About Amrita Pritam

Defining Indian literature at its best, Amrita Pritam was an iconic writer and poetess of the 20th century. She put the literature of Punjab for the first time on the map of the world. People recognize her for her acclaimed novel 'Pinjar', seen as a feature film on the Partition of Hindustan. But her love for literature expands further unrestricted by language, culture or theme.

Amrita Pritam is celebrated as a Romantic Progressive writer. Writing from a very young age, Amrita embodied universal values of justice and spirituality in her writings which are relevant to date. With Sufi poets and saints as her muse, she unveiled thoughts and reactions that were much ahead of her time. More importantly, she penned down her anguish on issues which were considered a social taboo. The bold and rebellious attitude in her writings overthrew worn out social norms, traditions and even the misogynistic definition of love. She became the voice of the Indian Woman. Even today, her works draped in the simplicity of life, echo unspoken truths. The ingrained textures of her characters, colloquial flavors of her stories and the fabrication of words capture mundane rural life as though they were always a part of us.
