Sohan Singh Seetal

Sohan Singh Seetal (1909-1998) was an Indian writer, poet and lyricist of Punjabi language. Seetal, Sohan Singh entered the field of literary creation after 1947. He has written over a score novel most of which are romantic and sentimental. Among these Dive di Lo (The Flame of the Earthen Lamp), Mul da Mas (Flesh at a Price) and Badla (Revenge) deal with the eternal problem of the woman about which most Indian writers and artistes cannot help being sentimental. Sohan Singh Seetal has in due course travelled from sentimentality, which often becomes macabre, to competent realism, although here also the projection of problems and their solution are not without a sentimental tinge.
