HISTORY OF MOTOR CAR IN NEPAL. WHO INTRODUCED IT?

Today, when in a hurry or a moment of urgency to reach our particular destination, we always sigh relief with the easy accessibility to the mode of road transportation. It is only during such situations that we take a moment to appreciate the efforts taken to create cars.

But at the same time, the appreciation fills our minds with curiosity about when who, and how the first car was introduced in Nepal. Knowing that millions of vehicles inside Nepal today are providing facilities to millions of people across the country, we do credit Ranas for introducing cars back then.

But what if I say that cars were instead introduced in Nepal for their luxury than to think of an accessible mode of transportation? What if I say the people used to carry cars first before the cars started taking them? Indeed, there are plenty of stories about this topic, and today, we ought to discuss and deploy the details on it.

THE FIRST CAR IN NEPAL

As far as our legendary stories go, the first car introduced in Nepal dates back to 1922 and belongs to Britain’s Prince Edward (later King Edward VIII). Back then, he used to ride the car across the border of Chitwan, Kasara, to hunt tigers. Yes, it was also a similar timeframe when the Ranas ruling in Nepal got immersed in the idea of having cars.

It was an addiction, and the Ranas could not get enough cars, but there were no roads for them to bring these cars inside Kathmandu. But as we say, if there is a will, there is a way; Ranas bought those cars physically through the labor force. Back then, it was Chandra Shamsher who acted as the leading force in this mission, as he initially purchased one for himself.

Hundreds of young, influential youths from villages near Makwanpur were hired to physically carry the cars over the mountains from Bhimphedi to Thankot. During that tenure, Ranas would remove the wheels and seats separated from the car’s body and take them separately.

Without road connectivity, the Balami and Tamang porters of the Makwanpur district carried the cars in a bamboo cart. Their usual routes include Chitlang, Kushle Chaur, Markhu Pauwa, Kulekhani, and Phakhel. Initially, the rulers would bring the cars from Kolkata (then Calcutta) and move them to Amlekhgunj.

Later, the potters would carry them, and it would take almost 2–3 days to reach Chunikhel, Thankot. From there on, they would assemble the parts and ride the cars to their respective destinations.

What’s more shocking than the physical labor for cars? Well, the potters would often agree to this labor for free and would often take turns to deliver them. At times, if they were to get paid, the minimal wage started from 5 ana to Re.1 and an extra Re. 1 as a commission.

If you look down the history books, you will also see Gehendra Shamsher along the line to import a Ford company vehicle on his own. It is stated that Gehendra was quite fond of cars, and he was the one to install the light in them on his own, as the vehicles that were repurchased in Nepal then had no lights.

FOREMOST CAR RIDE IN NEPAL

Back in the day, no general public was allowed to purchase a car, which was illegal. Even after the first automobile had appeared in Nepal, it was only after 50 years that the general public got no restrictions on car purchases. It has been over a century since the first car was introduced in Nepal.

Bears tortured and forced to dance are finally rescued: dancing bears in Nepal rescued

The last known dancing bears in Nepal rescued

Bears tortured and forced to dance are finally rescued

World Animal Protection (World Animal Protection)

NEW YORK, Dec. 22, 2017 — A dramatic rescue of two tortured sloth bears took place overnight in Nepal on December 19 by the Jane Goodall Institute of Nepal, with support from World Animal Protection and Nepali police.

These are the last two known Nepali-owned illegal ‘dancing bears.’ Like so many performing animals, Rangila, a 19-year-old male, and Sridevi, a 17-year-old female, were sold to their owner to be used as dancing bears – a cruel, outlawed practice where bears are made to “dance” as entertainment for crowds of people.

Bears like Rangila and Sridevi are snatched from their mother at an early age and forced to perform. Their owner had pierced their nose with a burning hot rod and shoved a rope through it – to retain control of the large animals. Harsh training methods are then used in order to make them submissive enough to perform for tourists.

With the help of local police, the bears were found in Iharbari, Nepal via mobile phone tracking of the owners. The rescue was emotional for all involved, and the bears were in an extremely distressed state, showing signs of psychological trauma such as cowering, pacing, and paw sucking.

The bears are now in the temporary care of Amlekhgunj Forest and Wildlife Reserve.

World Animal Protection has a 20-year history of working with local partners to bring an end to such cruelty. Having seen an end to bear dancing in Greece, Turkey and India, the NGO is also close to phasing out bear baiting in Pakistan.

Neil D’Cruze of World Animal Protection, said: “Rangira and Sridevi have suffered for too long in captivity since they were poached from the wild. It’s extremely distressing to see animals being stolen from the wild, and the sad reality is there are more wild animals suffering across the world, purely for the entertainment of tourists. I am pleased that for these two sloth bears at least, a happy ending is finally in sight.”

Manoj Gautam of Jane Goodall Institute of Nepal, says: “We are thrilled that the last two known Nepali dancing bears have been rescued from their lifetime of suffering. After a year of tracking them, using our own intelligence and in cooperation with local police, our hard effort and dedication has helped to bring an end to this illegal tradition in Nepal.”

The suffering of bears in Asia is still not over, and World Animal Protection continues its campaign to protect bears. Across Asia, the organization is working to stop the exploitation of bears used for the horrific blood sport of bear baitingand in the cruel and unnecessary bear bile industry, where approximately 22,000 Asiatic black bears are stuck in tiny cages, with permanent holes in their stomach and constantly milked for their bile. Their bile and gallbladders are dried, powdered, and sold as panacea to be used as ‘traditional medicine’.
