Parijat

Bishnu Kumari Waiba, known as Parijat, was born on 16 September 1937 in Darjeeling, India, and settled in Kathmandu in 1954, at the age of seventeen. An illness left her almost paralysed at around the age of twenty-seven, and her sister cared for her all her life. A left-wing activist, she became involved in progressive writers' associations, in the defence of women and in aid for prisoners. She published poems, short stories and about ten novels, and died in Kathmandu on 4 December 1993, at the age of fifty-six.
