The well known Orissan writer Mayadhar Nayak's writings introduce a new dimension to the post-independence era. They depict the disarrayed social order, aborted democracy, endangered life-values, and confounded leadership. Pioneer of infusing socio-political vibes into modern Oriya Literature, his consistent endeavour to desist from the stereotyped creativity has brought in brave, uncompromising characters who are not imprisoned within the clutches of circumstances. They are advocates of collectivity. He has been successful in promoting such neglected presentation. In his stories the characters are in incessant search for new horizons, leaving their own homeland, mountains, fields and forests, villages, rivers and suburbs behind.
