Saintly sinner (Pavitra Paapi)

by Nanak Singh

This Punjabi book is one of the best Punjabi books to read.  This book is about guilt, love, and sacrifice. This book tells the story of “Kedar” a young man who takes the job at watch repair shop. he did not know at the time that this would lead to the dismissal of panna las who had the job previously, who was already desperate for not being able to provide his family, let alone fo ra dowry fo his eldest daughter veena, and who disappears after telling kedar that he will kill himself.

Tortured by guilt but unwilling to tell them what he knows, Kedar becomes deeply involved with the family, leading them to believe that Panna Lal had been sent away on a long-term mission by his employer. He falls in love with Veena, and I must not describe the complications that follow – suffice it to say that Kedar’s conflicting emotions become increasingly feverish. Unable to tell the truth, his roles as a guilt-ridden sinner, the saintly obligations he feels towards the family and the torture of his feelings for Veena make his behavior increasingly erratic and drive him close to insanity. Veena’s own emotions are nearly as complex. All this is rather drawn out. In due course, events make Kedar’s situation completely untenable. The end, which circles back to the Prologue, contains an unbelievable twist.

One sympathizes with the dilemma in which Kedar finds himself; but I thought the story is rather frenetic, though the style (or the translation by the author’s grandson Navdeep Suri) is rather flat.[copied]

Pinjar

By Amrita Pritam

 Pinjar tells the story of a young woman of Hindu background.Everything was great and wealthy  for her, she finds herself a young man from a promising family to her own background. Everything seems fine in her life but one day she was kidnapped by a man called Rashid,  a man of Muslim descent.

Her family has left her to die, her name has been changed, her religion has been converted, she has been married to Rashid who abducted her. In short, she has been reduced to only a skeleton with no soul inside her. Still, she strives for the happiness of others.No other women facing similar pain and sorrow could have fought against it with so much confidence.

This novel not only depicts the “Partition of India” but also describes the struggle of a woman and her helplessness very powerfully. As such, the novel is constructed at two levels. One at inner conscious level of Puro where she always fights with her thoughts, between her hatred and gradually developed affection towards Rashid (initially kidnaper, her husband and father of her children), her helplessness and pity on her fate. At other level this novel highlights the situation and status of Indian women living in rural areas.

This book is about the trip by Balraj Sahni to Pakistan in 1962, It is a personal diary of the events he always kept with himself, although it is very evident from the name of the book.

He talks about his appreciation of Ahmad Nagar in Maharashtra, that how it is well managed as compared to Punjab.

He talks about George borrow ‘s writings about gypsies and their links to northern Indians  How laughter of a person can give insights into a man’s mind and thinking

he’s going to his ancestral house in Bhera and able to remember each and every street. The scene where he finally finds his home and off compares Hindustan and Pakistan, democracy and theocracy and gives his opinions in a non-intruding way.

The highlight of the book though has to be last 30 pages, which have nothing to do with his journey to Pakistan, but where he appears as a philosopher, where he yearns to find who is the victim and who is the oppressor. Jews or Arabs or Punjab or Vietnam or America Or India. He gives his views with full emotions.
