Ram Sarup Ankhiji's first novel was this one, published in 1970 under the title "Parda te Roshni." He himself used to say that he never even thought he could create a significant work like a novel; writing small stories, expressing what came to his heart through storytelling, was his world. Tackling a lengthy work like a novel and then organizing it was something he never even dreamed of. This is the legacy that Autumn Art has passionately presented anew for Punjabi literature.
