Sant Singh Sekhon (1908–1997) was a Punjabi playwright and fiction writer. He is part of the generation of Indian authors who mark the transition of India into an independent nation, scarred by the tragedies of partition. ==Life== Sekhon was born in Lyallpur, Punjab (present-day Pakistan), and grew up in his father's village in Dakha,near Ludhiana. His father was an idealist but introverted while his mother was more practical and religious, practicing Sikh ''Singh Sabha''. There was considerable marital discord in the family which colours many of his stories. Sekhon eventually graduated with master's degrees in Economics and also in English. In the 1930s, he started writing in English, and after some initial publications including some in shared publications with W.H. Auden and Stephen Spender.〔http://www.museindia.com/showauthor1.asp?id=83〕 But given the greater audience in Punjabi, he shifted to Punjabi, and initially made a mark as a playwright. Along with many South-Asian littérateurs of his generation (Faiz Ahmed Faiz, Harivansh Rai Bachchan, Buddhadev Bose), he taught English but wrote in an Indian language. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sant Singh Sekhon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
