Descripción

The very first episode of The Bookish Universe is all about me. 😬 In this episode, I talk about where, when and how I started reading books.. what motifs did I have, what mischiefs I committed, and what kinds of knowledge I gained from reading books, coming from a very remote rural village with no electricity and libraries whatsoever. Moreover, you will also get a glimpse of what to expect in upcoming episodes. KEEP READING!! 🧡🧡

MAKE BOOKS TAX FREE

TAXATION ON BOOKS : EXPLAINED  In this episode, I and my friend have talked all the necessary aspects about the tax imposed on books by the Nepal government. You will also get a glimpse of what exactly is the current situation with respect to the past, and what kind of impacts this will bring out in the society. I have also covered the opinions of famous personalities such as Ex-primeminister Dr Baburam Bhattarai to the most loved writers such as Nayanraj Pandey and Aanbika Giri, who have stood in solidarity and participated actively in the #MakeBooksTaxFree campaign.  I have used these clips from the social media page called https://twitter.com/makebooktaxfree. In Pokhara, this campaign is actively and consistently supported by https://twitter.com/whatthebookclub. The articles which helped me in the research of this topic are : https://kathmandupost.com/opinion/2019/06/23/needed-a-free-flow-of-books?fbclid=IwAR0mpMy0suBtfz_jSlLmeQH4L61UM4kkmK1pUrsiRu8PTyV05wTfuOrl9mQ , https://thehimalayantimes.com/nepal/books-to-cost-more/ , https://kathmandupost.com/books/2020/01/30/bookstore-s-decision-to-halt-imports-places-attention-once-again-on-taxes-on-books , https://myrepublica.nagariknetwork.com/amp/customs-duty-on-books-causes-scarcity-increases-piracy/#click=https://t.co/Q0JIjvzN96 , and https://www.nayapatrikadaily.com/news-details/37305/2020-02-27 Poem at the end by Darshana Chand - https://www.instagram.com/dizzana_chand/ and Smriti Shrestha - https://www.instagram.com/konegin_/  I sincerely hope and wish that our Finance Minister along with the government takes notice of the oversight ASAP. For the next episode,I have an interesting story of a bibliophile. Until then, KEEP READING!! 💚💚 Feedbacks at thebookishuniverse@gmail.com.
