Navigating global forces: Multinational capitalism and multiculturalism in Manjushree Thapa’s all of us in our own lives

Abstract

Nepali writing in English experienced a surge in popularity after the 1990s, following the establishment of a multi-party system in Nepal. Thapa is one of the prominent Nepali writers who took Nepali English writing to a global audience. Her novel all of us in our own lives (2016) highlights the position and status of Nepali democratic society in a globalized world. As Nepal is exposed to globalisation post-1990s and a large population of the country is migrants, Thapa’s novel shows how these individuals deal with their identity in a multicultural world. The book examines the flow of international funds and foreign aid in Nepal. The study will explore the impact of globalization and multiculturalism on Nations and their citizens, addressing the prospects and shortcomings associated with these phenomena.
