Conquering War And Cancer

Yuddha Ladey, Cancer Jitey, is a memoir by Lila Sharma, 'Asmita', a Maoist combatant who rose to the position of brigade vice-commander during Nepal’s civil war. Born and raised in Dang, Sharma joined the Maoist movement as a woman. She kept diaries during the war. Later, she used her memories to write this book. Published by Publication Nepalaya in 2026, the memoir explores her experiences during the conflict, struggles after the war and battle with cancer. Rather than presenting only the heroic or tragic sides of war, she portrays a life shaped by political ideals, personal struggles and unexpected challenges.
