Natural Expressions Bal Dev Sharma Majgaiya expresses a poet's innermost feelings on different facets of life and nature By A CORRESPONDENT Baldev Sharma Majgaiya has established himself as a man of vision and powerful expression in modern Nepali poetry.
He has written verse in various styles. One of the basic characteristics of Majgaiya's poetry is its firm grasp of social reality. Although he is a full-time politician - an elected member of the House of Representatives and a minister of state - Majgaiya spends his free time writing about such things as nature's beauty and the distortions of society. In one of his poems, he criticizes the role of politicians, saying they spend more time on preaching various issues rather than on working to solve them. Majgaiya is among few Nepalese individuals who have established themselves in both politics and literature. Like his leader B.P. Koirala, Majgaiya has a certain quality in expressing his inner feelings. From life to death and social reality to the beauty of the natural splendor, Majgaiya has given form to emotions through his words. Born in Dang, in the mid-western region, Majgaiya played a very active role in the struggle against the partyless Panchayat system. He powerfully expresses his feelings for his birthplace in his works. In a poem dedicated to B.P. Koirala, Majgaiya describes him as a man of courage, who spent all his life for the cause of democracy. Majgaiya describes B.P. as a nationalist leader who will be remembered forever. In another piece, Majgaiya expresses frustration over the pollution that has gripped Kathmandu valley. As a city of countless gods and deities, Majgaiya sees Kathmandu as an ancient place of rich heritage that everyone should preserve. Majgaiya praises the natural beauty of Nepal and its historical pride in a piece titled "My Country". The poem also reflects the depth of patriotism in his heart. The poet compares his birthplace Dang Deukhuri, perched between the Mahabharat range in the north and the Chure to the south, with heaven He also writes on the mystery of the origin of Dang valley. Belpatra High Inequality Ethnicity and the plight of the oppressed class are popular themes among Nepalese intellectuals. This book highlights different facets of the situation of the oppressed class, including their social status in the context of Nepalese society. Interestingly, Brahmins still lead the process of social reform in the terai and hills. A terai Brahmin himself, Dr. Jha comes out with important issues of discrimination against the community. The book highlights the plight of the large segment of the oppressed class that continues to be deprived of its right to equality.
The book, which is based on articles presented at seminars organized by the Center for Economic and Technical Studies, provides a historical perspective of the oppressed class. Whether in the terai or in the hills, Nepalese society has evolved through the tenets and structures of Hinduism. According to the Manu Smriti, society is divided into two classes, "touchables" and "untouchables". The class division is based on the profession of the individual. Although Dr. Jha tries to make a distinction between the "untouchables" of the terai and the hills, he has not been able to show any significant differences in the way they are treated in those regions.
