Amrita Pritam

Amrita Pritam (1919–2005) Punjabi aur Hindi sahitya ki aisi awaaz thin jinhone auraton ke dardon aur unke ankahe sangharsh ko aam logon tak pohochaya. Unki kalam mein sach ko bina kisi dar ke saamne rakhne ki taqat thi. 1947 ke partition ke bhayanak dard ko kareeb se jhel chuki Amrita ne jab Pinjar likha, toh wo sirf ek kitab nahi thi, balki us daur ki anginat auraton ki ek aisi kahani thi jise sab bhulana chahte the. Sahitya Akademi aur Jnanpith Puraskar se sammanit, unki kahaniyan aaj bhi isliye relevant hain kyunki wo insaan ko ek baar thehar kar sochne par majboor kar deti hain. Is dastaan ko poora sunein aur phir apne doston ke saath is par zaroor charcha karein.
