Agni (अग्नि)

समकालीन नेपाली साहित्यका प्रतिनिधि कवि तथा गीतकार र नेपाली सञ्चार क्षेत्रका अग्रणी व्यक्ति हुन्, डा. नवराज लम्साल । रेडियो नेपाल तथा बीबीसी नेपाली सेवासँग जोडिएको उनको लामो इतिहास छ । साहित्यकार हुनुको शिल्पले सञ्चारको क्षेत्रमा उनको उपस्थितिलाई जति अर्थपूर्ण र बहुविध बनाएको छ, सञ्चारको ज्ञान र शिल्पले साहित्य लेखनमा पनि त्यति नै तीव्र आलोचनात्मक चेत बढाएको पाइन्छ । निकै सुस्त र सेलाउनै लागेजस्तो नेपाली महाकाव्य विधालाई चलायमान बनाउने उनको यो योगदानलाई बौद्धिक, तार्किक र वस्तुनिष्ठ मानिन्छ ।

Going back in the history of Nepal, the book deals with the story of King Shah Prithvi Narayan Shah and the Sen Kings of Nepal who allegedly tried to end discrimination. It also talks about how power can be used to harm marginalized people and also advises social reforms and the emancipation of marginalized people. It is an epic that captures the plight and suffering of marginalized people in Nepal. Revolving around the issues of caste discrimination and untouchability that are common in Nepali society, the writer used prose as a technique to portray the experiences of several members of the marginalized people in Nepal.
