Dimensions of Socialism of Literary Thinker and Seeker BP

Bishweshwar Prasad Koirala (BP) is a modern thinker of political, social and literary history of Nepal. His thinking was full of nationalism and intellectualism. It was guided by human values ​​and values. BP Koirala has completed 109 years since he entered this earth.

A literary thinker and seeker, BP believes in anarchist writing. In his own words, he is an anarchist writer. These are not anarchist and anarchist writers in the usual sense that dictionaries derive and explain. The writer is a supporter of the purely technical freedom of the artist expressed by the word ‘anarchy’. One and a half dozen works of Koirala, the pioneer of psychological realism in Nepali literature, have been published. Six of his novels have been published namely ‘Tin Ghumti’, ‘Modi Ain’, ‘Hitler and Jew’, ‘Sumnima’, ‘Narendradai’ and ‘Babu, Ama and Son’. Similarly, two collections of stories ‘Shwet Bhairavi’ and ‘Doshi Chashma’, edited by Hariprasad Sharma, ‘Bishweshwar Prasad Koiralaka Katha var Kavita’, have been published.

BP led the revolution of seven years (2007) proclaiming that no one can be a ruler by birth forever. For a country like Nepal, he was of the mindset that democracy alone cannot do the good of the people. The abolition of zamindari and mercantile system, the nationalization of forests, the initiation of rural development plans, the expansion of the transport system, and the reform of the right to mohi and the land system were not only the foundations of economic development and modernity, but the cornerstones of socialism. were also

After leading the Congress for a long time, Koirala became the first elected Prime Minister after the party won two-thirds majority in the 2015 general elections and provided political leadership for the establishment of nationalism, democracy and socialism in Nepal. He carried forward the land reform program of abolition of birta and ‘land should be plowed’.

After the Nepali Congress came to power in 2016, BP Koirala’s government seems to have introduced socialist policies and programs in a short period of 18 months with limited financial and human resources. Abolition of landlordism and mercantile system, nationalization of forests, initiation of rural development plan, expansion of transport system and improvement of mohi rights and land system were not only the foundations of economic development and modernity, but also the cornerstones of socialism.

Koirala, who was released from prison in 2025 for a medical examination, lived in exile in India for eight years. After analyzing that the nationalism was weakened while in exile in India and fighting for the restoration of democracy, he returned to his country with the policy of national unity and reconciliation on 16 January 2033 regardless of the eight death cases. The policy of reconciliation adopted by him is equally relevant in the country’s politics even today.

BP inspired to make a plan for the welfare of the farmers in the agricultural country. All the efforts of BP are seen for the means and resources to make all the farmers middle class like themselves. BP’s goal of honoring the agricultural profession is the true character of Nepali socialism, but when agriculture collapses, the country that exports food grains has now become dependent on food imports.

BP seems to respect individual energy, rights and creativity when talking about socialism. It is clear that people have given priority to the thought that they must put a stop to the system of becoming very rich by over-exploiting other people and natural resources and means. Common citizens are burdened with taxes upon taxes, those who have to pay more taxes are evading them. Income, production, investment and employment are falling. There is a world of middlemen and brokers.

Decades have passed since the establishment and restoration of democracy in the country, but there has been no improvement in the standard of living of Nepali people. Therefore, today it seems desirable to explore the path shown by BP in the socialist thought of the Nepali environment and adopt the economic and political path instead of external imitation.
