The oppositional space of city, is not so much an emplotment, as a disruption of the government map. While one could argue that the desire for self-government stretches back to the time when Bhaktapur was its own city state (before 1769), evidence for modern progressive oppositional politics begins only 60 years ago, and culminates in the Hyo(n)ju Incident, which is still a defining moment in Bhaktapurıs political imagination. One of the major ways that people generate political power is through demonstrations ( julus)), and general strikes (bands) which can be traced in Nepalıs Peopleıs Movement. Many of the political demonstrations proceeded along Bhaktapurıs festival route. From where you are standing, walk north. You are now moving along the cityıs Sa(n)-La (n ) (Cow Path ) which circumambulates the city.
