Abstract
The present dissertation makes a comparative study of representation of
nationalism and ethnicity in Bishweshwar Prasad Koirala'sSumnimaand Hridaya
Chandra Singh Pradhan'sIn the Battle of Kirtipur.These literary texts present the
relationship of conflict between nationalism and ethnicity. The reason of conflict is
either to preserve the prehistoric identities or to possess power. In construction and
representation of nationalism and ethnicity, Koirala gives emphasis on their religious
aspects while Pradhan focuses on historical and political aspects.
