All stories are unique in their own way, and every story is inspired by a different scenario. However, the theme that binds all the stories together is the hardship and struggle of the Nepali people. Our society has gone through various changes over the last few decades. This book is an effort to put light on that evolution and how it has changed lives of the people across the country. https://kathmandupost.com/miscellaneous/2017/09/16/flogging-a-dead-horse The Kathmandu Post en 2017-09-16T11:52:12+05:45 Flogging a dead horse What space do the historically deprived, culturally marginalised communities occupy in Nepali society, where individual life and cultural practices are being sacrificed at the altar of the privileged?
