Aaja Ramita Chha – Indra Bahadur Rai

Aaja Ramita Chha – Indra Bahadur Rai (bestseller)|Completed in 1958, Indra Bahadur Rai?s only novel was finally published in 1964, at a time when Nepali was still not considered an official language in India. Yet even a cursory reading of Aaja Ramita Chha is enough to convince one that it is as an extraordinarily evolved literary piece, which must necessarily have come at a point of a rare cultural and linguistic flowering of a literary tradition that had Darjeeling at its centre.
