Bhupi Sherchan

Bhupi Sherchan was born in Thak Khola, in the Mustang district, in 1935 or 1937 depending on the sources, into a Thakali family enriched by trade. Sent to study in Benares, he came close to the communists. Back in Nepal, he sat in the Royal Academy from 1979 until his death. His output is slim, one play and a few collections, but he is regarded as the Nepali poet who has been most successful in free verse. He died on 14 May 1989 in Kathmandu, of a lung disease.
