One Sentence Summary: A research note on protest poetry in Nepali literature.

Description: A research note on protest poetry in Nepali literature. The author writes that protest poetry in Nepali literature has come a long way from Balak baburo by Lekhnath Paudel up to 2051 B.S. (time period accomodated in research). The article starts with the verses of Kahlil Gibran which serve to inspire people to fight for their freedom. Protest poets throughout the world have always been the nation's voice of conscience. The article discusses the role played by protest poems to topple dictators, to change political systems, and for campaining for rights and freedom. In world literature, Lorca, Iqbal, Kahlil Gibran, Stephan, etc., are renowned as protest poets. In Nepali literature, Lekhnath Poudel, Gopal Prasad Rimal, Laxmi Prasad Devkota, Kedar Man Vyathit, Siddhi Charan Shrestha, Bhupi Sherchan, Kali Prasad Rijal, Chhetra Pratap Adhikari, Gopal Yonzon, etc., are writing poems against discrimination, oppression, and exploitation of many kinds. The article also includes the verses of many poems translated into English. (Rajeev Ranjan Singh 2006-10-15)
