In 2016, On Air Force Day, Air Chief Marshal Arup Raha released the Hindi translation of ‘Ghar’[1] at an event in New Delhi. ‘Kunwar Viyogi’ received Sahitya Akademi Award in 1980 at the age of 40 for his book of long Dogri Poem titled ‘Ghar’. He used ‘Ghar’ (Home) as a peg and stringed together 238 four lines verses embracing a wide variety of subjects and ideas and feelings into a long poem. It was quite a unique composition that managed to weave all the nuances of our worldly existence and its context and axis being the Home (Ghar). It presented something new to literature not only in Dogri but in Indian literary horizon, a fresh deep thought was introduced and in such lyrical precision and balance. 'Ghar' is used as a symbol of the centre of life, our hopes and fears, anxieties, achievements and failures, dreams and also a symphony of love.
