ITAHARI: FEB. 4 – Author duo Arjunbabu Mabuhang and Amit Thebe have come up with a research-based book on writings of Srijanga, Phalgunanda and Iman Singh Chemjong.
Recently published by UK-based Siddha Kumari Thebe, the 214-page volume will be formally launched today at Hotel Star Purbi of Dharan.
The launching ceremony is hosted by Tangsing Media and Research Private Limited, informed Amit Thebe, one of the authors of the book. ”It is a decade of rigorous research works”, remarked authors. They said they had extensively travelled to districts of East Nepal and various parts of the Sikkim state of India where Limbu heritages are rooted.
Authors have published glossy pictures of their field visits to the Limbu heartlands in both Nepal and India (Sikkim). The book is published in two languages, Yakthung Sirijanga and Nepali script. They have placed the original script, have transcribed it into Nepali and described its contexts.
Sirijanga is the pioneer of Yakthung script, which is the official ethnic script of Yakthung Limbu folks all over the world.
Phalgunanda is the national luminary of Nepal who also widely used the Yakthung Sirijanga script in his social campaigns.
Iman Singh Chemjong is the first noted and widely known scholar and historian of Kirati language, tradition and the like.
