A group of friends (including Bharati) gathers at Manik Mulla’s house. Manik is a famous personality of the colony Bharati lives in. The novel starts with an introduction of Manik Mulla, the protagonist of the novel. The place of the events is Allahabad (I suppose) and the time is immediately after India’s independence from the Britain (~1950). Bharati have split the story of the novel in seven short stories.īharati, himself, is the story-teller. Today, in twentieth century we may have read novels with similar way of story-telling but for a Hindi novel that first published in 1952, it must have been quite revolutionary. Bharati has told the story in Suraj Ka Satwan Ghoda is very much different from the conventional story-telling style. And I must say this short-novel over-delivered on my very high expectations. Since Suraj Ka Satwan Ghoda is much more acclaimed novel than Gunahon Ka Devta, my expectations were much higher. The novel is one of my favourite Hindi novels. I had read Dharamvir Bharati's Gunahon Ka Devta around three years ago.
