But it’s destroyed during its journey via the streets of our dark, corrupt, low-value and immoral lives. The chariot of the Sun has to move forward, always. The truth, faith and bravery lead the soul to the light in the same way the seven horses lead the chariot of the Sun. As per him, despite of all the darkness and sadness, there is something that inspires to light up the dark, lead to the good. If you are wondering what Suraj Ka Satwan Ghoda means then Bharati ji has described it in a very beautiful manner. All because of money or their low values. Their characters seem to be weak and they end up betraying the people around. All the people in the novel tend to do injustice to humanity. And this phenomenon has led the entire class to darkness, immorality, inhumanity and apathy. According to Bharati, economy is more important to Indian lower-middle-class people than love or any other emotion. This novel is all about Indian lower-middle-class people. Unlike Gunahon Ka Devta, Suraj Ka Satwan Ghoda has nothing to do with sacred love and commitment. Manik Mulla tells the conclusion on seventh noon and novel ends. All the seven stories prove to be a part of a single story in the end. He tells seven stories on seven consecutive noons. Manik Mulla pulls the book from Bharati’s hands, saying, “You can’t read others’ stories in a story-teller’s house!” And this is how Manik Mulla starts telling the stories. Some of the friends are playing cards, some are laying on the floor, doing nothing. A group of friends (including Bharati) gathers at Manik Mulla’s house. Manik is a famous personality of the colony Bharati lives in. The novel starts with an introduction of Manik Mulla, the protagonist of the novel. The place of the events is Allahabad (I suppose) and the time is immediately after India’s independence from the Britain (~1950). Bharati have split the story of the novel in seven short stories.īharati, himself, is the story-teller. Today, in twentieth century we may have read novels with similar way of story-telling but for a Hindi novel that first published in 1952, it must have been quite revolutionary. Bharati has told the story in Suraj Ka Satwan Ghoda is very much different from the conventional story-telling style. And I must say this short-novel over-delivered on my very high expectations.

Since Suraj Ka Satwan Ghoda is much more acclaimed novel than Gunahon Ka Devta, my expectations were much higher. The novel is one of my favourite Hindi novels. I had read Dharamvir Bharati's Gunahon Ka Devta around three years ago.
