As Ratna Park gets new name and statues of two icons, many say ‘let history be history’

At the centre of Kathmandu, the city has memorialised the lives of Sankhadhar Sakhwa and Padma Ratna Tuladhar but the step has sparked a debate about recording history.

Legend has it that Vikram Sambat , the official calendar of Nepal, is named after King Vikramaditya of Ujjain in Madhya Pradesh, India and he initiated it after having won a war.
