Read:Contribute: Become Peace Builder
A Nepali proverb says; `River will revert after 12 years’.
Almost same thing happen in my life. I wrote this book right after third week
of war in Jumla. 14 November 2002 was the attack day. There was huge and
destructive war between Maosit insurgency and Nepal Army. I was the first civilian who got chance to
leave the place as a rescue through four sitter helicopter. Likewise, I
might first who back to Jumla with determination, considering
rebirth in Jumla for the sake of cause or Jumla people.
From airport, directly I went to the hospital then back to
the residence by crossing the army sports ground. Near the bridge of Jugad river, in
front of the sports council and Science Academy center, I was stopped while and
thinking of people who were died during that day. Thought, the exact data don’t
know yet, I saw 47 dead bodies in Army Sports ground. But I was kept thinking
about DSP (Deputy Police Officer) Mr. Bijayashor Ghimire whose body was burnt
well. By considering his belt, a piece of it, a burnt piece considered his dead
body and Nepal army brought it to the Kathmandu to his family. That incidence pinched
me very badly. And many questions came to mind; why were people fighting? why
did conflict in such a peaceful country Nepal? Did poor, marginalized groups
get justice? What was the meaning of peace and justice ?..............I thought
I must write for the future generation about the entire experience of war since
day, of course 14 Nov was the main story. In order to do justice, to educate
future and to bring sustain peace and justice, I started to write and finished
within the third day of onset. I was keep on try to publish. I couldn’t make
afford myself due to cost and marketing. The people who from rural, poor, non
political family has really very tough to get connection with pioneer
publisher. In 2013, it was owned by NEPALYA. Thank you Nepalaya.
