🖋️ About The Book

This enriching collection of 19 short stories by V. S. Khandekar reflects the cultural and moral turbulence that emerged in the aftermath of World War II and India’s independence. At a time when materialism was increasingly influencing society, eroding age-old values and ethical standards, these stories act as a moral compass—reminding readers of the essential virtues of humanity.

Khandekar, with his characteristic literary brilliance, explores the deep psychological and social impact of the changing world. Each story is a subtle protest against the corrosion of values and a call to preserve mental well-being, cultural ethics, and spiritual resilience amidst social transformation.

Ideal for readers who value meaningful literature with a moral undertone, this collection offers timeless relevance, encouraging introspection and social responsibility. A must-have for Marathi literature lovers seeking substance and thoughtfulness in storytelling.
