In this session, Mrs. Palak, an Assistant Professor in the P.G. Department of English, reviewed Marhi Da Deeva by S. Gurdial Singh. This novel, originally published in 1964, delves into the socio-cultural and emotional landscape of a pre-liberalization Punjab, shortly after India's independence. The story revolves around Jagseer and his mother, Nandi, unraveling themes of untouchability, caste discrimination, love, and generational hatred. With powerful storytelling, the novel draws readers into an intense emotional journey, evoking empathy and introspection as it sheds light on deeply rooted societal issues.
