I-Hippie Trail Ekubunjweni Kwezokuvakasha ZaseNepal

I-Hippie Trail yayixhuma iMpumalanga neNtshonalanga. Kwandise kanjani ezokuvakasha eNepal? Ukukhuphuka nokuwa kwenkathi yama-hippie e-Nepal kanye nokubunjwa kwayo kwezokuvakasha…

Igagasi lentsha elahlasela umhlaba wonke ngeminyaka yawo-'60s - libheke ukubalekela izimpilo ezimatasa zangemva kwempi. Itholakala enhliziyweni yaseNingizimu Asia, inhloko-dolobha encane, Kathmandu ngokushesha kwaba ukukhetha okungcono kakhulu phakathi kweqembu.

Njengoba u-Kathmandu ebasiza ngentokozo, noma kunjalo, insangu ne-hashish kwathengiswa ngokusemthethweni ngemali eshibhile. – ngokuthengekayo.

Ngokushesha, iKathmandu yatheleka nezivakashi ezivela kuwo wonke umhlaba.

Izwi lasakazeka ngokushesha ngezwe elincane lasezulwini elineziqongo eziphakeme kanye nenjabulo 'ephakeme'. Amashumi ezinkulungwane zezivakashi zaseNtshonalanga zangena eNepal ngoSilk Road.

The Silk Road kwakuwumzila wasendulo wezohwebo owawuhlanganisa izwe laseNtshonalanga ne-Asia. Njengoba umnyakazo wamaHippie uqala, umzila waphinde wanikezwa isibizo esithi 'Hippie Trail.'

Ukuxhuma iMpumalanga neNtshonalanga: I-Hippie Trail

I-Hippie Trail bekuwumzila oheha abahambi abaningi abanomoya okhululekile, abavame ukubizwa ngokuthi ama-hippie, abadabula eNepal nakwezinye izingxenye zase-Asia. Lokhu kwaholela ekwandeni kwabantu bakwamanye amazwe abanezinwele ezinde nentshebe ababehlola iKathmandu, okwaba nengxenye emkhathini wedolobha onempilo nohlukahlukene phakathi naleso sikhathi.

Abantu abaku-Hippie Trail babephakathi kweminyaka eyi-16 nengama-30 ubudala futhi bamukele umqondo oqinile, okhululekile owawuphikisana nempi. Babebonakala ngokukhululeka kwabo, imvelo yokuhlola, befuna ulwazi olusha kanye nezindlela zokuphila ezihlukile.

I-Kathmandu Durbar Square (i-Basantapur) kwakuyi-ultima yama-hippie aye e-Nepal enqamula e-Istanbul. I-Jhonchhe - umgwaqo omncane oseningizimu ye-Durbar Square - yaqanjwa kabusha ngokuthi i-Freak Street - njengoba iphunga lezidakamizwa zemvelo lenyuka ngaphezu kwesibhakabhaka.

I-Freak Street yaziguqula yaba ibhrendi eyaziwa emhlabeni wonke. Insangu kanye nezidakamizwa ezinjalo zazithengiswa ngokusemthethweni ezitolo ezincane kuFreak Street - futhi zingadliwa obala emagcekeni aseDurbar, kuthokozelwe isixuku esifanayo.

Kancane kancane, uKathmandu waba matasatasa futhi egcwele ukuphila, enamahippie egqoke izingubo ezimibalabala nobuso obudlangile.

I-Freak Street idale futhi yathuthukisa amandla ezokuvakasha e-Nepal - okwakungaziwa kangako ngaphambili.

Isikhathi sika-1965-1973 - i-Hippie Era - yenza iNepal yaba indawo ekahle yababhali abadumile, abaculi namafilosofi. AmaHippies afanayo abe negalelo elikhulu ekuthuthukisweni kobuciko besimanje baseNepalese, umculo, nezincwadi - ingasaphathwa eyokuhamba phambili kwezokuvakasha.

Inkosi Engasekho yaseNepal u-Mahendra Bir Bikram Shah ukhuthaze ukuthengiswa nokusatshalaliswa kwezidakamizwa ezinjalo zokuzijabulisa esikhundleni sokuvinjelwa.

Ngokutheleka kwezivakashi zakwamanye amazwe, iNepal yachuma ngokwezomnotho nangokwenhlalo. Kodwa lo mkhuba awukwazanga ukuhlala isikhathi eside njenge-American Prez. URichard Nixon akakwazanga ukujabulisa intsha yaseNtshonalanga eyenza izidakamizwa. Izinyathelo zikaNixon zokumisa ngokuphelele lokhu zibekiwe.

Ngokombono kaNixon, insangu, i-hashish, nongqingili kwakuyizitha zomphakathi oqinile. Ngokombono wezepolitiki, lona bekuwumzamo wakhe ohlulekile wokumisa ubukhomanisi obukhulayo. Ngo-1972, uNixon wamemezela ukuthi i-United States ngeke inikeze usizo lwezempi, lwezezimali nanoma yiluphi olunye usizo kunoma yisiphi isizwe esikhulula ukuthengiswa, ukusatshalaliswa, kanye nokusetshenziswa kwensangu.

Ngakho-ke, Ukuphela Kwenkathi Ye-Hippie

Ngenxa yengcindezi kaNixon kanye nokusungulwa kwe-Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) ngo-1973, iHippie Paradise yaseNepal yaphela.

Iziphathimandla zicekele phansi izitshalo.

Abantu baseNepal nama-hippie abazange bajabule lapho bebona lokhu kususwa kukahulumeni. Womabili la maqembu acasulwe yisenzo sepolitiki.

Uhulumeni waseNepal waqala izinyathelo zokumisa ukungena kwamahippie eNepal. Njengomgomo, isizwe sayeka ukunikeza ama-visa kubantu abanezinwele ezinde nentshebe. Amahippie ayephuca amakhanda awo futhi kamuva akhulise izinwele zawo eNepal. Naphezu kwale mizamo, umsebenzi wamahippie waqhubeka iminyaka embalwa.

Nali isiqephu senhlolokhono endala:

Ngokusho kukaSwamiji, 56, uhulumeni ngeke avimbe ukutshalwa kwensangu njengoba iyindlela yokuziphilisa kwabaningi.

Ama-Hippies kanye nabantu bendawo babekhathazeke kakhulu ngokuthi yini eyayizolandela enhloko-dolobha yama-hippie. Ngokusho kukaSwamiji, 56, uhulumeni ngeke avimbe ukutshalwa kwensangu njengoba iyindlela yokuziphilisa kwabaningi. Ihlezi phakathi kwamahippie aseJalimane namaFulentshi, egqoke isigqoko saseNepalese (i-Dhaka Topi), uSwamiji wacasuka, “Bangayivala kanjani insangu? ICannabis iyisisekelo sokuphila kwabalimi baseNepal. Balima ilayisi nensangu ngokulinganayo.”

Eceleni kwawo kunodonga olunesaziso esibhaliwe esithi, “KUNQATSHELWE UKUBHEMA ITSHILA LAPHA.”

A i-chillum, noma i-chilam, iyipayipi eliqondile eliwugwayi eliyindilinga ngokwesiko elenziwa ngobumba noma ngetshe elithambile.

Kodwa uChillum ubegijinyiswa eqenjini likaSwamiji. “AbaseNtshonalanga beza kithi ukuze bathole umthunzi opholile wolwazi olungokomoya nolwefilosofi; singazinqanda kanjani?” engeza ngomoya ophansi.

Izinguquko Kwezenhlalo Nezombangazwe eNepal Ngemva kwalokho

Ukuvinjelwa komthombo oyinhloko wemali engenayo wabalimi baseNepal kuthuthumele iNepal. Amashumi ezinkulungwane zabalimi afinyelele onqenqemeni lwendlala ngemuva kokuba uhulumeni eshise amapulazi abo ewunga. Abanye baboshwa nabo. Inani lezivakashi ezivela kwamanye amazwe lehla, kanjalo nomnotho wezwe wehla.

Ithuba lalingcono kakhulu, lokuba amakhomanisi aseNepal akhulume avune abalimi futhi azikhulisele wona.

IQembu LamaKhomanisi, lisizakala ngezikhalo zendawo, laqinisekisa abantu ukuthi izinkinga zabo zaziyoxazululwa kuphela ngokuketula uhulumeni ngobudlova.

Impi kaNixon yezidakamizwa kanye nobukhomanisi yambuyisela emuva. Impi yabantu abangamaMaoist - Ukuvukela Kwama-Maoist - eyaqala kusukela eRukum-Rolpa, eyayibizwa ngokuthi ithemba elisha loshintsho, yaba ezweni lonke ngesikhathi esifushane.

AmaMaoist, agcina esengumbutho wezwe lonke, acishe amisa yonke into ngokubhikisha ezweni lonke. Lapho impi ehlomile emelene nobukhosi iphela ngo-2006 ngemva kweminyaka eyishumi, izwe lase libuswa yiMaoist ngamaphesenti angu-80.

Abalandeli bakaMao bakhuphukele phezulu kwezombusazwe kuleli ngokuqeda ubukhosi beShah Dynasty ngomlando weminyaka engu-240. Ngisho nangemva kokungena kwentando yeningi eNepal, kwadingeka ukuthi idlule ezihlahleni eziningi ngenxa yokuguquguquka kwamandla okuqhubekayo.

UFreak Street, osesigabeni semijondolo esibone konke lokhu, ubukeka enesizungu kancane namuhla.

Igagasi loguquko alibonakali nje kuphela emigomeni nakwezombangazwe zezwe kodwa nakuFreak Street.

Ukuhamba phansi ngo-Freak Street wanamuhla, iphunga elidala ngeke lenze noma ubani 'aphakame' namuhla. Kodwa noma ubani ovela ku-Hippie Era nakanjani usazozizwa edakiwe.

Ezinye izitolo nezindawo zokudlela ze-Hippie Era zisekhona. Nokho, i-'Hashish Hot Chocolate' isishintshele ku-'Hot Chocolate', futhi 'i-Ganja Milk Coffee' isishintshele ku-'Cafe Latte'. Futhi ama-hippie aseshintshile abe 'ama-hipsters'.
