"Parti Parikatha" (Story of the Barren soil), is a Hindi novel written by Phanishwar Nath Renu. The story revolves around a motley group of characters in a remote village of North Eastern Bihar in the backdrop of Zamindari (landlordism) Abolition movement. Along with Maila Anchal, it is considered Phanishwar Nath Renu's, finest work with a strong sense rural ethos reflected in the language and the idiom used the text, most noticable for its use of visual language, like its opening line -
"Meelon tak faili banjar ret, jaise qafan odhe hui dharti" [ [http://passionforcinema.com/premchandrenu-and-rural-india/ Premchand, Renu and Rural India…] ]
