About The Book

Gurbakhsh Singh (1895-1977), Punjabi novelist, story writer, essayist, playwright, journalist, visionary and founder of 'Preet Nagar', a unique experiment in co-operative living, was a multifaceted personality. Starting his career as a clerk, he worked his way up to become an engineer but chose to turn a farmer.

The first modern stylist in Punjabi, Gurbakhsh Singh transformed the hitherto pedestrian prose into a strong vehicle of expression. A born rebel, his ideas shocked the orthodox but came as a whiff of fresh air, stirring people to a new awakening and filling them with love, courage and faith. Preet Lari, a monthly founded in 1933, and edited by him made a deep impact on the readers. It was in its columns that most of his own writings first appeared. Gurbakhsh Singh's prominent works include Unviahi Man (novel), Pritan di Pahredar (short stories), Rajkumari Latika (drama), Parian da Mochi (juvenile literature), Meri Jivan Kahani (autobiography in three parts) and Light of Asia (translation).
