Jagat Sundar Malla

Jagat Sundar Malla (1882 - 1952) (Nepali: जगतसुन्दर मल्ल) was a Nepalese teacher and writer who dedicated his life to the education of the common people.

Malla opened a school in his home defying government repression as the Rana regime disapproved of any move to spread modern education. He stressed the importance of learning English, and he wrote and published textbooks in Nepalese languages as he believed that children learn faster if they are taught in their mother tongue. He is honored as one of the Four Pillars of Nepal Bhasa.
