A Concise History of Nepal – Baburam Acharya

As I saw the name of the tallest peak of the Himalaya mountain range written as Mount Everest in the map of Nepal, published by the Survey of India office of Dehradun, India, I felt an immense sense of inferiority, and my mind hurt. In the second edition of the map, the mountain was named Mount Everest and Chomo-langma, but still without a Nepalese name. With a view to rectifying the error, I published a research-based article entitled Sagarmatha Ya Jhyamolongma in the Sharada magazine. But on this, I was accused of “trying to bring an insult to us (the rulers) by giving a Nepalese name to the mountain peak already named after our English friend.” I was nearly banished from the country escaped by a hair’s breadth.
