Works

1.

(a) Bandaframebhitrako Chithi (Novel) – Published in 2000 (2057 B.S.) from Saudi Arabia

This is a tragic social novel based on a real-life incident of an asexual male from Chitwan.

Bandaframebhitrako Chithi is a social novel that artistically presents mental states, inner conflicts, and the bitter relationship between society and asexual identity. Suggestion, silence, and psychological depth dominate the novel’s aesthetic framework. The concept of an “unseen face” in the cover design aligns with the author’s artistic vision—where readers engage not with the character’s face, but with their inner world.

(b) Haraeka Chhoraharu (Poetry Collection) – Published in 2020 (2077 B.S.)

(BN Pustak Bhandar)

A powerful collection of 55 contemporary symbolic poems, written with a strong emphasis on imagery and metaphor.

(c) Deshko China (Epigram Collection) – Published in 2020 (2077 B.S.)

(BN Pustak Bhandar)

A compelling compilation of epigrams composed in response to a nation’s failure to find an expected way forward, metaphorically suggesting the rewriting of the nation’s destiny.

(d) Yaadaka Bastiharu (Song Collection) – Published in 2021 (2078 B.S.)

(Pushparag Sahitya Pratisthan)

A deeply moving lyrical collection, where memories are gathered like flowers and woven into garlands of songs with emotional delicacy.

(e) Firdosko Sancho (Short Story Collection) – Published in 2025 (2082 B.S.)

(Indigo Ink)

Firdosko Sancho is his acclaimed short story collection comprising ten stories. These narratives span multiple layers of life—from marginalized voices to intimate inner struggles. The language is restrained, symbolic, and sensitive. Themes such as social injustice, memory, love, displacement, identity, and moral conflict are vividly present. Due to his deep study and research, Rajbabu Shrestha Sagar has established himself as the first and only writer to extensively engage with Islamic mythological themes in Nepali literature. The book was officially launched on Baisakh 5 (Friday) and has since received notable discussion and positive responses within the literary circle.

Research and Historical Interests

Rajbabu Shrestha Sagar is actively engaged in research-based efforts to write a novel centered on historical figures such as Savitribai Phule. His approach involves in-depth exploration of facts, contexts, social history, and ideological backgrounds. He regards research not as the opposite of creativity, but as the backbone of creation itself.

Translation Work

He is also a serious and sincere translator. While translating historical texts, he prioritizes linguistic fidelity, contextual accuracy, and cultural sensitivity. For him, translation is not merely a bridge between languages, but a dialogue between ideas and cultures.

Linguistic and Cultural Plurality

Showing interest in figures such as Upendra Das, an advocate of the Magahi language, he remains conscious of the relationships and possibilities between Nepali and Magahi languages. Respect for linguistic plurality, translation, and regional literature forms a key part of his ideological identity.

Future Writing Plans

He is planning to write a novel based on research into sensitive subjects such as Hypersexual Disorder and Satyriasis (male sexual addiction). This intention reflects his literary courage, social responsibility, and deep interest in psychological study.

Readers and Literary Responsibility

Rajbabu Shrestha Sagar believes in dialogue with readers. He considers reader feedback, criticism, and debate as essential components of literary refinement. For him, literature is not a “finished product” but a continuous journey of revision and rethinking.

Conclusion

His presence across poetry, short stories, novels, translation, and research has enriched contemporary Nepali literature with intellectual depth and human warmth. Clear indications suggest that his literary journey will become even more powerful, courageous, and multidimensional in the future.
