Makaiko Kheti

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.

[1] Anyone who was caught publishing or printing a document without permission was fined 50 Nepalese rupees; if the work contained anything that was deemed offensive to the Rana dynasty, all of the copies were to be seized by the Samiti and usually destroyed.

[1] Krishna Lal Adhikari had received permission from the Samiti prior to the book's release.

[6] In the book, Adhikari detailed how to increase yield and protect the crop from termites;[7] however, Makaiko Kheti contained many double entendres.

Two pundits – Ramhari Adhikari and Bhojraj Kafle – reported to Prime Minister Chandra Shumsher Jang Bahadur Rana about the book, blaming the author for "mischievous expressions to treason".

Timothy Aryal of The Kathmandu Post called it "compelling and genuine" theatre work.

[26] AD Ramadi published a book to make the Nepali people aware of the event.

[28] KP Sharma Oli, the Prime Minister of Nepal, recognized Krishna Lal Adhikari as one of the martyrs who helped end the authoritarian government.

[29] Nepali magazine SpotlightNepal claimed that Makaiko Kheti is still remembered for being the book about foreshadowing socio-political change.
