Secular Aesthetics in Bhutanese-Nepali Poems

This research attempts to explore secular aesthetics reflected in Punarwaspachhika Bhutani Nepali Kavita, an anthology of Nepali poems representing post-resettlement Bhutanese-Nepali literature published by Nepal Academy in 2022. Finding secular aesthetics in Bhutanese-Nepali literature is very rare. This qualitative research primarily explores secular aesthetics in the post-resettlement Bhutanese Nepali representative poems. The anthology has been assessed from the notion of hegemony and counter-hegemony and analysed their historicity.
