Heritage of Words - Hurried Trip to Avoid a Bad Star
6. Hurried Trip to Avoid a Bad
Star
The people of
Karnali zone depend economically upon the lowland regions to the south,
especially Nepalgunj. Most of the people are farmers. But their farm product is
not sufficient to them because it can’t support them. So they have to sell and
buy things for their day to day livelihood. According to the writers, the
people of Karnali carry different local products such as herbs, sweaters,
baskets, blankets and so on to Nepalgunj to sell them there. Some people take
Silajit with them and sell it Nepalgunj. After selling their products, they
return with cotton cloths, jewelry, pots, spice and distillery equipment to
Karnali. Some people go to the lowland regions to get government and private jobs.
However, mostly people are uneducated and superstitious. People of Karnali,
moreover, combine their farming with trading. They have been struggling for
their livelihood.
People of Karnali
are conservative and they follow the good star when they leave their homes.
Similarly, they are not aware of ecological and environmental degradation. The
skeletal looking SAL trees indicate about the exploitation of nature. It shows
that they are indifferently cutting down the trees and they are not worried
about the jungle and their own future. They are only solving the present
problem. It seems that they are not conscious of their future. They don’t know
the fatal consequences of the degradation of nature. Actually they are hopeless
because they must solve their present problem.
