Inhaltsangabe
Reminiscing memories all the way from one’s childhood, both the moments of joy and that of despair, are intricately woven into almost every individual’s nostalgic yet romanticized get-away back in time, throughout the trajectory of their lives.
The simplicity of villagers and their irreproachable behavioral pattern towards matters of pecuniary nature is again well brought out through several incidents fondly recalled Author during his tenure as the Village Head (Local Government Head). Furthermore, poverty and illiteracy, the root cause of under-development and oppression in several villages across the country, have been asserted in the book as catalysts for superstitious practices prevalent among community members in Lehal hamlet, Punjab. The abhorrent practice of casting out supposed spirits from people to cure their ailments, in the name of alternate medicine, is rightfully gauged as emanating from people’s struggle with poverty and lack of access to education, which is what most villages in India today grapple with, owing to paucity of political will and bureaucratic apathy.
Professor Chhina’s emotive anamnesis of this period during his childhood, in Sargodha (Pakistan) and Lehal (Punjab, India), will distinctly strike resonance with those who lived through that phase in time, both in India and across the border. It is in this literary milieu, that the reader is poised to be mesmerized all through the book.
Today, for many people especially the sexagenarians and above living in the sub-continent, pacing their way through complexities of contemporary lifestyles, drawing of memories from their respective villages is marked by a spirit of effervescence that is quite often than not, quintessential to their very character and existentialism.
