B. K. Rana · 2003संक्षिप्त मगर इतिहास (Sankshipta Magar Itihas)This book is on the Magars of Nepal. The Magars are the indigenous peoples who make 3rd largest population size
by 7.14 % after the Chettris 15.80 % and Brahmans 12.74 % in Nepal [2001]. No individual caste or ethnic population seems exceeding 16.00 % in Nepal. This suggests that every other individual caste or ethnic [indigenous population] group of population in Nepal falls in minority in a strict demographic sense.
This books sings the glorious history of the Magars who immensely contributed in founding of the present Nepal.- MLaxmi Prasad Devkota · 1979Munā-MadanaOne of the most admired works in Nepali literature, Muna madan is an episodic poem, a short epic narrative by the Nepalese poet Laxmi Prasad Devkota. Just before his death in 1959, the poet made his famous statement, "It's alright if all of my works are burned, except for Muna Madan." It describes the life of a man who has to leave his family and wife and go to Tibet to make money so that he can pay his family's debt. His dear wife Muna urges him to stay and tells him wealth means nothing but satisfaction of soul is everything but he leaves anyway. While returning he becomes sick on the way. His friends( of highers castes/race) leave him on the road to die. But he survives after a kind Tibetan helps him. The lesson the poet gives here is that greatness of a man doesn't come from which race he is born into but his actions and kindness of heart. When he returns home, he discovers a heartbreaking truth that he cannot bear. The expression of the grief and heartbreak is truly heart rending and one cannot help reading the verses over and over. Overall, it's a great read.
Narayan Wagle · 2005Palpasa CaféFelicitated by Madan Purashkar in the year 2005, Palpasa Cafe, a novel by Narayan Wagle, is one stop for readers of all kinds and ages. The editor of Kantipur Daily, Wagle's novel is set during the 10-year-long Maoists insurgency in Nepal. Opening on the nameless character referred only as 'I' is an artist and is on the verge of earning prominence with his undaunted skills in art. Few causal yet co-incidental meetings with Palpasa develops into strong feelings between the two. No, this isn't a romantic novel for the emotion is dealt with on a more platonic level here. The story progresses ahead with unexpected twists and turns, and series of co-incidences. Though the scenes appear simple, they bear many marvel points that touch. The book has its share of message and visions for a youthful living along with the suffering we had to go through in the hands of the Maoist and the then government. One of the strong points of the book is its characterization. They are all strong and have definite sense of purpose and beliefs that make them almost too real. For instance, Palpasa is a daring woman who comes back to Nepal from the States and wants to make a significant career in documentary film making. Chhiring and Kishore on the other hand are the rising stars in their photography and singing career respectively. Palpasa's grandmother becomes the author's mouthpiece in voicing his love for his motherland. They are all so simple and life like that one is bound to find at least a character they can relate to. The novel works on different level and through each character Wagle reflects on our culture, values and most important of all deals with the current fascination of the youth in being educated abroad and choosing to live there giving way to a severe case of brain-drain. But the book also has characters that come back to their motherland with great zeal and enthusiasm. Another pressing topic that the book addresses through a series of minor characters is the effect of violence on the innocent people. The writer creates the scenes of skeletal remains of schools and hospitals after series of bombarding and gunfire as we turn the pages. Loss of loved ones in the violence and the pain it causes is shown from different perspective like the death of Mami's children, death of the husband of a newly married woman and the tragedy of losing a best friend experienced by a child. Realistic, simple and the easy flow of language makes it an interesting read It has so much to offer and it succeeds in doing this succinctly, making every information it wants to share brief and to the point. Palpasa Cafe got the hype and it certainly lives up to it.
