The Big Heart

It is a novel about a village of artisans in Amritsar District in the early 1940s whose livelihood is destroyed by the establishment of a factory producing copper utensils.

The man with a big heart, Ananta, who has had the experience of participating in the Gandhian struggle for freedom in Bombay, arrives in Amritsar.

The cause behind all this, is that, two Chowdaries - Muralidhar and Gokul Chand set up a factory, which has rendered the local coppersmiths jobless and hopeless.

Ananta, while coming from Bombay, accompanies a woman, Janaki, and keeps her as his mistress and enjoys romance.

Satyapal, Puran Bhagat Singh, and Ralia all play their role in the struggle against the capitalists in their own way.
