Ludwig Stiller

[edit]

Ludwig Stiller (24 August 1928-10 March 2009) born in Ohio ,USA was a Jesuit and Historian. He obtained his Nepali citizenship on 9 February 1969, thus becoming the third Jesuit to receive it after Fr Moran and Fr Thomas Downing.

Stiller was energized by the need to bring to light the suffering and experience of the peasantry. In doing so he added depth and texture to our understanding of what helped create Nepal as we know it.

Stiller published a series of explanatory videos on Modern Nepal in 2000 AD.

Stiller's works include: Nepal: Growth of a Nation, The Silent Cry: the People of Nepal 1816-1839, Letters from Kathmandu: the Kot Massacre and Planning for People: A Study of Nepal's Planning Experience which he co-authored with Ram Prakash Yadav.
