About The Book

In the name of development, many challenges that once plagued villages seem to be re-emerging, creating new concerns for the ordinary villagers who bear the brunt of these changes. The stark economic disparity between urban and rural areas amplifies this problem, and the ugly reality of the "Imla and Paya" culture comes to the forefront, stirring discomfort and fear in the hearts of the villagers.

The stories in this collection focus on the deep-rooted problems of village life, where people find themselves caught in the clutches of economic disparity and social unrest. Despite their attempts to break free from the oppressive conditions of their surroundings, they remain tied to the village, to the Nala that symbolizes their connection to a system they can neither escape nor reform.

As the narratives unfold, they reflect the chilling reality of a rural existence that is forever haunted by its historical and cultural burdens. The starkness of this truth, woven with rich emotion and insight, explores how development, rather than being a solution, sometimes exacerbates the very problems it seeks to address.
