Khagendra Sangroula On Tradition and Change Best known for his penetrating social criticism, Khagendra Sangroula is an independent leftist whose writings are deeply concerned with the social and political upheavals of our times. His most poignant stories and essays focus on the hard fact of exploitation, and on the difficulty of attaining justice. Sangroula often treads where few Nepali writers dare to venture: far into the remote hinterlands of the country. In his recent novel Junkiriko Sangeet he tackles caste discrimination head-on, examining the economic, social and personal devastation it wreaks in rural Dalit communities. more about him on : http://www.nepalitimes.com
