Dear friends, We are inviting you for *an informal discussion with Com. Ninu Chapagain on the literary-cultural-political scenario of Nepal*. Ninu has been holding important responsibilities in the political movement of Nepal, and he is one of the most prominent figures of Nepal's literary and cultural movement as well.
One of Nepal’s senior-most Marxist literary critics, Ninu Chapagain has served at different times as Treasurer, General Secretary and President of the Progressive Writers’ Association, an organisation that provides a common platform for anti-imperialist writers and critics. He has also served as President of both the Progressive Cultural Association and Indreni Cultural Society. Author of many books and articles, he is also editor of Vedana, a quarterly journal of criticism and original progressive literature, adviser to Jana Ekta, a weekly newspaper, and other left publications. Active in Nepal’s communist movement for nearly forty years, Ninu Chapagain has also held a variety of senior party posts. A former General Secretary of United People’s Front (1991-93), he is currently a member of the Politburo of the Unified Nepal Communist Party (Maoist) and heads the cultural department of the party. Nepali society is in the process of a radical transformation and all of us have been keenly watching the resultant political-social-cultural turmoil. The irony is that most of the time we have to depend on secondary and tertiary sources for information about Nepal. We believe we can have an interesting and fruitful discussion with Ninu on a range of subjects and questions about Nepalese revolution, politics, literature and culture. Please do come. Revolutionary Salute, Sandeep *Date and Venue * *18 November, 2009; 5 PM* *Hindi Bhavan, Vishnu Digambar Marg (near ITO), New Delhi* _______________________________________________ Marxist-Leninist-List mailing list Marxist-Leninist-List@lists.econ.utah.edu To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/marxist-leninist-list
