Download Katha Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Women's stories in India have been handed down from generation to generation, enriched and embroidered along the way. Political change and the arrival of print culture meant that storytelling was pushed into the background. But in more recent times, these voices have once again come centre-stage - confident, varied and complex. Spanning half a century, this collection covers many languages and cultures, and reflects the vast and complex cultures of the country and its diaspora. It offers a view of the changes that have taken place, both in terms of the subjects women choose to write about and their preferred way of writing about these subjects. From established names such as Mahashveta Devi to the newer generation of young authors, such as Tishani Doshi, Katha brings to the reader a vivid array of voices.

Download The Penguin Book of Modern Indian Short Stories Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Twenty classic short stories from master writers across the country This superb collection contains some of the best Indian short stories written in the last fifty years, both in English and in the regional languages. Some of these stories – ‘We Have Arrived in Amritsar’ by Bhisham Sahni, ‘Companions’ by Raja Rao, ‘The Sky and the Cat’ by U.R. Anantha Murthy, ‘A Devoted Son’ by Anita Desai – have been widely anthologized and are well known. Others, like Premendra Mitra’s ‘The Discovery of Telenapota’, Gangadhar Gadgil’s ‘The Dog that Ran in Circles’, Mowni’s ‘A Loss of Identity’, O.V. Vijayan’s ‘The Wart’ and Devanuru Mahadeva’s ‘Amasa’, are less familiar to readers but are nevertheless classics of the art of the short story. This new and revised edition includes three additional classics: R.K. Narayan’s ‘Another Community’, Avinash Dolas’s ‘The Victim’ and Ismat Chughtai’s ‘The Wedding Shroud’. The Penguin Book of Modern Indian Short Stories is a marvellous and entertaining introduction to the rich diversity of pleasures that the Indian short story–a form that has produced masters in over a dozen languages–can offer.

Download A Normal Indian Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
a Normal Indian is a compilation of short stories of young men and women in India who have faced adversity and have sometimes come out strong and sometimes lost. Each story is unique and has been drawn from the lives of Indians. Some endings are full of hope and positivity, yet others are a little sad and despondent. These stories are meant to address social issues in India and also make you think about them. The young India of today is full of pride, beauty, and love, yet it is marred by social evils like female infanticide, dowry, and youth suicide. These stories revolve around these very realities. You may see a little bit of you in them, or someone close to you may be reflected in them. The aim is to highlight what went wrong and have a conversation among ourselves to make things right! I believe that true change in the social fabric of my India shall only come with these small conversations. These very conversations shall lead to a change of heart and mind#ChangeByTalking. Join me in my journey as a normal Indian, a normal Indian who is opinionated and has views on everything he/she sees and faces, a normal Indian who wants change but sometimes is shackled by that very society he/she lives in! Join me! Regards, Malavika Sharma A Normal Indian

Whether negotiating often-treacherous paths through political and religious upheavals or threading their way through dreams and fantasies, the characters in these stories are vivid and compelling enough to challenge and surprise anyone unfamiliar with Iranian life and literature. From the oppressive atmosphere before the Islamic Revolution of 1979 in Simin Daneshvar's Whom Shall I Greet? to Shahrnoosh Parsipour's mesmerising story of women who blur distinctions between reality and dreams in Crystal Pendants, these tales brim with the inner lives, attitudes and outlooks of women in Iran. 'There is great talent in these stories as well as great courage.' -- Elaine Showalter, Literary Review

Download An Unrestored Woman Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
“What an astonishing collection! Provoking, ferocious, moving, splendid, generous and essential. I seemed to finish the book in a different world than the one in which I began it.” —Kelly Link, author of Get In Trouble and Stranger Things Happen In her mesmerizing debut, Shobha Rao recounts the untold human costs of one of the largest migrations in history. 1947: the Indian subcontinent is partitioned into two separate countries, India and Pakistan. And with one decree, countless lives are changed forever. An Unrestored Woman explores the fault lines in this mass displacement of humanity: a new mother is trapped on the wrong side of the border; a soldier finds the love of his life but is powerless to act on it; an ambitious servant seduces both master and mistress; a young prostitute quietly, inexorably plots revenge on the madam who holds her hostage. Caught in a world of shifting borders, Rao’s characters have reached their tipping points. In paired stories that hail from India and Pakistan to the United States, Italy, and England, we witness the ramifications of the violent uprooting of families, the price they pay over generations, and the uncanny relevance these stories have in our world today.

The stories presented in this collection were written originally in Hindi, way back 20-25 years ago, and published in major Hindi journals of those times - Dharmyug, Saptahik Hindustan, Sarika, Kadambini et al. They were liked by the readers and translated into several Indian languages, too, besides being included in some of the selected works of the year. Later they were picked up by some friends for translation into English and, subsequently, found place in some major English literary journals - Indian Literature, The Statesman, National Herald, The Heritage and the like. Free from all tall talk, most of these short stories tell the tales of joys and merriments, torments and trepidations and the dreams and realities of common people.
