Amrita Pritam's ideas were unusual; her paths modern. Her ‘ideal’ was constructive, no destructive.
Like her poems, in her short-stories too she was seen to be giving a ‘message’ to her readers. Her message was one of life and love.

Our op-ed on gendered constructions of nation and nationalism that render women as biological, cultural reproducers but never as citizens in their own right. Pertinent to #Citizenship debate in #Nepal but will anything change? Pessimistic. With @kjhaktm kathmandupost.ekantipur.com/…
