Nepathya – Ghatana (घटना)

Maina Pokhari Ghatana - Incident Disgrace In the early noon of 9th May 2004, on the mountainous highway near Maina Pokhari, a public bus heading to Kathmandu from Jiri was caught in the crossfire of army troupes and Maoist guerillas. Within a quarter of an hour, eight innocent Nepali lost their lives. The army and the Maoist suffered losses too. When the press flashed image of a surviving grandmother holding 20-day-old grandchild, more emotions broke loose. Amrit was also disheartened. Soon, he travelled to the incident site. The heavy air of a terrible loss and a grim ambience of a disgraceful act. He all captured one by one, talking with villagers, survivors and helpless eyewitnesses. Instead of chords, Amrit remained surrounded by silence. Out of this painful contemplation of Maina Pokhari incident has come 'Ghatana' in a blend of narrative folk art of the wandering Gandharvas - the Nepali troubadours, fused to Rock Ballad. It is a portrait and a condemning of such 'Incident Disgrace' that has hardly stopped to cease in Nepal and elsewhere. [Nepali Translation] ६१ साल वैशाख २७ गतेको मध्यान्ह दोलखाको सुन्दर पहाडी राजमार्गमा अकस्मात चित्कारहरु गुञ्जिएको थियो। मैनापोखरी भनिने त्यस ठाउँमा जिरीबाट काठमाडौँका निम्ति हिंडेका यात्रु बस एक्कासी सेना र माओवादीको दोहोरो गोलिबारीको शिकार बन्न पुगे। पौने घण्टा नबित्दै त्यहाँ सेना र माओवादीका लाशहरु त छरिए नै, आठ जना निर्दोष नेपालीले पनि ज्यान गुमाउन पुगे । घटना पछि बाँचेकी एउटा बज्यै र २० दिनकी नातिनीको तस्वीर पत्रिकामा छापियो। धेरैका धैर्यका बाँधहरु भत्किय। तिनै मध्येका एक थिए अमृत। उनी लगत्तै घटनास्थल पुगे। वातावरणमा विभत्सता आलै थियो। उनले सबै दृष्यलाई एक पछि अर्को गर्दै कैद गरे, गाउँलेहरुसँग कुरा गरे, बाँचेकाहरुलाई सोधे र निरिह प्रत्यक्षदर्शीहरुलाई कोट्याए। धुनहरु बजिरहने मन वरपर अकस्मात निरन्तरको शुन्यता छायो। त्यही भोगाइको अभिव्यक्तिहरु मैनापोखरी गीत बन्न पुगेको छ । मनमा लागेका चोटलाई शब्दले कथेर गाउँ गाउँ सारंगी रेट्दै हिंड्ने, गाइने दाइहरुको भाकामा आधारित यो गीतले यतिबेला आफ्नै दाजुभाइबाट मारिएको नेपालीको विडम्वना सुनाएको छ। Find this song in online music stores: Spotify - https://spoti.fi/2NWXLLE iTunes - https://apple.co/2oTihlp Apple Music - https://apple.co/2wXqIzL Google Play - http://bit.ly/2Mr5RLg Amazon - https://amzn.to/2NvZ9Yw Deezer - http://bit.ly/2oPW47T Tidal - http://bit.ly/2oTUJwU A good read after you've listened the complete song: Coming full circle at Mainapokhari by Amrit Gurung: Amrit Gurung revisited Dolakha on Dec. 2017 to meet Nani Maiya Kafle and her daughter Sona, about whom he had composed this song that told the story of a tragic event during the conflict.
