Chhayavadi Yug
The phase of Chhayavad descended upon Hindi literature by 1922 and lasted till 1938. The era was marked by a swerve away from usual didacticism and formalism and towards romanticism and humanist temperament in the work of writers. The writings from the period verbosely display a newfound sense of self-expression, molding a personalized theme in its essence. The period also drew a substantial influence from the happenings of its surroundings, which points towards the freedom struggle of the age. The poets of the Chhayavad generation seemed to profoundly tie an emotional connection with the cause of national freedom. Their poetries called upon the vast ancient culture of the nation, its tall-standing heritage, and the solemnity of Indian history. A magnificent glimpse of this expression can be felt in the lines of Jayshankar Prasad's "Himadri Tung Shring Se".Four Pillars Of Chhayavaad
The era witnessed the rise of many great minds and poets, all leaving a dignified mark on the world of Hindi literature. But amongst them, four of the poets were deemed as the Four Pillars (Char Stambh) of Chayavadi school in Hindi Literature.
