Such a tumultuous movement in the sphere of Nepali politics occurred under democracy through strikes, protests, dharnas (sit-ins) and bandhs (closure). Bandhs (strikes), curfews, kidnappings and roadblocks have closed a third of the country's manufacturing base -- including the carpet-weaving sweatshops, often reliant on child labour, that produce one of Nepal's major exports. When the bandhs (dykes) were built, if one broke, the worker responsible would be killed and buried under it - to teach others a lesson, but also because of superstition. |
