Congratulations to Narayan Wagle, But I have read the books and in my view It does not compete for Madan Puraskar (the so called prestigious prize till now). What is in the book? The sequence of presentation is off track and contracting. It is again being proved that here in our country publicity and connection works in each every sector. First of all Who is Narayan Wagle? How many books has he published? What is the quality of stuff being presented in this book? The selection committe has gone for the hot name being made by media i.e. KANTIPUR. or has Madan Purskar Guthi has done a hidden contract with the editor in chief of kantipur for hidden cause. Is this a media power? This has wasted all the history of MADAN PURSKAR since 2013 and and all its formal receivers like Satya Mohan Joshi, Krishna Prasad Parajuli, Ramesh Bikal, Parijat and many more. A book is eligible for a prize after a long process of critical comments and review process. Can anyone name me a single piece of academic review published beside in Kantipur. This is a pure ELITES MAFIA working in Nepal booming their self names by different processes causing illusion to public. Was is the criteria for being nominated for the MADAN PURSKAR. The best literature of the year or the best (most) selling literaure. If it is the second one then NEPALAYA and KANTIPUR should also share the prize. Then why YUDHIR THAPA is being missed. After all he has hit the records of most selling novel in general public without any publicity.
