Upendra Bahadur Angdembe Limbu who is known as Upendra Subba (Template:Lang-ne) is a Nepali poet, lyricist, writer, and film director. He is one of the initiators of the movement called Srijanshil Arajakta (Creative Anarchy)[1] along with Rajan Mukarung and Hangyug Agyat.

Subba was born in Angsarang-8, Panchthar, an eastern hilly district. His birth name was Upendra Bahadur Angdembe.

In 1997, he moved to Kathmandu city from Damak to become a songwriter. His songwriting had started to see success with music composed by Shantiram Rai. His songs were sung by Deep Shrestha, Robin Sharma, Ananda Karki, Yam Baral and won some competitions. He became convinced that song recording was expensive and that the music industry was heading towards the directions unlike his taste.[2]

Literary career

Around this time, he met Rajan Mukarung and Hangyug Agyat. They jointly started a literary movement called Srijanshil Arajakta (meaning creative anarchy). [3]

He credits their joint movement for his success in writing. He claimed that the success of Lato Pahad was because Rajan Mukarung paved path for him by success of his novels Hechhakuppa and winning Madan Puraskar with Damini Bhir.
