Hada’s book ‘Pachrang Chola Pahar Sakhi Ri’ focuses on the life of medieval devotee poet Meera. In his book, Hada explores the processes of Meera’s image formation. Keeping in view the historical facts, the author argues that Meera’s place is not limited to the singular domain of history, narrative, folk and poetry — she is mixed in all of them and therefore her reinterpretation is necessary even though complex. The book, which explores Meera’s life and society through a new perspective and is a new starting point for identifying her place in the field of Hindi literary criticism.
