Ramnath Sahu

Shri Ramnath Sahu is a noted Chhattisgarhi writer. He was born on 20 May 1963 at Dewarghata Dabhara, District -Janjgir Champa (CG). Late Shri Premnath Sahu and Smt. Nand Bai Sahu are his parents.   He has written six Chhattisgarhi novels- Kaka Ke Ghar (The hut of the uncle), Bhuinya (The Land), Mati Ke Bartan (The earthen wares), Janki, Pakhara Le Uthe Aagi(The fire along with the stones) and Sonkamal are his Chhattisgarhi novels.   Gati-mukti (The Salvation) and Dudh -Poot (Milk and the son) are two-story collections. Jaage Jaage sutiha go! (Sleep but a little awake) and 'Hardi Pinyar Jhanga Paga' (The turmeric yellow coloured nuptial garments) are his Chhattisgarhi drama book.  Three English novels 'The Cool Land' and 'The Little Sister of the Holy Mahanadi' and 'The Clay Doll' are also published. 'Bhoomi (novel) ',  'Manokamna(novel) '   and 'Footpath wala ( flash -fictions)' are his published Hindi writings.   In his writings the lifestyles and struggles of the people, being at the lowest rung in the social hierarchy, are well picturised. Their life-philosophy, humiliation, compassion, friendship, love-hater, envy etc. get their shapes and sizes. While peeking in to the future with a scientific vision, is his next forte! He has his own unique style to elaborate the content. His mostly narrations seem lyrical.
