Balkrishna Shamsher Jang Bahadur Rana or Bala Krishna Sama (Nepali: बालकृष्ण सम; 8 February 1903 – 20 June 1981) was a Nepalese dramatist.[1] For his great contributions to Nepali literature, he was awarded the title Natya Siromani (Crest-jewel of playwright). He is considered as one of the trimurti (trinity) of Nepali literature alongside Laxmi Prasad Devkota and Lekhnath Paudyal. He is often called the Shakespeare of Nepal.
