Chandigarh: ‘Panjab Musical And Hymns Beyond’, a book by young local author Madhav Setia released here on Thursday.
The book is a lyrical homage to the land of five rivers. In this remarkable work of poetry and prose, Setia who is 25 , captures the heartbeat of Punjab—its sounds, colors, textures, and memories—with an elegance that bridges continents and generations
Madhav said,” The book delivers a stirring and original tribute to his ancestral homeland. More than just a collection of poetry, this landmark work is a cultural event in itself. It would only be fair to describe this book as a lyrical bridge between memory, tradition and timelessness,”
Having masterfully weaved verses inspired by the land where he spent his childhood summers and winters, Setia writes a book that does what few literary works have dared, it brings the soul of Punjab to the global literary limelight, not as a relic of the past but as a living, breathing symphony of belonging.
According to Madhav, , through poetic storytelling, the book serves as both a personal memoir and a collective portrait of the Punjabi diaspora.
“It speaks to every reader who has ever longed for a homeland, who has ever felt the pull of their lineage, and who has ever known the sound of music carried by memory.”
The book positions Punjab as a cultural epicentre in global literature, showcasing its rhythms, resilience and reverence like never before, he said.
Book invites readers into an immersive journey through Punjab's cultural landscape. Each page reverberates with deep nostalgia and nuanced identity as he weaves together personal recollections with broader reflections on belonging and displacement.
Published by Unistar Books Pvt. Ltd., the book is now available at leading bookstores and online platforms.
