    In his most appreciated Hindi novels 'Nadi Phir Bah Chali'(1963) and 'Lohe Ke Pankh'(1956)Hindi novelist Himanshu Shrivastava had potrayed in most effective style and in very sensitive manner about his native village Haraji.He had presented every minutes details of local custom, socio-economic structure, local beliefs, myths and social class distribution.His ancestors were local zamindars and their succesors as told him about the roots of clan, the chilhood's memoirs and social perception of land and people modified him into a classic Hindi novelist among contemporary literary works.Like Premchand, he had selected realistic pattern of his creative background for narrating the characters and events.When he had visited Haraji in 1991 after a long lapses, he was very happy.His ancestral house is now in ruined condition and a few relatives of him are living there.It is true that the entire village community remembers him as son of the soil.

    He was such a great novelist and scholar of bihar state. But it is very unfortunate that he is never remembered by and media or government.
