| description | Looking back on his discussions with Philippe Sagant, and also based on textual sources (legal and administrative) and field observations, Marc Gaborieau studies the nature and limits of land ownership rights in the Hindu Kingdom of Nepal up to the second half of the 20th century. It is a complex game between three protagonists: the subjects who live on the land and farm it, royal power and its administration, which authorise and regulate their access to that land, and last but not least, the gods who are its primary, eminent masters, to whom the king himself is subject. In this unequal struggle for land access, as well as access to women, it is always the gods that retain the upper hand: humans—king and subjects alike—always come second after them, and only get leftovers. |
