Philosophy of Fearism program in Siliguri, India 5 June, 2016. Thre was big discussion. Many interested writers, critics were there.
"Philosophy of Fearism" in Siliguri Darjeeling, India
I am very grateful Siliguri, Darjeeling, India and Usma publication, Krishna Pradhan, Urmila Ghising. Krishna Pradhan is a person who tried his best to make success program and introduce Philosophy of Fearism in Darjeeling, Sikkim and West Bengal. Darjeeling is a beautiful hilly queen. Last day June 5, 2016 program of my tour was in Siliguri. I found many very curious, intellectual and interactive writers, creative writers, critics, journalists there. In our well come, there was musical, poem reciting program, ABN TV interview, all India radio interview and book exhibition. Once upon a time, Darjeeling represented Nepalese art, music and literature. There was red carpet for "Philosophy of Fearism", it is highly admirable work. I respect consciousness of Writer Krishna Pradhan who saw the importance and beauty of Fearism in world. I always remember who came from Mirik, Kharsong, Sikkim, Darjeeling, Mizoram, Siliguri and Nepal. All renowned writers were representing their area. Fearism Study Centre, Secretary Deepak Subedi and Vice Chairman of World Nepalese Literature Federation Surendra Limbu pradeshi came from Nepal.
I am really indebted to North East India Manipur, Meghalya, Assam and Darjeeling. I am also grateful to Delhi, Simla, Dehradoon, Rishikesh, Haridwar, Nainital and Muradabad. I am remembering Program of Jawaharlal Nehru University, Manipur University, Guhati University and Ajmal Foundation. I learned many things, met many friends and viewed beautiful places. It increases my thinking style, writing idea, logical power and lecturing skill. I hope with the help of this knowledge, I can go to world. I am preparing some universities and some important cities of world for next destination.
Karbi Anglong Autonomous District, Assam, India Well come “Philosophy of Fearism”
Diphu, is headquarter of Karbi Anglong Autonomous District. It is a beautiful tourist spot. "Philosophy of Fearism" was highly high lighted there.Rana Kafle and I arrived in Diphu evening of 2nd June, 2016. Program was 3rd of June, 2016. There was headline news of my arrival, program and departure in many local and state news papers, TV channels. Program was organized by Karbi Tokbang Aterank. Karbies are an ethic community in Assam, India.There were presences of many writers, journalists. Government employees, national film award winner director, musician, and artists. Musician and singers performed musical program for our well come. They gave a gift of Karbi coat. They respect "Philosophy of Fearism" as new philosophy in the world. Joint Secretary of autonomous District Writer, poet Dhaneswar Engti assisted to organize this program. He came to Dharan, Nepal in 2013 in "Fearism discourse and Inter cultural international program." He is writing an English book "a glimpse of International discourse 0n Fearism."
These are great publicity (press) articles for philosophy of fearism, Desh. Congratulations! I would be most curious to hear from Rana Kafle and/or if you or someone could tell us the kinds of specific activities he is doing as a writer and populist educator. I'm basing this on how I have heard his name mentioned so much in your writing on philosophy of fearism, but I have not seen his writing and his work described yet (perhaps, it's because he does not write in English?). For example, in this article you posted: "An ardent believer of the theory of Fearism, Rana Kafle from Assam, India left no stone unturned in propagating and popularizing this new philosophy in Nepal and India. Himself being a poet and a writer, Mr. Kafle believes that ‘Philosophy of Fearism’ will revolutionise the thinking process and will provide a new perspective to look at things around us."
Afresh perspective to look at varied aspects of life
Becoming the first person to coin the term ‘Fearism’, philosopher, poet and author Desh Subba has introduced a new perspective to look at life and the society. In his book “ Philosophy of Fearism” which got published in the month of July, 2014 and discussed, analysed and diagnosed by the intelligentsia across the globe, Subba delves deep in examining fear, its manifestation in human beings and the ways how it can get mitigated.
Desh Subba
Fear is defined as a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain etc. whether the threat is real or imagined; the feeling or condition of being afraid. Subba believes that a human being is inundated with fear of every kind, viz; news of war, epidemic, violence, fear of being humiliated and so on. He declares that every human being wants to escape from this all pervading fear.
Rooted on the hypothesis that fear is the most important consciousness in life, Subba uses the concept of fearism as a therapy for everyone who wants to get rid of fear of every sort.
Born in Dharan, Eastern part of Nepal, Desh Subba currently lives with his family in Hongkong. Besides authoring this highly acclaimed work ‘Philosophy of Fearism’, Subba also has authored four novels.
An ardent believer of the theory of Fearism, Rana Kafle from Assam, India left no stone unturned in propagating and popularizing this new philosophy in Nepal and India. Himself being a poet and a writer, Mr. Kafle believes that ‘Philosophy of Fearism’ will revolutionise the thinking process and will provide a new perspective to look at things around us.

Fear is the driver of human progress, Hong Kong author argues
It's a positive as well as a negative emotion, says Desh Subba, who's written a book, Philosophy of Fearism, and will give a talk about it this week.
We live with fear every day and it has been with us since the dawn of human civilisation, Hong Kong-based author Desh Subba argues in a book, Philosophy of Fearism.
Fear plays a big part in our culture - in myths, religious works, literature and philosophy. Its connotations tend to be largely negative. Subba, however, regards fear not in terms of mere phobias, or the “fight or flight” response, but as a part of our wider consciousness and a primary director of life.
The Nepali writer, poet and philosopher will discuss his philosophical theory of "fearism" at the University of Hong Kong Libraries’ Reading Club on March 26. His book, published last year, discusses a wide range of interrelated ideas, including fear as a weapon, a source of courage, as our enemy, as something beautiful and as a means of protection.
Subba contends that fear has been the driving force behind wars and atrocities, but has also been the key to the successful development of human civilisation.
“If fear is divided into two types, black and white, black represents negative characteristics such as violence, murder, crime, conspiracy and ego, etc. White includes characteristics such as civilisation, progress, success, development, friendships, peace, and so on,” he says.
“Looking back to ancient times, we had a fear of natural disasters, hunger and enemies. It was necessary for us to protect ourselves, so we built homes, invented machines and started cultivating land, and so on. To maintain social order, we created constitutions, laws, governments and courts. If there was no fear in society, everybody would be careless, resulting in loss, damage and death. So fear brings us peace and happiness.
“Right now we have fear of Ebola. One day scientists will find a cure and we can be Ebola-free. So fear carries us forward, not backwards. Fear is the source of all invention.”
Subba has been working on his philosophy since 1999, after an unpublished manuscript he shared among friends was returned to him with the word “fearism” underlined. He had not recalled using it, but decided it was an idea worth exploring further.
He says many philosophers have dealt with the subject of fear, but none before him have coalesced their thinking on the subject into a fully formed philosophy.
Subba’s talk is at 6.30pm on Thursday at Special Collections, 1/F, HKU Main Library New Wing.
Philosophy of Fearism is published by Xlibris and is available from Amazon.
