Bhagvanbhai H. Chaudhari in his article "Chunilala Madia's Liludi Dharati: A Narrative centered on Saurastra Region" mentions that though Chunilal Madia wanted to develop the novel a [chronicle](/wiki/Chronicle "Chronicle"), however he fails as "characters portrayed in novel Liludi Dharati does not manifest the universal life incorporating the constant changing nature" However since as society or destiny are shown as the central elements which manage the entire human life, the novel shows the vague form of plot called chronicle. Critic Nalin Raval considered it a time\-dominated or period novel.

Critic Dilavarsinh Jadeja opines that "the true picture of bare reality of rural life and the emphasis towards it should be considered Madiya's specialty among Gujarati novelists".


How does Dilavarsinh Jadeja consider Chunilal Madia's work in terms of its portrayal of rural life?
