VIRGINIA, USA — Born in the small village of Syangja, Sagar Sapkota—widely known to his growing online audience as “Muglan ko Batash”—grew up mesmerized by the rhythm of rural life. Watching his uncle sing timeless folk tunes left a lasting impression on him as a child, sparking a lifelong dream to one day follow in those footsteps, embrace that musical legacy, and share stories of his own. His love for his village and authentic Nepali culture remained unshakeable. Moving to the United States with his parents at a young age and completing his education abroad could have easily created a disconnect, but Sapkota maintained his fluency in his mother tongue and stayed rooted in his heritage. Today, he stands as a powerful example for the second-generation Nepali diaspora, proving that staying connected to one’s language and roots is entirely possible beyond borders—all it takes is love for where you come from.
Now based in Virginia, Sapkota is taking that passion to a global scale as he boards a flight to Nepal today. His journey represents a growing movement of professionals, engineers, and everyday people who are stepping behind the camera to turn personal heritage into meaningful content. What sets Sapkota apart in this creator boom is his unique combination of analytical discipline and artistic vision. Having earned his Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering with Distinction, he currently works full-time as a Manufacturing Engineer in the U.S., applying his structured problem-solving mindset to craft polished, narrative-driven videos that resonate across platforms.
“Getting connected to your roots and mother tongue is possible beyond borders—you just have to carry that love for your heritage wherever you go.”
During his trip, Sapkota plans to take the professional knowledge and technical perspective he gained in the U.S. back to the village where he grew up. He will be documenting authentic local traditions, capturing life in Sajha, and bringing the untold stories of rural Nepal to a worldwide audience. Fans and followers can look forward to immersive new videos and musical journeys dropping across his official Muglan ko Batash channels as he reconnects with his roots.
