About the Book
Breaking Nepal, the latest book on defensive nationalism, makes no effort to disguise this. Co-edited by writers Sujit Mainali and Saurav, the compilation has an ambitious thesis: An overwhelming majority of Western scholars of Nepal have intentionally, or sometimes inadvertently, misrepresented the country’s history and society.
It contains a series of excerpts, occasionally punctuated by telling tales of outrageous comments made by foreign writers on Nepal. The read gives an idea of how sweeping remarks and blatant lies marketed as facts are readily lapped up by the naïve and the prejudiced as sources of substance.
