iS there something special about the Indian short story? Yes, there is. It sticks to the traditional rules of the craft. It is in fact short and not a novella or an abridged novel. It revolves round one or at the most two or three characters and does not have a long dramatis personae as in novels. It is limited in time and space and does not span decades or spread out in different locales. It also has a well- formulated central theme and does not touch upon several topics or clashes of personalities. It has a distinct beginning, a build-up and usually a dramatic end, frequently an unexpected one which sums up the story.

In this anthology you will read stories by many writers well-known in their regional languages as well as those who made names for themselves in English literary circles. Between them they represent every part of the country from north to the deep south, from its eastern borders along Bangladesh to its western frontier with Pakistan. Almost every regional language is represented.
