Author Yug Pathak’s new book, a collection of essays on Nepal’s history and politics titled Mangena: Nepal Manthan, has been released amid a function held at the premises of Nepal Academy in Kamalpokhari, on Saturday. 

The book includes the author’s take on core contemporary issues in the likes of Nepal’s political history and intellectualism that dominate Nepal’s political-intellectual discourse.

Speaking about the book, Pathak has said, “The book seeks to find an appropriate linguistics to understand the problems of the Nepali society. A couple of questions used to keep coming up while writing the book. The things, texts and interpretations, we read as history-from whose point of view were they written? From the point of view of the kings or general public? Did the history we read help us get a better sense of our society and the problems underlying within? The book seeks answers to these questions.” 

The release function saw author Pathak engage in a conversation with analyst and politician Pradeep Giri. 

Mangena: Nepal Manthan is published by Fineprint.
