Background

The poems were first published as individual short poems over time, on periodicals like Ruprekha.[6] The poems are highly informed by national and international political and social issues of the time, and are interpreted as protest literature.[7] [8] [1]

The book was awarded with the Sajha Puraskar by Sajha Prakashan in 2026 BS.
