Modern Farming Practices Threaten Traditional Bethi in Nepal

Modern Farming Practices Threaten Traditional Bethi in Nepal

In the eastern hill districts of Nepal, including Dhankuta, the traditional practice of Bethi, a collective paddy plantation accompanied by folk songs and community celebrations, is fading. This cultural practice, which involved villagers working together in the fields while singing Ashare Bhaka, is being replaced by modern farming techniques. The mechanization of agriculture and the lure of foreign employment have contributed to the decline of this tradition. Local residents, like Tara Bahadur Thapa and Devi Maya Karki, express concern over the loss of cultural heritage and the weakening of social bonds that Bethi once fostered. Efforts are being made to preserve this tradition, but challenges such as labor shortages and changing socio-economic conditions persist.
