Hansney Academy Friday organised a program to discuss late Keshav Raj Pindali’s novels on his 83rd birth anniversary in the capital, published reports said Saturday.

Professor Mohan Raj Sharma gave the audience an insight into the remarkable versatility of Pindali’s works. “Humour and satire was his forte but his brilliance as a novelist has often been underrated,” Sharma said.

Pindali gained popularity for his portrayal of realistic characters, flashback technique, political backdrop and character-centered plots, the reports said.
