Sunita Maheshwari’s Award-Winning Hindi Poetry Collection Celebrates Life’s Multicolored Emotions

Sunita Maheshwari’s अर्पण (Arpan) is not just a poetry collection—it’s a vibrant tapestry woven with threads of bhakti (devotion), rashtriyata (patriotism), and samajik chetna (social awakening). With a 3.9/5 star rating from 36 reviewers on Kindle, this Hindi edition has resonated deeply with readers seeking lyrical depth and contemporary relevance.

Why This Book Stands Out

  1. Thematic Richness: Organized into seven sections—from Ish-bhakti (divine love) to Vyanga-Hasya (satire)—each poem is a petal in a larger "emotional bouquet."
  2. Social Mirror: Maheshwari’s verses tackle:
    • Gender Inequality: "कन्याओं की कमी कर क्या दुराचार बढ़ाओगे?" (How will you curb evil by erasing daughters?)
    • Ecology: A chilling warning about polluting the Ganga.
    • Blind Faith: Witty takedowns of "बाबाओं के दरबार" (godmen’s courts).
  3. Rhythmic Craft: Traditional chhand (meters) blend with free verse, making it accessible yet profound.

Standout Excerpts

  • Devotion: "वंदन करूँ माँ शारदे... तू ज्ञान देकर तार दे" (O Goddess Saraswati, bless us with wisdom).
  • Patriotism: "स्वच्छ भारत, सुन्दर भारत" echoes Modi’s Clean India Mission.
  • Nature: The Ganga’s lament as both life-giver and future avenger.

Author’s Voice

Maheshwari—a Sahitya Akademi nominee—writes with a rare balance of compassion and critique. Her background in social work shines through lines that educate without preaching.
