Introduction and review by Prof. Bal Krishna Pokhrel and Dr. Govind Raj Bhattarai.

आशीर्वचनः प्रा. बालकृष्ण पोखरेल

नेपाली साहित्यमा एक स्थापित हस्ताक्षरको नाम हो नवराज सुब्बा। लेखनलाई साँच्चै फलदायी बनाउने हो भने साधकले ओथारे अवधिमा अदेखा रहन सक्नुपर्छ भन्ने सत्यमा विश्वास राख्ने नवराज भाइको यस सङ्ग्रहमा सँगालिएका कविताहरू उहाँले विक्रम संवत् २०६३ को अन्तरालमा ओथारो बसेर कोरलेका काव्यिक फाँटका ७६ चल्लाहरू हुन्। बीच बाटोमा ब्यूँझेरबाट थालिएर गालीसराप बगाओँमा पुगी समापिने यस काव्यिक पाइतोमा हामीले अचेल भोग्दै आएका राजनीतिक, सामाजिक, आर्थिक, राष्ट्रिय आदि समस्याहरूलाई एक मानवतावादी कविका चस्माले हेर्नुभएको छ ।
कवि सुब्बाका अर्थवह, प्रतीकवह र भावोद्वेलक कृतिहरू आजको अस्मिताबोधका उमेरगत, इलाकागत, वर्गगत, धर्मगत, स्तरगत एवम् लिङ्गगत बहीखाताका आकर्षक नमुना बनेका छन् । अतीत, विभाजित समय, पाइला आदि शीर्षकका कविताहरूमा कविले विभिन्न प्रतीक प्रयोग गरेका छन् । अर्को शीर्षकको कविता घाममा कविले देशप्रेमलाई घामसँग र जनतालाई जूनतारासँग दाँजेका छन् । देशलाई उनले उमेर सकिएको बूढासँग दाँजेका छन् । उमेर सकिएको बूढो ९२५० वर्ष पुग्नै लागेको १ ० को भरमा आफू बाँच्नु सम्भव नदेखेर नेपालीहरू सधैँका लागि नेपाल छोडेर लाखौँका सङ्ख्यामा सात समुन्द्रपारि जाँदैछन् । यस गम्भीर भावलाई उनले चन्द्र र सूर्यको अस्त भनी प्रतीक्याएका छन् । तर सूर्यास्त चाहिँ भएको छैन । भन्नाले नेपालमा देशप्रेम अझ छ । क्या मार्मिक छ कविको अनुभूति?

The Vision of a Humanist Poet

Key Themes:

  • Identity struggles
  • Patriotism and migration
  • Nostalgia for a fading past

Powerful Symbolism in Poems

Subba masterfully uses symbols in his work:

  • The sun represents patriotism.
  • The moon and stars symbolize people’s resilience.
  • Mountains evoke memories of cultural erosion.

In Mero Pahad (My Hills), Subba writes:

“I left my sorrows behind, yet they followed. A mountain now grows in my eyes.”

This verse captures the heartache of migration and the loss of home.


A Nostalgic Journey

Subba’s poems like Aama Ko Tirsana (A Mother’s Yearning) and Arun (The River Arun) explore the longing for a simpler past. His verses remind readers of cultural heritage and the emotional cost of modernization.

  • Kirat Limbu Culture

    Human existence is believed to be incomplete without the enrichment of culture. Some individuals wholeheartedly immerse themselves in their cultural surroundings, while others observe from a distance.

    The ancient Kirat civilization of Nepal predates any religious texts we have. Unfortunately, their profound cultural wisdom has primarily faded, leading to a disheartening void in our understanding of ancient knowledge. The plight of the indigenous communities in the land nurtured by their toil and sacrifice is a cause for concern. Neglecting the valuable contributions of these indigenous communities in the name of progress leaves us incomplete.

    Through a thorough anthropological study of the Kirat Limbu community, we’ve arrived at factual and logical conclusions regarding the questions they’ve raised. This writer endeavors to share this information, driven purely by academic value and recognition.

    Recognizing his responsibility, this writer, in the later stages of life, has felt a sense of urgency in preserving the positivity of research. The book is published to document synthesized knowledge based on trustworthy information and data, thereby sharing it with readers.

    This book has expected to be a valuable resource for those seeking to understand the true essence of Nepali soil, to explore the rich Kirat civilization, its culture, and the intricate tapestry of ethnic issues—best of luck on this enlightening journey.
