Translated from English by Mahesh Paudyal, the work is a part of collaborative efforts between the Bangladesh Embassy in Kathmandu and Nepal Academy. The Nepali version has been published by Nepal Academy, which has also taken charge of distributing the work among Nepali readership. According to The Weekly Bangladesh, the Embassy took this initiative to mark Mujib Borsho, the birth centenary of Bangladesh’s Father of the Nation, despite hurdles posed by Covid-19 pandemic. The launching of the book shall be organized as soon as the lock-down arising from the Covid-19 pandemic is eased, sources said.
