Overview

Sanatana is not a name or a character; he is the embodiment of a struggling humanity. He is the man who survives defeating all calamities and crisis. He is the bravest Odia man who faced severest of the famines and fiercest of the cyclones. He is the hero who writes history in his own blood. He is the metaphoric representation of peasants and labourers. He is the timeless fighter in Prasanna Kumar Mishra's poetry. Truck Dalare Sanatana ( Sanatana in a truck's trolly) is a collection of poem which was written with the blood and sweat of the common man.
