Radha (Nepali: राधा) is a 2005 novel written by Krishna Dharabasi, winner of prestigious Nepali literary award Madan Puraskar. The novel was an adaptation of the ancient Sanskrit epic Mahabharat, giving greater prominence to the character of Radha. Inspired by Jacques Derrida's Theory of Deconstruction, Dharabasi completely changed the characters of Radha and Krishna, making Radha brave, dignified and revolutionary.
