Come back every Wednesday for a new set of five! This week we have Loh-Katha by Pash and Khanabadosh by Ajeet Cour among others.
Poetry by Charan Singh
The poet usually wrote under the pen name Shahid, and his work can be found online, including shahanshahian and beparvahian among others.
Loh-Katha by Pash
Avtar Singh Sandhu was one of the major poets of the Naxalite movement in the Punjabi literature of the 1970s. This debut poetry collection was heavily influenced by his political views while his later collections outgrew them.
Ik Mian Do Talwaran by Nanak Singh
This Sahitya Akademi Award-winning historical novel translates to one sheath, two swords. It chronicles the life of the martyred revolutionary, Kartar Singh Sarabha.
Khanabadosh by Ajeet Cour
Pebbles in a Tin Drum by Masooma Ali
Cour's memoir, titled as nomad, reflects on her journey as a writer as well as a woman witnessing political crises like the Partition of 1947 and the Sikh Riots of 1984. She is a versatile litterateur with many novels, short stories and biographies to her name.
Patjhar Di Paazeb by Surjit Patar
Patar only started publishing poetry in his sixties. The title of this collection of ghazals can be understood as the anklet of autumn.
