Remote’ town in the Indian Himalaya / Mathur, Nayanika   Article
Mathur, Nayanika Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This article studies the impact of the creation of a new state in northern India through an analysis of space. The space under consideration is the town of Gopeshwar, which serves as the administrative headquarters of a district in the state of Uttarakhand. Uttarakhand was created as a distinct Himalayan state in 2000 after a prolonged period of mass agitation to this end. The movement for statehood had emphasized historical neglect coupled with exploitation of the mountains of Uttarakhand by the plains. Beginning with an analysis of the town plan, this article moves on to describe how this place is made into a space by everyday practices. In particular it concentrates on the narratives of agents of the state who express a longing to escape this ‘remote’ town. Through an interrogation of the trope of remoteness, this article argues that the creation of the new state has served, ironically enough, to accentuate the traditional characterization of the Himalaya as a backward, inferior space within India.

Summary/Abstract Modi’s two day trip to Nepal has made both New Delhi and Kathmandu more optimistic expecting a turnaround in the low tide of relations. During his visit, he made the right moves and used the right words to woo the people of Himalayan state. In the backdrop of increasing Chinese influence in that country, it might be a deft move of strategic diplomacy. His broad-based positive projection to follow a healthy neighbourhood policy for regional cooperation and progress is really high appealing that is revealed from his eager move to neighbouring states and talk with leaders in those countries.
