Amrita Pritam's ideas were unusual; her paths modern. Her ‘ideal’ was constructive, no destructive. Like her poems, in her short-stories too she was seen to be giving a ‘message’ to her readers. Her message was one of life and love. thewire.in/books/amrita-prit…

Amrita Pritam at 100: Political, Progressive and a True Pioneer
