Sohan Singh Seetal (1909-1998[1]) was an Indian writer, poet and lyricist of Punjabi language.
[2] Seetal, Sohan Singh entered the field of literary creation after 1947.
Among these Dive di Lo (The Flame of the Earthen Lamp), Mul da Mas (Flesh at a Price) and Badla (Revenge) deal with the eternal problem of the woman about which most Indian writers and artistes cannot help being sentimental.
Both are reformist and sentimental to start with and then grow into realists in their later work but while Nanak Singh tends towards a kind of Gandhian Socialism, Seetal's concern with the peasant's life takes a populist form.
His novel Jug Badal Gaya won the Sahitya Akademi Award in 1974.
