Kashinath Singh draws energy from the people for his writing. He is a storyteller who understands the importance of life. He never liked the artificiality of art, preferring to speak the truth directly, and that is why his pen made timeless works like Kashi Ka Assi possible. Conversations with Kashinath Singh are crucial not only for understanding the writers world but also for understanding the secrets of his art. This collection of periodic conversations with Kashinath Singh would be more appropriately called batakhai, because Kashinath Singh is a storyteller of the people who believe in the flow of ideas. The nearly two dozen conversations collected here illuminate Kashinath Singhs personality and his creative concerns. While the broader debates and questions about ideology, politics, and society sharpen these conversations, the essence of the art of prose also makes them remarkable. Several conversations are presented here about several of his later works, such as Raghu on Mortgage, Mahua Charit, and Upsanhaar. Standing out above all these is Kashinath Singhs conversation in the Banaras dialect. Straightforward, truthful words, and the confidence to say it out loud if it doesnt fit. This conversation offers the rare pleasure of intimate conversation in our communication-deprived times. In this conversation, the narrator engages with the reader, just as people in villages warm themselves by a bonfire in the icy winds, discussing their joys and sorrows. Come, lets join in this conversation and enjoy the conversation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rajkamal Prakashan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45877352136902,"sku":"DADAX9392757549","price":18.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/9389\/1014\/files\/71Ues7a_35L.jpg?v=1779651294","url":"https:\/\/ergodemedia.com\/products\/batein-hain-baton-ka-kya-batkahiyan-kathakar-ki","provider":"Ergodemedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
