The modern Indian short story, as we understand it today, came into its own in the nineteenth century, and has since then scripted a rich history for itself. Rupa Kahani showcases this popular genre of literature, featuring select works of masters of the form, across centuries and locations. These stories were written originally in Punjabi and have been transcreated into English by the author himself, with no loss to the spirit and rhythms of the originals. They stand out for their thematic variety as also as registrations of contemporary problems ---notably the spurt of militancy in Punjab.Short, crisp, with the veritable twist in the end, the stories reflect the author's maturity and sensitivity as a seasoned practitioner of the genre.
