Aprem Aur Anya Kahaniyan (Hindi) by Anil Yadav [Paperback]

The stories included in this collection expose the growing darkness of injustice and inequality in our world, along with the ostentatious nature of consumerist society, its deceptive allure, and the frustration and disillusionment it creates. Here, the crises of politics, corporate influence, religion, and the environment unfold through a new literary craft and a strikingly unique language, revealing both human and inhuman relationships.  

Craft, in this context, does not imply mere linguistic acrobatics where the knots of tradition, the complexities of history, and the realities of an ordinary person’s life are absent. Instead, these stories, while navigating their own unfamiliar and challenging paths, seamlessly move through basements, ruined alleyways, slums, forests, cemeteries and cremation grounds, towering multi-story buildings, and even beehives with equal ease.
