Book Name: Empowering Dalits Through Knowledge
Author Name: Eds: Tulsi Ram Pandey , Tika Ram gautam , Madhusudan Subedi

The essays deal with a phenomenon that is at once harsh and cruel and yet enigmatically elusive and persistent. This book deserves a wide readership from among those interested in inequality and social change in Nepal today.

Book Name: Castleford to Kathmandu : Poems in progress...
Author Name: Greta Rana
Price: USD 6
Description:

The author began to put them together in late 2007 out of the scraps of notes she found in Castleford and Kathmandu after her father died. A fair number of the poems are about loss and about conflict. The reason for the title is straightforward.
