Contemporary Indian Short Stories

Series II

Summary
This sheaf of twenty-two short stories, written by different authors, mainly during the period 1930-50, represents a cross-section of contemporary Indian short fiction. Twenty stories are translations from fourteen modern languages of India and two are specimens of Indian Creative Writing in English. Selected by the Sahitya Akademi's Advisory Boards of various languages, these stories provide fascinating glimpses into the panorama of Indian life, with its baffling variety, its rich contrasts of the simple and the sophisticated, the Ancient and the modern. Here is evidence, if such were needed, that Indian literature is one though written in many languages-its oneness consisting not of a stale uniformity but of a rich variety. This is the second volume of Sahitya Akademi series of such representative anthologies in English of contemporary Indian short story. The third volume of nineteen short stories written by different authors has also been published.
