2) Ram Chandra Pokharel, who has written eight books and over 250 articles about democratic process in Nepal is also past DDC Chaiman of Tanahun.
biswakarma Posted on 11-Feb-02 05:18 PM

tanahunge Jee,

By the way, there is no Ram C. Adhikari in Tanahun. Are you refering to Ram C. Adhikari from Lamjung? who was MP for two times?
tanahunge Posted on 11-Feb-02 05:43 PM

my mistake, I was trying refer Ram chandra pokharel 4 some reason I said Adhikari
Shyam sunder Shrestha.. AIT graduate
Narad_Muni Posted on 11-Feb-02 06:34 PM

Tanahungeji
Who Shyam Sundar Shrestha? Is he Sundar Shyam Shrestha from Dumre? If you are refering to him he graduated from England and now in USA. Of course, Tanahun can be proud of his qualities and achievements. How about myself? ha .... ha .... ha.... Naradji sarwatra byapta chhan.
Narayan! Narayan!
OpinionLeader Posted on 11-Feb-02 06:35 PM

Govardan Pokharel, now deceased, was one great Tanahule
leader and he is one of the reason for Tanahu having
Akhada of Politics in Gandaki Zone. Tanahu is the
center of Democratic and Left Politics in Gandaki Zone.

Govardan Pokharel, whom I met during Janamat Sngraha 2036-37
was a great source of inspiration to those who were Bahudal
supporters and was a main source of problem to those who
were against Bahudal. West of Jamune used to be center
of Left Politics and East used to be center of Kangressi Politics.
Govardan Pokharel was in wanted list: Dead or alive: Just head
is enough. Rs. 5,000. for his head in 2017 saal. He was telling
how he escaped and how Majhi helped him to avoid his
head got trimmed by Royal Nepal Army.

His 3 sons were always center of Nepali Politics:

1. Ram Chandra Pokharel: who was Sampadak in GorkhaPatra
until 2036 and was fired by Surya Bahadur Thapa just after Ref.
(I guess my faded memory is correct). Surya Bahadur Thapa
fired around 1,000 govt. employees just after 2037 Ref.

2. Krishna Chandra Pokharel. He used to be a teacher
at Nirmal ... MB (Damauli) and was fired by Surya B. Thapa
and just the way Govind Raj Joshi and Amar Raj Kaini were
equivalently fired from the job. GRJ, ARK and KCP were
jailed on the same night from Damauli in 2036, that stunned
whole Tanahu, and Leftist were playing foul game against
them. All these three along with Ram Chandra Poudel were
released on Baisakh 2037, in Royal Palor to all political
detainees. Well, I went hear their talk just after they
arrived in Damauli after almost 100 days in Jail in Pokhara.
I heard KCP moved to Nawal Parashi and is now Savapati
of Nawal Parasi District. Please, verify whether this
latest news is correct or not.

3. Jagdish Chandra Pokharel: he was arachitect and now
member in Nepal Engineering council. A big shot in Nepal
Engineering Community, and a well reknowned teacher.
I remember when he was teaching in a class room that
I attended as his student, and how Akhile Gundas entered
his class and started fighting with the students who
did not like to leave the class, and Jagdish was requesting
with the Akhile leader that please wait till this class ends,
and I am at the middle of the class, it would be better
to let me finish. When Jagdish was supported by some
students on frontline (????), then, the akhile smashed
on one students face, then, the spectacles (chasma)
dropped from his face and broken, and wow, that created
a lot of problem in the whole campus ... in chain of
events and finally, the student union President (Akhile at
that time) came with Khukuri and threatened all the
sidha-sadha students. Class disrupted for whole week.
I liked his classes, but, the chain of strikes did not allow
it go long, before Jagdish moved out of counry for
higher studies. I still consider him a great teacher, I ever
met in Nepal.

Lets move to other educated Nepali peoples from
Tanahu:
4. Amar Raj Kaini and his wife (daughter of Bidya
Devi Kaini, and younger sister of famous Medical
Dr. Devkota). He was head master like GRJ used to
be head master in another school. Both of them
were center of Nepal Teachers Association, which
was strong hold of Leftist leaders from Same District
including the Khagendra ... Amar Raj Kaini also left
the teaching profession after he was fired along with
KCP and GRJ.

5. Mr. Khanal (the founding secretary general of Nepal
Teachers Associatoin), I think he used to be headmaster
somewhere in Tanahu. I am not sure how is he working.
But, he left teaching profession after sometime and he
was swinging from One Communist Party to another.
He is still a ganya manne neta among Left Politicians in
Tanahu.

6. Damauli ko Mayor: I forgot his name. He was student
leader at the time (when i met him first time) in Pokhara's
PN campus. He was very good in Bhasad, and just like
Khag Raj Adhikari. Khage and he used to be arch rival
in PN Campus 's elections, one from Akhil and other
from NBS.

7. There are many Bandipure Sahuji now migrated to
Chitwan are quite influential and rich. There used to
be one lady "Maya Devi", who was highly regarded
in Chitwan and in Devi Ghat too. Her Brother (?)
also had influential personality in Narayan Ghat
and in Tanahu.

8. Well, there are many Khanals from Jamune area
in Tanahu. One of them is former Harvardian, Prof.
Khanal . . . ..

9. Ram Chandra Poudel: Gandaki Zone 's politician
reaching to highest political position in Nepali
Politics i.e. DPM. Well, King of Nepal comes from
Gandaki Zone and peoples in Pokhara say (Pokhara
ward 15) that Janga Bdr Rana (Kuwar) was also
from Pokhara (at least he was there for sometime
in Exile), but, there were not really countable
Politicians from Gandaki Zone. Ram Chandra Poudel
is only the remaining hope among 2nd /3rd generation
leaders to be a recognized leader. Ram Chandra Poudel
got highest votes in the last election held for the NeKangPa
CWC members in Pokhara, last year. Because of Girija's family
hold and cut throat competition, Ram Chandra was not
given the Secratary General's position in NeKaaPa CWC.
Thats regrettable. GRJ, the most corrupt man in Nepal,
is sidlining with Girija and trying to cut throat of RCP for
his counter personality: as RCP is regarded as one of the
few honest /clean leaders in NCP.

10. Dhaneshor Rimal, who was MP (?) in 2017 used to
be leader of Democratic Khema and turned to be an influential
Leftist Leader (some say that he was under pressure
from Leftists who had strong hold on west of Jamune area,
to join the Leftist Wagon).

very informative opinionLeader. R U talking about Dhurba Wagle.. he is the current mayor of Byas Municipality... He is a great Orator good man to post his name.. His contemporary Govardhan Rana has written few books about politics.I don't know how popular he is.. We need to put some social worker and business tycoons name from Tanahun... TANAHUN rocks...
Ratatata... Posted on 11-Feb-02 11:17 PM

Wow that's quite a lot of information on Tanahun OpinionLeader. Even I didn't know many of them despite having my roots in that place. Btw, last time I was in my village, I heard that Amar Raj Kaini has two wives - the elder one who is mentally ill. And, his ill behaviour towards his elder wife hampered a lot during the elections, which he won anyway beating Dr. Bhekh Bahadur Thapa. The same elections, I guess, has become the base of Manjushree Thapa's book Tutor of History. Anyway, ARK was respected by many villagers though he never won a ticket later from Congress which was always given to his much powerful "rival" GRJ. Maybe you know more on that front...I'm only adding what I heard at the Chautaries and Bhatties.
Other famous Tanahun walas include - Narayan Wagle, one of the few popular journos of Kantipur; Tuk Raj Sigdel, another teacher turned politician - a young blood from CPN-UML and presently a member of the Parliament.
BTW, is there any amymen from Tanahun? Neighbouring Syanjha is well known for beaureucrats...I wonder what Tanahun is well known for...
Orpheus Posted on 11-Feb-02 11:32 PM

While talking about Tanahun, one cannot forget Chhetra Prataap Adhikari (from Bayaapaani) - a noted "saahityakaar" in the Nepalese literary landscape. Though he was also a Minister of State of Educations in forties (BBS), he is certainly a more skilled poet than politician.

And one should not forget a top bureaucrat (I think he is a full secretary; might even have retired) Bhim Bahadur Adhikari from Kawajit - known for his flawless honesty and aversion to corruption.

Well, Govinda Adhikari - former "Nepal Vidyarthi Sangh" chairman (or is he still the chief?) also hails from Tanahun.

And one cannot forget Narahari Acharya - the ex-publicity department chief of the NC. He is also a noted scholar and happens to be a brother of Jayaraj Acharya. In fact, another brother of theirs is a noted Sanskrit scholar. The Acharya Brothers represent the cross-section of of Nepalese scholarship - ranging from scholarship in antiquity to domestic political affairs to international affairs.

Hell, yeah, Tanahun has always been an intellectually, culturally, politically and spiritually fertile place. In fact, Tanahun is the cultural center of Nepal. Vyaas Nagar Paalikaa should be the capital of Nepal. Tanahun rocks!
OpinionLeader Posted on 12-Feb-02 01:08 AM

Orphe.. wrote: In fact, Tanahun is the cultural center of Nepal. Vyaas Nagar Paalikaa should be the capital of Nepal. Tanahun rocks!

Damauli(Tanahu) really rocks. I love to be in Damauli once again.
The biggest problem Damauli has has

1. Its a very narro valley, in hot weather it suffocates me. Really,
no cross flow of air, to make it capital of Nepal. Its just good
to be center of Gandaki Zone's political center.

2. It does not have area to expand laterally. Capital means you
need to have at least one local airport, but, damauli lacks even
hellicopter landing in foggy winter. But, day time is just fine.
For Bhasad its good place.

3. Damauli had a grand history of having Dohori geet by
Magar community on Maghe sakranti, whole night. Thats
one of the most favourite days of the year when I used
be there. The open land south of District office.
Unfortunately, the idiot Savapati, 4 swasni ko poi,
distributed all the open lands to Panches.

I heard that Damauli was designed by (town planning)
Israelies, after 2025saal(?) incident of transferring the
Tanahu Center, where Nirmal died and school was named
as Nirmal MB. Damauli had a lot of chowks and I guess it
still has. It had a rule in distributnig the land that there
should a special corner for Motor Car garage in each
house plot. The Jilla Panchayat Savapati was tellng that
who can have in Nepal private car, and he allowed
crushing the garage, and I am sure now many Damauli
Bashis can have their own private car, but, I am afraid
they might have lost their corner Israelies planned for
garage. I mean Tanahu also passed through such
short visioned Savapatis in Panchayat. In one stage,
I even heard they were selling the open land that
Israelies allocated for Public Gardens, and the Savapati
said, "hamlai ke ko baghaicha chahincha ra. Nachahine kura".
There used to a piece of land for this Bagaicha right east south of
Krishi ... Office and when I was there, it was sold out.
Its how Jilla Panchayat used to do land distirbution. Shame
on their short sighted ness. I am afraid, Damauli is
also passing through the same situation as now Pokhara
or KTM(already passed), where you do not have any
public open place to gather in evening.

If these political leaders wanted to know what open
space means, they should go to Hyder (?) Park in
London or in Central Park of NY. Peoples of Damauli
including whole Tanahu should start a campaign to
protect the open lands and let it be open land just
open if govt. or local city govt. can not manage, it
be really open. Kids play football in evening, and
peoples with high blood pressure to high sugar problem
to heart problem walk in early morning and let
the Young have dating place in late evening ...
and its what opening place means, and its surely
becomes a bad place if remains unmonitored in
late night, just the way Central Park in NY is
in mid-night to early morning, a place for gangsters
(the tour guide was telling). Its time to initiate
campaign to protect openlands. The open land
that you enjoyed should be available and freely
available to your kids and grand kids. Its the best
thing you can preserve for your kids and thats the
best gift you can offer. I wish Damauli Bashis including
Tanahu ka educated peoples gather and protect such free lands,
and they should not be suffering the way KTM kids now suffer.

Not only in Damauli, I am afraid in Khaireni tar to Dulegouda
the free land around Prithvi Highways needs to be protected
for the next generations sake. In Khaireni tar, you can have
grand sports stadium. I guess the Transport system has now
improved a lot, and peoples of Damauli can
go khairen tar and play their sports game in weekends and
return in the evening. Its just 22KM, and its something
like 22minutes if they have good transport system.

Keep it up. Make Tanahu Better, and politics of foul
game is not only important, but, Tanahu needs to
improve infrastructures for kids, and kids should not
be interested in politics until the 18th birthday, but,
must be spending more time on study and sports.

Another well known Tanahun bashi is Gyan Chandra Acharya, the young joint secretary and spokesperson at the Ministry for Foreign Affairs. The feela will surely make it to the top spot as Secretary with his talents.
He also heads the South Asia division and has already served at Nepalese Embassies in Germany and Brussels, I heard.
OpinionLeader Posted on 12-Feb-02 04:48 AM

I guess Karna Dhwoj Adhikari also comes from Tanahu.
If I remember correctly, there used to be one younger bro. of
Karna Dhwoj Adhikari, whom I met quite often in Chiya
& Samosa Cafe at Damauli. He was ex-nyayadhish ...(?)
I heard from some one else, because peoples used to
call him "Your Honor" in side talk.

Karna Dhwoj used to be also a recognized engineer (?)
and a big shot in ADB for sometime. He had some tussle
with Surya Bdr. Thapa too, and sometime, even with
others when the "OTHERS" wanted to draw money
from Nepal Rastra Bank, using tactics. He was considered a better
person with more tendency to being an honest administrator.

I heard from someone else in one consulting form that
Bhesh Bahadur Thapa 's son is now a recognized geologist, and
I am not sure whether Tanahu Bashi can be really proud of him,
I mean whether he feels of being from Tanahu or just
a KTM Bashi, whose forefathers were from Tanahu.

Well, I had an encounter with him in TND DB quite a long time
back, and I was surprised to see how peoples in power
played games and he participated in those foul games.
Its not me alone, some other readers were
surprised and they were sharing their disappointments.
All of us realised how I was screwed up by the TND authority
at that time, to bring the discussion and close the topic,
especially, when I had made "no mistakes".

So, I don't like the websites where you have moderators,
especially, when they twist results when the counter part in
your discussion has back door link with the authority, and
therefore, I am not that much proud of having him from
Gandaki Zone, when we found TND authority twisting things
for their personal benefit, and it happened in TND, which
many don't know.

Oh, all these name changes . . . just because Paschim used you as a character

Our fellow writer in this forum, Nepe ji, wrote in some
other thread, in some other contexts:



.....
If you feel need to search it, I seriously doubt if you really believe in the divine being. If you believe it is there, why would you need to search ?

So actually you are not believing yet, you are rather hoping it might be there, you are hoping you might find it.

So, all Believers ! At the end of the day, your belief is basically a short-circuit of logical thinking.

Nevertheless, good luck in your search.

I surely did not try to hide my "ROAR", and neither I have attempted
to illude peoples. But, I am searching for the minimum energy level,
that is what stable points with my nicknames. Well, I am passing through
a lot of local minimums, so I will settle with my ultimate minimum, i.e.
global saddle point. I am just enjoying local minima, i.e. new names.
That makes me very smiling and just trying to study how it differentiate
others attitude on me with my changing nicknames. I know you are not
going to give any importance to those local minima, when you already
know my global minima i.e. final destination, e.g. for me the GP refers to
"Global Position" , while others are just locals. Lets enjoy renaming
ourselves. When I was reading a book on "How to do your PR?"
a book I purchased in Singapore, quite long time back, it was telling
that you should keep on changing the your products' LogoMark to have peoples
attention, and if you can not change its (brochure) contents so regularly,
its better to change at least CoverPage to suit issues, it can be seasonal .
It should be appealing. I am trying to appeal my readers
from HahooGuru to now, OpinionLeader(XP Version). The contrast is visible.
Hey my dear readers and fellow writers, how did you like my PR.

Life is colorful, but, our picture looks good in black and white when we are in formal
PR. Recently when a student was asking me that whether he should wear
formal dress in an interview: suit-white shirt - tie, or just be casual.
I replied to him that be there on formal suit, so that no in the interview
diverts his/her attention away from what you know/ you want to tell
them about your subject matter. S/he should not engage on guessing on what
colored shirt--t-shirt-pants you wear mean and make a wrong judgement.
I mean in formal life, we surely should not be that much colorful, that we lose
our real ID. So, I am not trying to divert my contents, "ROAR", but,
surely the mask, that might confuse new comers, like a lion usually
waits some one out of these new comers.

Lets have fun.

what about gobinda bhattarai?
OpinionLeader Posted on 12-Feb-02 09:00 AM

Anyone knows how Ganga Nath Neupane is doing these days?
I missed him for long time. He used to head master at Jal Devi
Primary School. The primary school just across the river,
and close to Nirmal MB. I am wondering whether the
"Darai Jati" still own the land around there?

BTW, what about the temple about 4/5km east of
Damauli, "???? Barahi". Anyone having photograph of that
place. I am sure thats one of the best toursit spot
(for domestic tourists) in Damauli. At least Tanahu
Bashi should go there, at least once in a life time.

I think the fellow who used to have Great Kera Bari right on
the foot of .. Danda (Jholunge Pul pari ko danda ma) was
also great for me. Because in this shop in Damauli, you
could buy fresh vegatables and Banana (Kera). He had inspired
many peoples. Anyone remembers his name? ... Shrestha(?).

BTW, there used to be guy named Danda Pani ***** (Neupane) in
Nirmal MB? How is he doing? As Damauli area used to be
area of Neupane's , I could not find any names from Neupane
Khalak? Well, the Khanal Khalaks are doing pretty well, in
the Politics and education, but, the neupane seems to very
passive. And, Bhattarai and Thapa (Bhesh B. Thapa's relatives,
and his younger Bro.). What happened to family inspiration?
Meanwhile, Tanahu has a quite large number of Magar Basti
, Darai Basti, and Gurungs too, any big shots from those
communities? Nar Bahadur Gurung (?) used to be Minister during
Panchayat kal, but, there must be some of his successors from those
communities, especially, from Ex-British Gurkha Army.

Well, similarly, from Bandipur, and now most of them moved
to Dumre or Narayan Ghat? Some big shots in Deughat?
Any aghori baba in Debghat? Is debghat still part of Tanahu,
administered by Chitwan? I want to back up my knowledge
in Tanahu.

Thanks to the fellow, who spelled name of Dhruba Wagle.
Dhruba wagle was not only good orator, but, smart and
handsome too. I remember myself buying a T-shirt when
I found the same one in a shop that he was wearing while
giving a speech one saturday in Damauli. I did not
think it much, just bought to feel like Dhruba Wagle
(jamana kasto thiyo... ahile samjida kya ramailo. Its
so bad now a days, that life is getting B/W, don't have such
models to drive me like in those days. So sad.. I remember
one day, when I had a hair cutting very similar to Ramesh
Rai, the Karate Hero, and I was asked to change the
hair cut to normal on the next day morning, when I went
to see my close relatives: Chhya kasto kapala kateko ...
It was really hard to balance your family desire and your
personal desire. Its another sad story). I am
not kidding, but, that was the reality of time. How is
he? Daal -bhat dherai khayera dherai moto bhata chainan
hola ni hamra Dhruba ji, mayor bhe pachi.

Je hosh he was a nice guy, lets hope Pet lagera moto bhe

Tanahusur still have the cannons and cannon balls and even royal palace and other material from 17 century Tanahu kingdom... there still the remaining Houses of Newars and place called Hatiya.. it is all surrounded by magar villages, gangali thok, patyar thok, in the lower land there are more chhetris and bramans villages and yet another Well build Devi temple complex at basntapur. Shree bhadra sharma started his political career from that part of the villages.. SP Sahabir Thapa came from that Area, There is another flat place called Darampani, and has a school called Amarsingh.. near dharma pani there is alchalchaur.. with all chhetri adhikari family. Karna dhwoj Adhikari and some Col. came from there. All the newars migrated to Damauli has root from Hatiya Tanahunshur.. There is well build balaju style dhara (water taps) build near hatiya.
If you go to Bandipur one of the Awesome place to visit. Even at this height the market place is splendid. There is army barrack and a Famous Devi Temple.. today they have a nice School called Notredome academy run by Japanese Christian society. newars there tried to revigorated the city again. Some of the houses there are Rana style banglow. It is mostly surrounded by Magar villages.. they do have some Gurung gaun also. Dr. Mathura Shrestha came from there. I heard they have compiled the name of people who has contributed to the city of bandipur. They have health post, Helipad, Bhanu School, another girls school.. they are trying to open campus there... 24 hrs running balaju style dhunge dhara
Indeed.. tanahu is cool place to visit and damauli should be capitol of Nepal

And now here are some of the next generation's promising Tanahunge dudes:

1) Kamal Nepal "Yuddhaviraam" - a writer-in-progress (in Nepali literature)
2) Prawin Adhikari - A budding author of international caliber (the would-be Khuswant Singh of Nepal!); a promising English novelist of the future
3) Uttam Sharma - Slated to be a renowned Nepali economist in the next decade or two.

Hell, these are just futuristic predictions, and, like all futuristic statements, the predictions are probabilistic rather than deterministic, but I hereby declare that the probabilities of these three dudes emerging as Tanahun's
gems in the not-so-distant future are quite high, unless exogenous forces like death or mental retardation or something like that interrupts!

Keep rolling, Tanahunwasis!

Hey guys, does anybody remember a temple called Kota-ko-Nau in Tanahun district?
tanahunge Posted on 13-Feb-02 12:52 PM

I never heard of Kota-ko-Nau but here are some of the temples in Tanahun distict

1. chhaudi baraha, 5-7 km from Damauli
2. Basantapur Devi Tanahun sur
3. Bagawati Mandir Palpali thok (Tanahun Sur )
4. Devi Mandir in Damauli
5. Devi Mandir in Bandipur
6. Another Mandir in Bandipur
7. Barahi Mandir Satrasaye
8. Adhi Barahi Mandir 4-5 Km from Satrasaye
9. Jaladevi Mandir in Kalchok, just 4-5 Km from BimalNagar
10. Chipkeshori (there no Mandir but.. is Awesome place to go ) it probably is longer walk than to Manakamana.. I heard Chipkeshori is the Tallest Hill in Tanahun District
Does manakamana is part of tanahu district ???

I don't know much about bhimat, Romshi, ramkot, Rishing Ghiring Areas, so is the area that is close to lamjung.. like tohure pasal area, I don't know Dr. Bhek bhahadur Thapa's Village gaun... As some body had mention earlier, not only Tanahun is political and intillecutal melting point but also religious and spiritually diverse place... I am pretty sure there are dogen more Temples in Tanahun

Some other places of interests:
* Byas Gupha, Parasar Gupha in Damauli
* Manung Ko Danda for hiking (in the west of Damauli)
* Akala Mandir near satrasaya (is it the same Adhi Barahi as Tanahunge mentioned?)
* Chundi Ramgha (Bhanu Bhakta's birth place): Can be reached by motor upto besi (sepa baghainchha).
* Tuhure Pasal and Chandrawati area (way beyond Sepaha Bagainchha)

Some info:
Damuli is newly developed town (in the last 25 years) and almost near to saturation because of its geography. When I was very young, I heard this Tijako git saying "Pahile ta Damauli ma Tapre Ghari Tanana; Ahile ta Damauli ma Motor Ghanana"

Can anyone tell me where lie Duchuli and Barchuli Danda? It is somewhere in between Tanahun, Nawalparasi and Palpa. I have once travelled from the side of these peaks while going to Bulingtar from Kawasoti. There is another folk song on these peaks: "Deuchuli~~~~ Barchuli~~~~~ Danda ~~; Maya Bhayo Jhan Tadha, Jhan Tadha"

Hahoo guru: Devghat is still under the administration of Tanahun.
