Regmi D.R. Ancient and Medieval Nepal

Kathmandu, Nepal, 1952. — 178 p.A draft manuscript of this Ancient and Medieval History of Nepal was prepared in early 1942 after a three year research into varied materials, most of them absolutely original. This, however, could not see the light of publication at the time, as subsequently after it fell into the hands of the Indian C. I. D., when the author himself was arrested and detained for extradition to Nepal. Even after the release the publication had been ordered by numerous other factors particularly the illness of the author and later on his preoccupation with the political movement in Nepal. Also the portions of the manuscript on Medieval Nepal was lost from the custody of the police, which necessitated rewriting and partly in its turn contributed to complicate the question of publication.
So far any history of Nepal, and there are very few of them, happened to be written by foreigners whose idea of the country could not at all be intimate. The special feature of the present book is that this is written by a son or Nepal born and bred up in Nepalese soil, and the writer’s long and intimate association with the country is visible to careful readers as far as mistakes readily committed by alien scholars and wrong reading of the data and interpretation based theron have been corrected.Introductory.
