@rabithapa @DineshDSouza Dinesh D Souza has been pronounced “mooji” since ancient times.

Let me clarify. I’m not saying “Thighland” is how it is said in the Thai language. The French say “Paree” but that’s not how it is pronounced in English. “Thighland,” not “Tai-land,” is how English speakers around the world say it

@johnsifton Says it all about the eighteenth century I guess.

Kathmandu by @BellThomasBell is one of the rare books that connect history and current events and make both relevant to each other. It reminded me of City of Djjins by William Dalrymple

Today my book Cities of Strangers is published, without the rituals that usually follow cambridge.org/core/books/cit…
It was, therefore, a real pleasure to be invited by @ConversationUK to write about one of its strand which seems relevant:

@pigreen1 @aloktuladhar We’re in the UK, at last until travel restrictions ease again.

@BellThomasBell @aloktuladhar yes thanks - just about to fly to Cape Town to see my son and his family - and you?

What is Kathmandu's soul & identity? Lhasa trade route. Water management. Vajrayan Buddhism. Vernacular architecture. Tall tales & more. Some of it, from centuries BC, still alive & kicking.
Everyone invited🙏. No fee🙏. No registration🙏. Just show up at maps.app.goo.gl/WpXewwj2Nz735J…

@aloktuladhar Do read @BellThomasBell on 'Kathmandu' for a sensitive and comprehensive exploration of this question

It looks cool

Excited to hear that my Cities of Strangers, the book which began with the Wiles Lectures @QUBelfast @medievalqub and which taught me much about citizenship and belonging - their attractions and limitations - in pre-modern Europe's cities. cambridge.org/core/books/cit… @Medievalists

A thread on stories @kathmandupost published last year which put the paper and its editor at odds with the Chinese embassy whose officials are probably not used to seeing critical news reports about China being printed in Nepali outlets.

Books import down by 34% in Nepal after the government imposed 10% customs duty on the import of books last year.
KRISHNA ACHARYA@KrishnaAcharyaG
पुस्तक आयात ३४% ले घट्यो - पञ्चायतकाल,राजतन्त्रात्मक व्यवस्थामा समेत कार्यान्वयन हुन नसकेको पुस्तकलाई करका कारण संसद्देखि सडकसम्म यो सरकारले आलोचना खेप्नु परिरहेको छ । - प्रतिशोधमा कर छली गरिरहेको भन्दै पुस्तक बिक्रेताहरूमाथि अनुसन्धान गरिरहेको छ । ekantipur.com/news/2020/02/1…
