Essayist, poet, lyricist and Chancellor of Nepal Pragya Pratishthan Bhupal Rai's collection of essays 'Shabd Sayarem' has been published.
Authors Khagendra Sangraula, Dr. Gopal Thakur, Dumbar Chemjong, Bhogiraj Chamling and Kumari Lama launched the book.
dr. Dumbar Chemjong said that Bhupal Rai's essay will be important in social history and development. He said, 'Bhupal Rai's essay has a strong stand on memory of ancestors, historicity of life and ideology.' Gopal Thakur, president of
Language Commission, said that Bhupal Rai's essay discusses community ideas and social epochal consciousness. He said that he took the essay titled 'Where is your home from?' as a sign of oppression by non-Madhesi on the Madhesi community. He discussed the book as an image of the situation of having to be an Nepalese within Nepal due to language.
Bhogiraj Chamling said that the essay 'Where is your mountain home?' describes the entire Nepali society. "Bhupal Rai's writing style should be compared to the excellence of Kirati's Sakela dance," he said.
Author Khagendra Sangraula said that the rebellious idea of questioning the dictator while uprooting the foundation of civilization development is in Bhupal Rai's Nimbandha. "The questions raised by the author on Columbus and Prithvi Narayan Shah raise a plurality", said Sangraula.
writer Kumari Lama said that Bhupal Rai's collection of essays is a compelling document of ideology. "Raithane's knowledge system, environment and way of life will inspire the next generation and help in building ideology", she said. Bhupal Rai, the author of
'Shabd Sayarem', expressed his gratitude by speaking about the sound and ideological environment of essay writing. The price of the book published by
Bookhill is Rs 800 for a thick cover and Rs 600 for a thin cover.
