Makaiko Kheti: Difference between revisions

'''''Makaiko Kheti''''' ({{lang-ne|मकैको खेती|lit=''The Cultivation of Maize''}}) is a 1920 [[lost literary work]] by [[Krishna Lal Adhikari]] (sometimes credited as Subba Krishna Lal Adhikari or Krishnalal Adhikari). Adhikari had been inspired to write a book about [[maize]] cultivation after reading an Indian book that a friend had given him. With permission from Nepali [[Bhasha Prakashini Samiti]], the book was released in July 1920, with 1,000 copies being printed. Detractors accused the book of containing double entendres which purportedly attacked the [[Rana dynasty]] that had ruled over the [[Kingdom of Nepal]] since 1846. Adhikari was sentenced to nine years in prison, where he died.
