Sukha Patta, published in the year 1959, is considered a special achievement not only of Amarkant but of the entire novel literature written during that period. The town environment of eastern Uttar Pradesh before independence and its teenage story-hero Krishna have been depicted here in an extraordinary form. In this novel, in the form of Krishna's friend Manmohan, there is a sharp attack on the mental distortions of adolescence, the weaknesses of the immature young mind in the name of Krishna's 'revolutionary' inclination and the anti-human stereotypes of the society with the help of Krishna-Urmila-love story.
