About The Book

Kambakht Nindar is the first volume of the autobiography by renowned Hindi author Dr. Narendra Mohan, translated into Marathi by Yashodhara Katkar. This poignant literary work intricately weaves together the author’s personal journey and the socio-political challenges of his time. Dr. Mohan's narrative takes readers through a deeply introspective exploration of his life, beginning with his birth during a turbulent period in history—amidst communal violence and gunfire in the aftermath of India’s partition.

The autobiography captures the emotional and physical upheavals that shaped Dr. Mohan’s early life. As a young boy, affectionately called "Nindar" by his mother, Beeji, he and his family were forced to flee their home and become refugees in Amritsar, witnessing the greatest human migration and tragedy during the partition. These harrowing experiences left an indelible mark on his soul, compelling him to express the pain, joy, and resilience through his literary works.

Kambakht Nindar is not just an account of Dr. Mohan's personal life but also a reflection on the broader social and political shifts that defined a generation. Through vivid storytelling, the author portrays the emotional aftermath of the partition, offering readers a glimpse into the struggles faced by individuals during one of India's darkest times. This autobiography is a powerful and evocative read, highlighting the intersection of personal loss, historical events, and the power of creative expression.
