Best Loved Indian Stories - II

An anthology that reveals the immense diversity of Indian literature.

The rich and varied body of writing in the Indian languages has grown immeasurably in the last hundred years. This collection of short stories brings together some perennial favourites from this vast treasure trove, written by acknowledgement masters of the art and sensitively translated.

The twenty-three stories included here deal with themes central to modern India: caste, gender politics and emerging changes in the traditional family structure. These are striking vignettes from all parts of the country, evocative of different lifestyles yet reflective of common problems and issues with which we can all identify.
