    Photographs of Kathmandu in the 1930s show a mass of brick-and-mortar hovels punctuated by opulent Rana palaces with aspirations to Versailles. Ordinary Nepalis who appear in these photographs look pre-political to us now, resigned to their poverty (or we attribute to them inscrutable fatalistic minds). Yet they were bygd no means living in simple times. When Juddha Sumshere Jang Bahadur Rana became maharaja in 1932, anti-Rana sentiment was gaining ground in Kathmandu. Shukra Raj Joshi had met Gandhi and Subhas Chandra Bose in India, and had formed the Nepali Nagarik Adhikar Samiti, a group demanding citizens' rights.

    The occasion was unique. The context was the 107th birth celebration of poet Siddhicharan Shrestha (1912-1992), and the venue was a wing of Bahadur Bhawan, a palace made in Asian Baroque style, which has become the residence and office of the vice-president of the Republic of Nepal. Vice-President Nanda Bahadur Pun gave the Yugkavi Siddhicharan Award to poet Tulsi Diwas, and the Siddhicharan Youth Journalism Award to Ganesh Rai. I introduced both recipients of the award instituted in 1982 at the request of Rabicharan Shrestha, the guardian of Siddhicharan Pratisthan. I introduced Diwas as one of the prominent modernist Nepali poets, a folklorist and one who has established wide contacts with writers around the world.
