Expectation

The novel ‘EXPECTATION’ (’PRATEEKSHA’) written by Smt. Rajkumari Sharma is worth to be included in the list of the best novels ever written on the INDO-PAK partition. The author in her autobiographical novel has beautifully depicted the customs, traditions, festivals, the life- style and the changing scenario in the work culture of the then Punjab. Since the author herself being a victim of the INDO-PAK partition; has undergone the horror, hence she has succeeded in depicting the heart-breaking experience of the bloody-partition. The heroine of the novel Sita never surrenders to the adversities, never compromises to wrong ethical values but, takes them up as the challenge; faces them boldly and becomes victorious. As a social-novel, it ‘s story is very inspiring, interesting and indulging. I am confident that this novel written in simple language would be a guide & enrich the knowledge of the readers.
