In a nutshell, he is a nationalist, think-tank, journalist, writer, literary figure, social activist, historian, cultural specialist and jurisprudent, campaigner of anti-corruption movement and instigator of neo-science, "Anticorruptology". He started writing literary works since his childhood. At the early age of 15, he published poems in the local literary magazine for the first time and gradually stories, essays etc. were published. Right after the graduation from Tribhuvan University in 1970 he exposed himself as a journalist in Nepal.

In 1979, he made a sensation in the country by releasing his first historical novella “KALO SURYA” (The Black Sun) even though the country was ruled by the corrupted aristocrats, feudal, ‘Panche’ leaders and bureaucrats of the Partyless Panchayat System. While criticism, arguments, think-tank discussion, voice, revolution throughout the literary work or art of writing against the system and policy also used to be considered as a concerned crime. In such a devastative life thriving scenario, he published his novel that explains the exploitation and suppression by so-called rulers of existing autocratic regime in authoritarian system.

Jangam’s following literary fiction, ‘BYUHA CHAKRA’ (The Vicious Circle) was written in 1984. In the art, he has given a transparent viewpoint and perspective of the aristocratic rulers, nonpolitical system and has pointed out its weaknesses.

He has given his direct perspective that any decision that is created or invented by human mind is not, and cannot be, full and final. Human being keeps willing to change at every pace, it’s the naturalistic philosophy. Human mind keeps itself suffering, being tortured, and waste it’s essence in the process of attaining the novelty of social dogmas. Life means to live or ‘living’. It is bounded by jurisdiction of time, due to this limited factor of the living standard, there is a multitude of hopes and desires after which human beings find themselves hankered, and this is the fountain-head form which springs the temptation for the novelty.
Even being a foreigner, he has succeeded to narrate the realism of ins and outs of contemporary China which until very recently, was closed for the foreigners and is successful in letting us know-how China looks outside, its peripheral spheres, what actually China is and Is Communism really good for the nation and its people?
