: 10

    The issue of surrogate motherhood has started public debates in Nepal. With surrogacy a child becomes the object of a legal transaction, while the surrogate mother is used, in effect as an incubator, and the hospital declares commissioned parents' name of a newborn child. The poor women in low-income countries have been used as means to compensate for the reproductive deficiencies of high-income infertile parents. Do purchasing cheaper services, …

  • The Local Explanatory Model

    Open Access•Ulla‐britt Engelbrektsson, M Subedi•ARTICLE•Dhaulagiri Journal of Sociology…•2016•Citada por: 3•Referências: 2

    Tuberculosis (TB) constitutes one of the major public health problems in Nepal. Our theoretical framework, in this paper, is to explore people's understanding of the culturally constructed reality, the local explanatory model, for causes of Tuberculosis. The ethnographic data were collected from 'Solubang' village of Pyuthan district in 2005 and 2012/13. The finding shows that assumed and suggested cause(s) of TB are multiple but most often withi…

  • Presumed Cause(s) of Tuberculosis in Rural Nepal

    Ulla‐britt Engelbrektsson, M Subedi•ARTICLE•Himalayan Journal of Sociology…•2017

    In focus is the emic perspective on cause/s of tuberculosis. The ethnographic data is from two major studies in one and the same community in the Hill district of Pyuthan, in the Mid-Western Development Region. The findings show a pooling of old and new influences with a dazzling plurality of thoughts and ideas within a framework of great uncertainty. Moreover, changes in perceptions over the last decade and an half are quite marginal. For health…

  • Caste in South Asia

    Open Access•M Subedi•ARTICLE•Politeja•2018•Citada por: 4•Referências: 10

    Caste has been in existence for centuries in South Asia, though its forms and contents vary across the region. Caste is a mode of power, a weapon of action and one of the criteria of making people's collective identity within groups. I argue, in this paper, that caste is a product of complex histories and exists today in multiple forms. There has been a major change from treating caste as a rigid ritual stratum to caste as "identity to negotiate …

  • Factors Contributing to Delay in Diagnosis and Start of Treatment of Leprosy

    Open Access•M Subedi, Ulla‐britt Engelbrektsson et al.•ARTICLE•Dhaulagiri Journal of Sociology…•2018

    Prolonged delays between first symptoms and diagnosis easily result in more impairment in newly detected leprosy patients, and aggregate negative consequences for individuals and their families. In cases of infectious leprosy, longer delays increase the risk for the spread of the disease. Limited studies have been carried out to explore the causes for delays in Nepal. This is a community level qualitative study conducted in Dang district. The inf…

  • Experiences of Tuberculosis in a Tarai Village, Nepal

    Open Access•Ulla‐britt Engelbrektsson, M Subedi•ARTICLE•Dhaulagiri Journal of Sociology…•2019•Referências: 1

    In focus is the experience of being a Tuberculosis (TB) patient in the mid-west Tarai of rural Nepal. The information derives from a longitudinal qualitative study between 2005 to 2017 in one and the same community. The findings show few changes in the experience of being a TB patient. The availability of anti-TB medicine free of cost within the government health services was greatly appreciated. The cause of TB, ways and means of transmissions, …

    Most epidemiological studies focus on the direct causes of diseases while wider, social causal factors are ignored. This paper briefly highlights the history of major epidemics and the role of Anthropocene and Capitalocene for the emergence and reemergence of pandemics like COVID-19. Books, journal articles, and statistics offer information that can explain the phenomena. A historical inquiry can inform us about the fundamental causes of pandemic…
