If you search for Deva Thapa on YouTube, you can see Deva Bahadur Kanwar Magar (Deva Thapa) of high stature fighting against Bhimkaya Kustiwaj in a wrestling tournament in Anekan city in India. Deva's father, Chandra Bahadur, who lives in Rollabas village of Nisdi Rural Municipality-7, Jamire, is only a little aware of his son's fame. He who does not have access to the Internet is shocked if others open YouTube and show him playing God's wrestling.

"I have heard that he will fight with Pahalman," said 53-year-old Babu Chandra, "I don't know much about anything else." Deva was born as the eldest son in this remote settlement with 20-25 houses. Chandra said, 'We are poor people, we could not teach. He went out to work as a child. Now he is in India. According to Chandra, Deva studied only up to 5th grade in the village school. According to Chandra, Dev came down from the village to Butwal in search of work at a young age. He said that his son escaped to India while working for two or three years. He said, "I learned to wrestle while working in a hotel (dhaba) in Punjab, India." According to Chandra, he has only come home three times in the past 15 years.

According to Chandra's neighbor Dem Bahadur Sinjali, Deva's father did not have much contact with him after he went to India. However, he has occasional contact with his friends. When he comes to the village, Deva also meets with everyone. He also said that although he knows that his father is alone at home, he is unable to stay in the village due to God's compulsion. According to Babu Chandra, Dev Bahadur married a Nepali of Indian origin from Assam, India, two years ago. Chandra knows that Deva is married to a girl who liked his son's wrestling. 

There are hundreds of videos of gods wrestling on YouTube and social media. Which has more than tens of millions of viewers. You can also see the scene of him fighting with a famous wrestler from India and the audience chanting Nepal...Nepal.... Anyone would be amazed to see him wrestle with wrestlers twice his size and deftly outmaneuver his opponents. According to family members and locals, while working in Dhawa in Punjab, India, one day Deva, who was excited to see wrestling on television, told him about wrestling with Sahu. Deva, who learned the technique of wrestling by occasionally visiting the wrestling arena near Dhawa, became famous by playing in small tournaments.

After all the three brothers and sons are in India and after his wife passed away, Deva's father has become a loner in the village. He lives alone in an old and dilapidated house with half pants, sandals and jingling hair. Being lonely, Hattapatta Chandra does not cook at home. Chandra, who eats at his neighbor's sister-in-law's house, said that he cooks at home only when his sons come. From small towns to rural areas of India, Devas are seen fighting with wrestlers in wrestling competitions held at cultural events, fairs and festivals.

In such competitions, Deva is known as the wrestler of Nepal. And the audience is heard loudly hooting in his favor. The villagers of Deva are upset because the local level and the government are oblivious to Deva, which bears the name of the whole of Nepal. "If we create an environment for such young people to live here, they would spread the name of Nepal to the world," said Mohan Rakse of Nisdi Rural Municipality-7, Jamire, "If the government is more thoughtful, they can be returned to Nepal."
