MANOJ DHIMAN AUTHORS TWO MORE HINDI FICTION BOOKS ‘RAZ KI BAAT’ AND ‘MAHAMANAV’, TAKE HIS PUBLISHED HINDI BOOKS TO TEN

Face2News/Ludhiana,

City-based journalist and author Manoj Dhiman has added two more Hindi fiction books to his literary portfolio with the publication of `Raz Ki Baat’ a collection of short stories and `Mahamanav’ a novel. With the publication of these two books Dhiman has now authored ten books in Hindi.

Professor (Dr.) Sunil Head of the Department of Hindi and Dean Faculty of Languages at Guru Nanak Dev University Amritsar has written the preface to both books.

`Raz Ki Baat’ comprises Hindi short stories dealing with diverse subjects including politics, corruption, human relationships and other contemporary social issues. `Mahamanav’ is a technology-based novel centred on the concept of humanoids. The novel marks Dhiman’s second literary work exploring technology and its impact on human life. His earlier technology-based novel `Dharti Par Laute Aabhasi Duniya Ke Avatar’ was published in 2025.

Both books have been published by New World Publication New Delhi. Dhiman has dedicated both books to the memory of his late father H.R. Dhiman who was a journalist and played an important role in shaping his early interest in writing.

Speaking about his latest books Dhiman said, “For me writing is a continuous journey of observation reflection and exploration. Through my stories I try to look at contemporary society and human relationships while my novels also allow me to explore the changing relationship between humans and technology. I am particularly happy that Raz Ki Baat and Mahamanav have given me an opportunity to present two different dimensions of my creative journey.”

Dhiman’s literary journey began with Late Night Party a short story collection published in 2007. The book was released in Ludhiana by former CBI Director Late Joginder Singh and its English translation was subsequently published. His other published works include `Barish Ki Boonden’ a poetry collection published in 2009; `Shunya Ki Or’ a novel published in 2012; `Yeh Makan Bikau Hai’ a short story collection published in 2021; `Khol Kar Dekho’ a short story collection published in 2022; `Jagte Raho’ a short story collection published in 2024; `Birju Nai Ki Dukan’ a novel published in 2024; and `Dharti Par Laute Aabhasi Duniya Ke Avatar’ a technology-based novel published in 2025.
Guru Nanak Dev University Amritsar included Dhiman on its Board of Studies (PG) in Hindi for the period from July 1 2024 to June 30 2026.

During 2026 an analytical study of Dhiman’s short story collection `Jagte Raho’ was undertaken at Guru Nanak Dev University in the form of a short research dissertation.
