Description:

This social novel written by the popular author Om Prakash Sharma is sure to touch your heart. A remarkable figure in Hindi popular literature, he was known for his realistic yet imaginative and experimental storytelling.

At a time when most Hindi detective novels were adaptations or translations of English works, he created original stories rooted in Indian society. He chose the common man as his hero—characters made of flesh and blood—and used them to promote Indian values and ideals.

His memorable characters such as Rajesh, Jagat, Jayant, Jagan, Gopali, Chakram, William Krishna, Jadugar Bhuvan, Bagarov, Tau, and Lili feel incredibly real to readers.

Such was his popularity that many writers published fake novels under his name to gain profit. For his deep connection with the Hindi psyche and his purposeful, progressive, and simple literary contributions, the Government of Uttar Pradesh honored him with the title “Upanyas Samrat.”
