as the famous author, rajendra yadav says, maitreyi pushpa has released hindi literature from the closed and suffocating atmosphere of cities into the open spaces of villages and fields, in a way that no hindi writer has done before. she has given new definitions to both our bookish titles and language. after independence, maitreyi's work would be the third name after rangey raghav and phanishwar nath 'renu' which has burst into the skies of literature like a comet.
