Remembering Preet Nagar

Foreword S. Gurbax Singh made a rare contribution to Panjabi literature. This contribution became more remarkable due to Preet Lari. Preet Nagar at that time had become a great centre for Indian writers. The partition not only bifurcated our Panjabi culture but also crippled our joint literary heritage. It was the dream of S. Gurbax Singh "Preet Lari" that Preet Nagar should become the fountain head of Indian literature. "Preet Lari" and Preet Nagar constituted an ideal world of Daar ji's dream. 'Preet Lari' performed a vital role in Panjab in the spread of a scientific outlook.
