SILENT VOICE

Description

Silent Voice is a groundbreaking exploration of gender equality and early feminism in
Nepal. Sita Pandey’s fearless voice illuminates the struggles of Nepalese women in a
deeply patriarchal society, resilient despite decades of political upheaval. This essential

work has made Pandey a household name in Nepali literature.
—Yuyutsu Sharma, Himalayan Poet, author of Annapurna Poems

An excellent book… she has delineated the Nepalese people and their approach to
female sex in every aspect of their life… Nepalese society does not treat the females
equally and this unpleasant reality is beautifully described in this creative work. Such
a wonderful literary work is a product of natural talent and Ms. Sita Pandey is indeed a

genius of higher grade.

–Dr. Tara Nath Sharma, legendry Nepalese critic and essayist

Ms. Sita Pandey is a renowned writer in the Nepali language. She is among the few
Nepalese women writers who have made a distinctive mark in the annals of modern
Nepali literature. Sita’s works, particularly her short stories and essays, have challenged
orthodox beliefs and shattered taboos. One of the most widely read and discussed
writers of her time, Sita’s works have been published by leading publishers in the Nepali

language.

— Prakash A. Raj, acclaimed Nepalese travel writer

Ms. Pandey is not only bold but extraordinarily transparent as well. Inquisitive Nepali
readers will continue to cherish Yaun Ra Anubhuti as a milestone in Nepalese literature

for years to come.
— Dr. D. P. Bhandari

It would not be an exaggeration to say that Sita has broken new ground and created
new dimensions in Nepali literature. Her bold and candid writings—especially her short
stories, essays, and reflections—have stirred considerable discussion in Nepal’s literary
scene. Over the years, her literary pursuits have established her as one of the most

eminent, widely read, and discussed female writers in Nepal.
