| Abstracts: Migration within a country does not affect its total population size and growth rate, but it affects regional and sub-regional population and growth rate within the country. This article deals with internal migration in Nepal, based on the data collected during the 2001 census. It examines the volume and pattern of internal migration by zones, regions and districts, and analyses the various streams of migration and the period of migration. It also examines the reasons and characteristics of internal migrants and non-migrants with respect to literacy, occupational status and ethnic status. |

| Abstracts: The article classifies and describes the lineage structures found in the vast majority of the Tibetan Buddhist paintings. The article deals with traditional Tibetan classification of Buddhist art wherein classification occurs according to function, hierarchy and placement of figures, and hierarchy of iconographic classes in the paintings, and also explores the chronological conventions for lineages. It argues that depictions of lineages can help better understand the art history, iconography, and even religious culture of Tibet in general. |

| Abstracts: This is a link to an abstract. Though all mongoloids of India are known to have originated from the Mongol region of China, little is known about the period and route of their migration to different Himalayan regions. This study demonstrates that the present day mongoloids of Sikkim are genetically distinct from mongoloids of Northeast India by tracing their route of migration, time of settlement, and admixture with other non-mongoloid populations of adjoining areas. |

| Abstracts: While Nepal is constitutionally recognised as a multilingual nation, scholars, citizens and the government still disagree about the number of languages spoken within its borders. The article deals with linguistic diversity of Nepal, endangered languages, and their decline. It observes that Nepali linguistic policy must move beyond the banning or promotion of individual languages as per political pressures, to an informed approach with indigenous ethno-linguistic perspectives. |
