There has been a discussion in Hetauda about the third work of writer and journalist Basanta Parajuli, Bakhan.
The Federation of Nepali Journalists, Makawanpur, organized a discussion on the content and various aspects of the historical novel Bakhan on Friday.
Writer and journalist Dr. Nimesh Nikhil reviewed various aspects of the book. Discussing the book, Nikhil said that the historical novel was written using simple and descriptive and descriptive language, based on the biography of the historical character Bakhan Singh Gurung and related to it.
He said that the author has the specialty of using people and references in depth to reach the inner level of a subject and context.
Bakhan Singh is the person who led the settlement in Chitwan and established the first cooperative Bakhan Loan Cooperative Society in Nepal in Chitwan. He is also a warrior of the People's Revolution of 2007 BS.
He left his job as a captain in the Royal Army and joined the anti-Rana revolution, losing two sons during the revolution.
Reviewer Nikhil says that the novel is brought to life by the interesting depiction of various struggling moments in Gurung's life.
The story of Chitrasen Baba's temple, the story of Someshwor Gadhi and the temple there, the reference to Upardang Gadhi, the story of the antiquity of Devghat, the establishment of Chitwan National Park, and the brutal story of hunting wild animals here by the royal family and foreigners in the name of hunting are included in the novel in a research-based manner, according to Nikhil's analysis.
The anti-Rana people's revolution of 2007, the coup carried out by King Mahendra in 2017, the subsequent rebellion led by the Nepali Congress, the context of the time from Pulimrang to Bandipur, and the early days of settlement development in Chitwan are artistically woven, making the novel interesting, Nikhil says.
Makawanpur Chief District Officer Basanta Adhikari said that novelist Parajuli has tried to introduce his district Chitwan and the special places and historical references here through the novel.
He argues that the novel has become readable and collectible for everyone, from cooperative workers to politicians.
