Homnath Subedi was born on October 5, 1947,
in Takam Ward No. 7, Dhaulagiri Rural Municipality, Myagdi, Gandaki Province of
Nepal, to Harilal Upadhyaya Subedi and Tulsidevi Subedi. Considering the
opportunities against his life and time, Subedi got his early education locally
since it was not feasible or appropriate to send small children far away from
home in those days.
He started his schooling in 1952 from a
privately-run school at Takam initiated by his father. Later, he studied in
different institutions: a Brahmachari Ashram in Darakhola, under various
well-known scholars. His educational journey took him from the local schools in
Myagdi to the prominent ones in Kathmandu, Mathura, Vrindavan, and Varanasi,
where he passed the traditional Sanskrit and English studies with distinction.
He finished his higher secondary education from Bhopal in 1968.
Personal Life
At the age of nine years, Homnath Subedi
married Nandadevi Paudel, eldest daughter of Jivannath and Amritadevi Paudel.
In 1981, they shifted to Woodbridge, Virginia where this couple reared their
family. His eldest son Purushottam Subedi joined them in the USA in 1988, and
the rest of the family joined in 1989.
Career and Literary Contributions
The contributions of Homnath Subedi to
education and literature stand unparalleled. He began his professional life in
Nepal as a headmaster and, thereafter, remained engaged in various education
and literary activities. He has served at the Nepal Royal Academy, Janak
Education Materials Centre, and the Ministry of Education in various
capacities.
In 1981, Subedi went to the USA to attend a
scriptwriting training course and later settled in Woodbridge, Virginia,
finding work at Best Medical International. While here, his dedication brought
him the Employee of the Month award in May 1993, the Employee of the Year in
1994, and several appreciation plaques in recognition of the number of years
served with the organization.
The major novels by Homnath Subedi include
"Nyauli," "Yampuriko Mahal," "Ratna,"
"Trimurti," "Najar," "Vina,"
"Dyuralai," "Antardaha," "Ankur," and
"Darpok Daku." The first published story of Homnath Subedi,
"Avivek," was published in the first issue of Himal in 1969. His
writings mirror his deep exposure to Eastern and Western philosophy with a
great attachment to Nepalese culture and history.
Activism and Political Engagement
Subedi was an active participant in various
political movements. In 1968, he was put behind bars at the Central Jail in
Delhi for participation in the anti-cow slaughter movement. He also remained
attached to student politics and served as the organization minister of the
Nepali Student Union in Delhi and as vice-president of the Dhaulagiri Student
Union, Kathmandu.
He also participated in organizing
political conferences and editing some literary collections. In 1969, he had
his first publication of a literary collection entitled "Rachana
Sangraha" and included in it his essay entitled "Tritiya
Vishwayuddha" or in English, "The Third World War."
Family and Legacy
Homnath Subedi's commitment to education,
literature, and his root culture has made an indelible mark in both Nepal and
the Nepalese diaspora. His relocation to the USA did nothing to diminish his
bond with Nepal; through unending writing and publishing of works which
resonated from every corner of the world, the community of Nepalese felt heard.
In 1986, he built a house in Kathmandu to
keep his family attached to their roots. The Subedi family has been
continuously flourishing in the USA, and their biography has been closely
related to their motherland and their host nation.
Homnath Subedi's life is an example of his
attachment toward education, literature, and the preservation of his culture.
His contribution continues to inspire future generations of Nepalese home and
abroad.
Later Life and Continuing Contributions
Several months later, in December 1981, Homnath Subedi started regular work in
the United States with his assignment to a job at the Best Medical
International lab, located in Washington, D.C. Over the next years, his work
ethic and expertise reaped several prestigious awards-in evidence not only of
his commitment to professional excellence but also of his managing quite well
in a new country.
Subedi remained a prolific writer and
cultural ambassador for Nepal along with his professional success. Despite the
distance to the motherland geographically, he kept on writing to invoke a sense
of community among Nepalese people spread all over the world. His novel
"Welcome to America," which he wrote under the title "Baraleko
Prem," was published online at DC Nepal, showcasing his continued interest
in current issues that face many immigrants.
Awards and Professional Success
His contributions to the field did not go
unnoticed, among them, the following awards were bestowed upon him:
•
Appreciation Plaques for ten consecutive years of service at Best Medical
International in 1991 and again for fifteen years in 1996.
• employee of the year in 1994.
• Appreciation Plaques for non-stop carrier
from 2000 to 2005 and from 2000 to 2010.
All this popularity spoke volumes
approximately his work ethic and willpower, qualities that have described his
profession in each Nepal and the united states.

Family and Personal Life
Subedi came to the United States in 1989
with his whole family to keep them all together and support each other in their
new surroundings. His eldest son, Purushottam Subedi, had already joined them a
year previously, and together they established their new life in Woodbridge,
Virginia.
Whereas Subedi had lived temporarily in so
many places, the decision to settle permanently in Woodbridge showed his
interest in stability and continuity for the family. His wife, Nanda Devi
Subedi, and the children got along with the new surroundings exceedingly well.
They remained culturally close to their roots in Nepal while enjoying life in
America.
Legacy and Philosophical Insights
From a small village in Nepal to the
respected professional and literary figure he stands for in the United States,
Homnath Subedi's life itself is an extraordinary story of persistence and
commitment. His philosophical insights, gained through much dedication in the
study of Eastern and Western thought, have enriched his literary writing, making
the works not only culturally important but also intellectually enriching.
Self-taught in both Eastern and Western
philosophies, he also attended classes in scriptwriting and language
literature. If all that were not enough, his training in handling radioactive
materials further exemplifies the fact that there are so many things he could
do.
Conclusion
The life of Homnath Subedi is a bundle of
intellectual pursuit, cultural preservation, and professional excellence. His
contributions to Nepalese literature and culture both within Nepal and in
diaspora situations have left an indelible mark. His works continue to inspire
their readers with deep love for his homeland and ready adjustment to a new

efforts and his words.
