{"product_id":"kanpta-hua-dariya","title":"Kanpta Hua Dariya","description":"\u003cp\u003eUnlike the romantic tales of Kashmirs beauty and love, Mohan Rakeshs novel, based on the lives of a poor Hanji family living in a house on the river, their joys and sorrows, conflicts of emotions, and the harsh struggles of life, is also distinct in that it stands in stark contrast to his urban, middle-class creative world. In the novel, Mohan Rakesh himself sheds light on the process of writing under the title Purvabhumi, revealing his emotional connection to the story. To complete it, he spent months in Kashmir, living not only in houseboats with the Hanji family but also in canoes, traveling the river to remote areas. Yet, the novel remained unfinished. Initiated by Jaidev Taneja, a researcher of Rakeshs literature and a keen observer of his literary consciousness, it was completed as an experiment by Meera Kant, who is herself well-versed in the Kashmiri background. To grasp the groundwork of this story, she spent weeks in Srinagar, meeting with the Hajis, their families, and generations old and new. This unique narrative experiment explores the novels characters and narrative threads, developing them further. The insight, imagination, and skill with which she has brought this novel to a multifaceted conclusion is captivating. It is hoped that readers will find a new novelistic experience in this experiment. Undoubtedly, this novel provides a foundation for understanding Kashmir, which is at a new turning point today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rajkamal Prakashan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45878031745222,"sku":"DADAX8183619584","price":10.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/9389\/1014\/files\/81SM2NGzvML.jpg?v=1779682511","url":"https:\/\/ergodemedia.com\/products\/kanpta-hua-dariya","provider":"Ergodemedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
