After February 1960 his works started getting published regularly.
He considered Do Haath published by Kahani (Allahabad) as his first published work.
He wrote a few novels based on the life of families and societies as well.
But just portraying the society, or ridiculing its flaws and dilemmas was not going to satisfy him.
He realised, that literature cannot reach its ultimate goal just by a narrow, partial and limited display of society, nor can the society benefit from such literature.
The demonstration of poor human qualities will only encourage the evil and the foul.
Therefore, it must be the goal of literature to demonstrate the great, honourable and moral aspect of life, he believed.
Todo, Kara Todo is a novel based on the life of Swami Vivekananda.
One reviewer called it the best on this topic in any of the languages so far.

It has been described by critics as a manifesto of a cultural revolution and an epic of human endurance and endeavour.

He completed his MA in 1963 at Ramjas College (University of Delhi), and in 1970, received his PhD from the University of Delhi.
