UNDOUBTEDLY NISHANK

A study of Nishank's text can be a logical point to initiate the study of contemporary Hindi literature for those who approach literature for getting universal values and meaningful recreation. The idea of mother India, national pride and patriotic fervour is greatly reflected in Shri Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank's poetry and fiction. His depiction of Uttarakhand as a microcosm of Indian culture and society is bewitching and breathtaking. Shri Nishank has written more than 75 books so far and this book-length study will steer you through the study of his rich and varied literary output. The book is arranged in the manner of 'a brief introduction' and a conscious attempt has also been made to place Shri Nishank's contribution to Hindi literature in particular and Indian literature in general. This volume brings together an introduction to his life and personality as a poet-politician and is divided into nine crisp but unconventionally titled chapters. For the author of this book reading Nishank has been an act of replicating himself and he wishes his readers too to replicate themselves when they read him.
