🖋️ About The Book

This insightful collection of short stories, translated into Marathi by Dr. Vasudev Joglekar and Radha Joglekar, opens a window into the social and cultural life of Odisha. Written in simple, heartfelt language, these stories portray the emotions, struggles, and realities embedded in everyday life.

From rural settings to political undercurrents, the narratives delve deep into themes such as middle-class philosophy, casteism, societal riots, and the consequences faced by the marginalized sections. Each story is a mirror reflecting a different facet of life—be it the complex web of social injustice or the quiet dignity of the people who endure it.

A special reverence for Shri Jagannath and the people of Odisha runs through these stories, infusing them with spiritual depth and cultural authenticity. The translators have succeeded in preserving the soul and emotional richness of the original works, bringing them meaningfully into the Marathi literary space.

A must-read for anyone interested in regional Indian narratives, social commentary, and cross-cultural understanding, this book is both literary and enlightening.
