Dekheko Muluk
By Kanak Mani DixitRs. 300
Dekheko Muluk (The Country Witnessed) is a personalised examination by journalist Kanak Mani Dixit of the violence and political turmoil that overtook Nepal in the last decade.
Utilising anecdotal information and his involvement in events of the recent past, Dixit takes a stand on controversial issues that include the cost-benefit of the Maoist ‘people’s war’, the royal palace massacre, the formula for federalism, identity politics, and so on.
Speaking up for pluralism and non-violence, the author resolutely calls himself a ‘partybaadi’ and defends the parliamentary political parties despite their obvious foibles.
Dixit points an accusing finger at the intellectuals and civil society leadership in Kathmandu for succumbing to populism and demagougery.
