Ramesh Bikal
Rameshwor Sharma Chalise better known as Ramesh Bikal is a Nepalese writer and painter who is known for his works portraying rural life and the lives of common people in Nepal.
He received a B.Ed. in 1960, and worked in education. His early stories had socialist and anti-establishment themes. As a result, he was imprisoned three times between 1949 and 1960. In more recent work, he has focused on sexual relations.
Bikal was the first short story writer to be given the Madan Puraskar award. He received the Daulat Bikram Bista Aakhyan Samman Award in 2008 for six decades of contributions to fiction writing in Nepal.
In tribute to his memory, Ramesh Vikal Literary Foundation has been established at Arubari, Gokarneshwor.Works
