Bhupi Sherchan

Bhupi Sherchan (Bhupendra Man Sherchan) is one of the most popular poets in Nepal.

He was born in 1993 BS and died in 2046 BS. His famous works include, Ghumne Mech Mathi Andho Manche, Sahid Ko Samjhana, Main Batti Ko Sikha, Ghantaghar, Hami, etc.

Bhupi Sherchan was the first free style poet in Nepali literature. He has analyzed humans and human life in different ways but his biggest contribution to Nepalese society is that he has tried to show the way to the new generation through his numerous poems. He was a fierce nationalist and loved his country and countrymen above all else. His down to earth rationalism can be seen in his classic poem "Hami" where he claimed that we Nepalese are brave but foolish and because we are brave we are foolish. His intense love for the nation and the goodwill of the nation can be seen in his odes to the martyrs of Nepal. Bhupi Sherchan was awarded the Sajha Puraskar in 2026 B.S.
