This volume focuses on select contributions made to the Nepali periodical Chandrika, published from Kurseong/Darjeeling, India, from 1918 to 1919. Edited by Paras Mani Pradhan, Chandrika is a significant work in understanding the development of Nepali language and Nepali identity. This volume presents articles on Nepali language, literature, education and identity along with critical essays that facilitate the entry of periodical studies, especially Nepali periodicals, into the curricula of humanities departments of universities in India and abroad.
Chandrika also reflects a time when the Indian national consciousness was forming, alongside a consciousness of an Indian-Nepali identity. The writings give an invaluable insight into the intellectual and shared common temper and discourse on the subjects of language, education, progress and society from the borderlands of pre-independence India. The volume will be important in raising awareness about the social-cultural, political concerns of the time and also helping readers connect this historical work with the more recent developments in regional literature and identity.
Part of the Voices from the Margins series, this critical edition will be of interest to students and researchers of comparative literature, Nepali, translation studies, journalism, periodical studies, South Asian literature and culture, modern Indian literature, culture, history, and sociology.
