In the history of Nepal, many people have made some extraordinary contributions to the nation-building process that people will forever remember. To such personalities, the nation bestows upon the title of ‘rashtriya bibhuti’ or ‘national hero’. The national heroes have recently come into the limelight with the government announcing Bhakti Thapa as the 17th national hero of Nepal.
The first announcement regarding the national heroes of Nepal was made by a commission headed by the famous writer Bal Krishna Sama in 1955. Sama was appointed by the then king Mahendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev. The commission in 1955 enlisted the first 13 of the people named below whereas four others have been added in the past 25 years.

Amritsar was born in Lahore. It was born inside the walled city, in a small house, in its narrow winding streets. It was the month of Assu, a month that corresponds with the months of September and October. It was a month when the monsoon rains, having unleashed their fury, had finally taken mercy and receded. The demons of the summer had been defeated, while the tyrant winter was still imprisoned. It was the time of the year of perfect harmony, when nights were balanced by the day, the heat by the cold.
