SUDHAR GHAR He has depicted the Exploitative and Destructive character of third Agency of Criminal Justice System i.e. Jail Administration, in the novel Sudhar Ghar. Crime theories conclude that no one is born as a criminal. Only circumstances compel one to commit the crime. Criminologists suggest that with persuasion and corrective methods, even hardened criminals can be reformed and rehabilitated in the society as good citizens. The Jail Administration, like Police and Judiciary, has forgotten its basic duty. The prisons (sudhar ghars) have changed themselves to Bhagiarghar (ਬਘਿਆੜਘਰ) or Vigarghar (ਵਿਗਾੜਘਰ). Why? Sudhar Ghar novel has beautifully answered these questions. Like his previous creations, this novel has also got the attention of all concerned. In reorganization of its merit, Sahit Academy New Delhi awarded him the prestigious Sahit Academy Award in 2008. Up to now 6 editions of this novel have been published.
