'''''Dalkhithi Saav Chhutan''''' ([[Gujarati language|Gujarati]]: ડાળખીથી સાવ છૂટાં) (English: Severed From Its Branch) is a collection of committed poetry in Gujarati written by [[Ashok Chavda|Ashok Chavda 'Bedil']]. The book won the Yuva Puraskar (2013) instituted by [[Sahitya Akademi]], [[New Delhi]]. The book consists of deep and intense emotions of the poet expressed in different forms of poetry such as [[ghazal]], [[Geet (song)|Geet]], and [[free verse]]. The poems in this book deal with social issues in [[India]], such as [[Dalit|castism]] and [[untouchability]].<br />
<br />
== Content ==<br />
The book consists of 24 ghazals, 3 muktaks, 15 geets, and 10 free verses. Most of the ghazals of this book have been composed in [[Arabic prosody#Meter|Arabic meters]] 'Khafif', 'Ramal' and '[[Hazaj meter|Hazaj]]'. All the poems in this book are centered around the deep-rooted caste system of the country and the shattered dreams of [[Dalit]] - the historical and social tragedy that has been passed on from generation to generation.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Chauhan|first=Sudha|date=September 2015|title=Dalkhi Thi Saav Chhutan|journal=Parab}}</ref><br />

[[Chandrakant Topiwala]] noted in ''Samipe'' (May 2014 Issue), the satire in a shear-like ''Hari nu ghar aam hoy chhe kevu?, Kem puchhi shakaay harijan thi?'' which reaches a height of poetry of Chakhoba.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Topiwala|first=Chandrakant|date=May 2014|title=Patracharya|journal=Samipe}}</ref><br />
