Madhyantar (Hard Bound, Hindi, Manish Kumar Singh)

Almost everywhere in the world, the common people are constantly struggling over the wide spread of villages, towns and metropolis. In the midst of the struggle against mutual alienation and exploitation, the effort to save happiness continues unabated. Imperialism is not only characteristic of foreign rulers from across the seven seas, citizens also have to contend with internal imperialists after achieving political independence. When people of modest status make sankalpas, numerous particles of steam combine to form a river. After all, every human being is a Mahanad imprisoned in an earthen pot. The attitude of the exploiter is like that of the demon Hiranyaksha whose attention is focused on Hiranya, the gold. For him human settlements are wastelands on which every opportunity should be exploited to build commercial atolls. The novel also has a parallel description of family relationships. The destruction of the joint family has certainly brought scratches on the relationship, but still the bond of the relationship has not been broken. People from village-town are probably more capable of struggle. Cooperation and love also coexist with hatred and selfishness. Like-minded people influence each other, while like-minded people also have mutual attraction. The end does not end with a decisive victory or defeat, but with a determination to continue the fight.
