Adh Channi Raat- Gurdial Singh

Set against the raw, authentic backdrop of rural Malwa, the novel tells the deeply moving story of Modan, a man returning to his village after serving a long prison sentence. As he attempts to rebuild his life, reclaim his land, and find personal happiness, he finds himself trapped in a relentless web of rigid social structures, family feuds, and economic exploitation. It is a powerful, tragic commentary on the struggles of the marginalized and the heavy price of maintaining individual dignity in a changing agrarian society.
