PADMA SHRI AWARDEE SANU LAMA ALSO KNOWN AS GARUD SINGH LAMA PASSES AWAY ON 12 JULY 2025.
With profound sorrow and heartfelt grief, the All India Tamang Buddhist Association Central Committee mourns the passing of Sanu Lama, Founder Member and Former President of All India Tamang Buddhist Association and renowned figure in Nepali literature, also known as Garud Singh Lama. A prolific writer of short stories, novels, and children's literature, he was a guiding light in shaping modern Nepali literature in India. His immense contributions to literature earned him national acclaim and the honour of the Padma Shri by the Government of India.
Sanu Lama's literary legacy will continue to enlighten and inspire generations of readers, scholars, and writers across the Nepali-speaking world, especially the Tamang community. His words will live on in the hearts of many.
We (aitba) extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends, admirers, and the entire literary community. May his noble soul rest in eternal peace.
OM MANE PAME HUAN.
