BP Koirala always told us: ‘You are lazy about reading’

Writer Dharma Gautam recalls Koirala’s influence on his reading, writing, and political thinking—and the memories behind his new book ‘BP Ra Bidrohka Ti Din’.

Dharma Gautam is a writer and political observer who was part of Nepal’s political movement during the Panchayat era, fighting for a multiparty system and advocating for civilians’ rights. He spent time in exile in India, where he began to read extensively and study journalism.
