Daulat Bikram Bista (Nepali:दौलत विक्रम विष्ठ) was a writer and poet of Nepali literature. He was born on 9 October 1925 (6 Ashoj 1983 B.S.) in Bhojpur and died on 1 January 2002. His writing dealt with social issues, mainly the exploitation and discrimination of the poor and downtrodden.[citation needed]
Early life and education
[edit]Bista was born as the first son to father Somraj Bista and mother Man Kumari Bista. His ancestral house was in Lamjung but his father had migrated to Kathmandu before he was born to get a government job. Bista was born in Bhojpur district due to his father's transfer there. His family lived in various cities during his upbringing as his father travelled often for work. Bista's mother died in 1996, after which his father remarried.[1]
Due to the travelling nature of his father's job, Bista studied in various schools in different parts of Nepal. He studied at Gurukul in Salyan, Goswara Munsi in Jhapa, government schools in Jhapa, and Durbar High School in Kathmandu.[citation needed]
He completed high school in 2004 BS (1947-1948) and received his B.A. and B.Ed. from Tribhuwan University. He also completed his master's degree at Aligarh University in India as a private student.[1]
Works
[edit]His first novel Manjari was published in 2015 BS (1958-1959). It is a social novel based on the changes brought by the 1951 revolution. Manjari reveals the social and cultural outlook and practices of that time.[2]
His second novel Ek Paluwa Anekau Yam is fiction and considered to have more of a novel quality.
The Bhok ra Bhittaharu, published in 2038 BS, is considered to be a mixture of comedy, sentiment, emotion and the relationship of father and daughter.[3]
