Table of Contents Language and Education English Studies Literature, Grammar and Translation Culture and Society Prehistory in Place Names Archaeology and Historiography The Chronicle Texts Religion and the Arts Spanning a period of over 40 years, this collection of essays serves to portray the intellectual depth and evolution of renowned Nepali scholar Kamal P.

This collection of essays re-introduces the reader to the prolific and diverse output of one of Nepal's best-read scholars and finest minds of the second half of the 20th century Mary Martin Booksellers Pte Ltd Nepal - May 2015 1
