Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Due to its location, Nepal is known as earthquake danger zone. The major events in the past caused enormous losses in terms of casualties, injuries, biodiversity, and the country’s economy. Two major earthquake 1934 and 2015 can be found in existing Hindi and Nepali literature.

We will read selected passages from Brahma shamsher Janga Bahadur Rana’s nepālko mahābhūkampa, and other selected articles, poems, stories. Our course aims at development of overall proficiency in the language and build up advanced capacity of reading, writing and interpreting skills. Moreover, we will also read passages from Hindi literature focussing on Nepali literature (e.g. Rahul Sankrityayan’s autobiography merī jīvan yātrā 2).
