The Aswikrit Sahitya Andolan (Rejected Literary Movement) is a dissident literary movement, formed in 1970 AD (2026 VS) by a group of writers in Nepal under the name of Aswikrit Jamat (Rejected Generation). This was when Nepal was under the reign of a rigid monarchical authoritarian regime named as Panchayat System (defined as a Party-less System). No progressive thoughts were allowed in literary works, nor was any printed material or professional group formation allowed without the government sanction during this period. The progressive writers were fully suppressed and subjugated by the government and its vigilant sneakers. Thus they rebelled pronouncing themselves as Aswikrit Jamat i.e. Rejectionists, not mere "rejected Generation]" but "Rejecters" of all imposed authoritarian, undemocratic and unrealistic values by the rigid regime and old traditions.

Awskrit Jamat
Aswikrit Jamat is a group of rebellious writers who pronounced themselves as "Rejectionists". The literal meaning of Aswikrit Jamat is "Rejected Generation". But the conototion of their usage is as "Rejecters" . Their rejection was for all authoritarian, undemocratic and unrealistic values imposed by the rigid monarchichal Panchachayat regime and old traditions. The movement the Aswikrits started in the advent of 70s is known as Aswikrit Sahitya Andolan (The movement of Rejected Literature) or Aswikrit Andolan (The Movement of Rejection). (Kavitaram Shrestha, Mera Aswikrit Manyataharu and http://aswikrit.com/index.php?linkId=362)
The rebellious Aswikrit Jamat (the Rejectionists) were numbered with 16 writers. They were: Kavitaram Shrestha, Nepal Bhushan Neupane, Shailendra Sakar, Puskar Lohani, Bhau Panthi, Saket Bihari Thakur, Prakash Premi, Anjir Pradhan, Kanakdwip BaAa, Jagat Ranjan, Mohan Singh Thapa, Prem Narayan Premi, Indra Rajbhandari, Navin Prakash Jung Shah, Bishnulal Shrestha and Kashinath Tamot. Later, the number of rebels was not increased as the group perceived that the rebel had to be at their writings but not with their name itself. Besides, one could reveal his/her unity through any forms of radical campaign. (Kavitaram Shrestha, Mera Aswikrit Manyataharu and http://aswikrit.com/index.php?linkId=362)
The rebellious writer started this movement with an unregistered literary journal "Sanjeevani", edited by Kavitaram Shrestha and Nepal Bhushan Neupane. Later three more casual unregistered journals also joined the movement. They were: Mantra-5 (edited by Kavitaram Shrestha and Shailendra Sakar), Resha-4 (edited by Anjir Pradhan Pidit), Kshitij (edited by Mohan Singh Thapa). (Kavitaram Shrestha, Mera Aswikrit Manyataharu and http://aswikrit.com/index.php?linkId=362)
Later, the Aswikrits with other prominent protestors had also organized a symbolic protest with Boot-polish Campaign in New Road at the heart of Kathmandu still under the tyrant monarchichal regime of Panchayet System in 031 BS (1974 AD). (Kavitaram Shrestha, mera Aswikrit manyataharu and http://aswikrit.com/index.php?linkId=362)
The movement was active for 4 years. Then they seemed lost. However, the individuals kept on writing their rebellious articles for years without pronouncing their name under the catchments of the Aswikrit movement. Only Kavitaram Shrestha presented all of his books as a part of the movement all the time.
Literary award
Kavitaram Shrestha later announced a literary award named as Aswikrit Bichar-sahitya Puraskar in 1997 to reward those rejectionists who were rejected by the power and authority. Kavitaram believes that all traits in the power subjugate rivals. If rivals are subdued the progress stops in the society. So rebellions should be empowered by all means for the progress of the society. This award is given one radical littérateur every year.[1] For its continuity Kavitaram Shrestha established a trust named as Aswikrit Bichar-sahitya Puraskar Guthi donating the entire earnings from his literary works as well as cash awards obtained in past and even in future to come. http://aswikrit.com/index.php?linkId=26
This conceptual literary award is established in order to help sustainability and promotion of Aswikrit Andolan in Nepal, helping rejected Nepali writers that stand in opposition with their Aswikrit creative literatures, promoting revolts for creative changes against all values that exploits deprived population for all times and places.
