Description

The stories presented in this volume give us a fair glimpse of Dogra land and culture - its topography, human problems and beliefs and beliefs and values of the people.

The short story genre is comparatively a new entrant in Dogri literature. It has a well chartered and interesting terrain just like the region from which it has emerged. The first short story collection in Dogri was published as late as 1947.

The stories included in this collection hold a mirror to the contemporary Dogra society.
