This collection of short stories spans two and a half millennia, exploring the history and soul of India. The narratives feature marginalized individuals who are victims and witnesses of societal upheavals, yet not the orchestrators, echoing Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay’s concept of ‘the history of the silent mass.’ The author delves into India’s essence and inevitable shortcomings, offering significant thematic depth. As the stories unfold across changing times, the language adapts to capture the evolving historical landscape.
