Along with participating in the International Tourism Festival in Dharan, Nepal Sanskrit University Dang Prof. Tankprasad Neupane Study Research Centre and Literature Centre, and Arts Culture Foundation, Dharan, falicitated, on the occasion of felicitation received event, on behalf of Fearism Study Centre, Manisundar Khatridahal presented me a book named Bhaybad (Philosophy of Fearism) as a gift written by Desh Subba. I read the book within a week that is so profound, and detailed about Fearism. First of all, it will be unjustice if I don't express gratitude to literary charioteer Manisundar Khatradahal, I am very grateful to him.
 
'Ism' is a suffix in literature, which is used to be added to any word, that word changes its meaning in a particular way and describes its interpretation in a particular aspect. There are different 'Isms' in literature.
 
Similarly, the researcher Desh Subba has presented an investigative book in the name of Fearism for the prosperity of Nepali literature.
Dictionary meaning of fear is fear, panic arising from a crisis or evil. It makes the creature anxious and disturbed in their mental state. We have been afraid since childhood. The elders tell us we should not be afraid, we used to try our best to be fearless. But for some reason we were scared. The researcher has established it by deep study in the means of life is conducted, directed and controlled by fear. His philosophical thinking inspires human civilization to know its importance. As a new experiment in Nepalese language, in the preface it has proposed the argument that they want to eradicate fear. In human life they must have fear, otherwise their existence will be erased.
 
The founder has defined sub-topics in this way - "There are many types of consciousness, but we should consider fear as beautiful ones. We succeed, progress because of it. If consciousness was not beautiful, the form of the world would have been different. This beautiful consciousness has made the world beautiful. "In this context, Gorkhaland is demanded due to fear of losing existence". Life, consciousness and knowledge are mixed in fear. Subba tried to claim, fear is the director of life, the operating power of civilization, the universe, the black hole of the space, invention, light, vision, mystery, superpower, caution indicator, courage, enemy of personality, beauty, powerful weapon controller, big law, guardian of all activities, the combined form of psychological effects, and the protector of the creatures, biggest claim is, covered God under Fearism. He included God as a fear. He says, "Because of fear man believes in God, and worships it." God is the way to get relief from the fear of various sorrows, pains, and problems. "It seems that God is the only way to get rid of fear. We call them religious.
People always think that "I am good". This trend is by birth. We fear that others may dislike us or say bad things. People want to be beautiful. He is trying to be the best in society. Fearism has wrapped up this issue, the turban of beauty.
 
Since early civilization human beings have been encircled in this chain. They struggled with fear of hunger, wild animals, and natural power. Fears seem to be fearmorphosed crossing various eras. Desh has given eras of fears 1. Primitive Low Fear Age (Primitive Hunter Age), 2. Pre-Middle Fear Age (Agriculture Age), 3. The Middle Fear Age (Feudal Age), 4. Early Medium Fear Age (Industrial Age), 5. Atomic Fear Age, 6. Cyber Fear Age, 7. Space Fear Age, 8. Virus Fear Age, 9. Extreme Fear Age, 10. The Fearless Age. He has defined these detailly in a book.
 
Interestingly, he has said a man can be free from fear when he relieves negative aspects such as anger, work, love, affection, doubt, jealousy, ego, hatred. His clear-cut concept is, If we do this, there will be a balance of fear. How fear comes, he has mentioned it in a circle of fear topic, he said fear is human consciousness and with this, we see, remember, eat, suffer naturally and it expands. For example, we fear when we see a snake. We haunt by the feeling of a bite. But the logic of Desh is that, snake is just an external element of fear. The snake can bite us, so we panic and fear. It is not necessary to panic and fear with snakes, he argues. After stimulating human fear- consciousness, we feel fear, he opines. In this way, he has widely analysed and explanationed the sources of fear.
 
In the operation of fear Subba scans the source, reason, factors, areas of fear, cosmis form of fear, universe of fear, situation of fear, types of fear, fear cycle, perimeter and relativity, emergence of fear, possible events, fear guided life, middle word of fear, fear struggle, fear pyramids, dephilosophy, fearless path and synopsis, etc. in Philosophy of Fearism.
 
Fear is a kind of phobia. We fear because of doubt, confusion, mistakes, wrongdoing, accusations, jealousy. It can be seen in his writing. Desh Subba's book has become very deep, and appreciable. Hehas presented innovative idea to Nepali literature. Many English books have been published on the basis of Fearism all over the world. It is not only a gift for literature students, but also for university, just like the Ramayana of Bhanubhakta. It must be read in every house. For the general reader they find Fearism is an encyclopedia of fear and it hammers in scholars' minds.
Best wishes and heartly thank you to author, creator and applier of Fearism, Desh Subba.
