Reviews

“Trilok Chand Ghai, a native of Punjabi world, has not only captured the essence of Madan Veera’s poetry but also conserved its vernacular dictum. His brilliant and searching translation will carry forward legitimately the argot of Madan to a potentially much wider English readership. This is his fourth English translation of Punjabi poetry. Ghai’s earlier translations of Punjabi poetry – of Baba Farid, Pash, Lal Singh Dil and Balbir Madhopuri – were well received both at home and abroad.” -Ronki Ram, Professor of Political Science, Punjab University, India.
