In the 1920's, many Nepalis fled poverty hill and Rana rule to seek work in India. No longer fearing British invasion, the Ranas offered land in Chitwan to slow the exodus and relieve population pressure in the hills. But hill dwellers continued to fear Chitwan.

    Lovely cover art. I'm wondering why they fear Chitwan.

    Is this a fiction or non-fiction novel? I'm currently reading a fiction story with Indian culture and there is just so much heartache but beauty too; this one reminded me of a recent lesson we studied here at home for history, the Dutch East India Company.
