the role played by MAHA Jodi on the various political movements and awareness

Haribamsa
Acharya was born more than 50 years back in Kathmandu valley in a middle class
family. He lost is parents in his early childhood and lived with his elder
sisters. Although the academic performance in his school was not good enough,
he had collected an extra ordinary ability to make others laugh. After he
failed to pass SLC for three consecutive years, he started to work on his
abilities. He joined Nepalese Rangamanch temporarily and acted on the stage to
earn money. He loved it so much because, he was earning with his capabilities.
At the same time, he won best performance award for three consecutive years of
Rastriya Nach Ghar. In the mean time, he got the chance to meet other extra
ordinary partner Madan Krishna Shrestha and started to work together. They
established a firm called Maha Sanchar from where, they produced different
telefilms, documentary and stage shows.
During
the Panchyat regime, Maha used to speak the words of Nepalese people with the
help of their play in different stages inside and outside the country. Their
role in different political moments was incredible. They always showed the
presence toward multi party democracy and for the betterment of Nepalese people
in the political moment 2047 and 2062/63. Till now they have a warm relation
with the top political leaders of the country. Yet, Haribamsa is not satisfied
with the role played by them. He has a great dissatisfaction with the greed
nature of leaders. He has repeated many times that the country need a visionary
leader who has got the ability to suppress his personal interest for the nation
( as if BP Koirala, Madan Bhandari and Krishna Prasad Bhandari.
The
book is full of the tragedy story of untimely demise of his beloved spouce Mira
whom he used to love too much. Mira was RJ by her profession. They joined 26
years long marriage life together and was compelled to separate due to the
demise of Mira. This incident made a big black spot on the Haribamsa’s mind
which made him subtle, weak, enclosed and towards the path of depression. So,
with the valuable suggestion of his sons, co worker Madan Krishna and doctors,
he reached a decision to get married. And luckily, he found a single woman
called Ramila as his partner for the rest of his life.
The
book China Harayeko Manche is not only the story of Hari Bamsha Acharya and his
life. We can earn a lot of insights from this book. The incidents in his life
and presentation of the story are combined in such a way that, it touches every
ones heart. There is not a single line where you get boredom of. So I strongly
recommend you read the one of the most beautiful book I have read “China
Harayeko Manche”.
