{"product_id":"pali","title":"Pali","description":"\u003cp\u003ePali: Although Bhisham Sahnis sense of reality often examines society with a piercing gaze, he never seems to shy away from compassion. The surge of compassion here is so natural that the reader is filled with deep inner pain, and the just reconstruction of society seems inevitable. This collection (first published in 1989) also contains some stories that evoke memories of Partition, the most prominent of which is Pali. The maturity of compassion in this story is incredibly poignant. A small child, separated from his parents while migrating from Pakistan to India, remains there and becomes the darling of Muslim parents. Five or six years later, he is brought back to India to be with his parents. This story, exposing the hollowness of identities like Hindu-Muslim, etc., repeatedly touches the heart of the reader. Voices, another significant story in this collection, describes in a fascinating way the process of settlement and growth of refugees who arrived in India after Partition. From the foundations of homes being laid to their multi-story construction and rental completion, the collection comprises eleven stories that explore the mind and humanity from different angles.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rajkamal Prakashan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45875441860806,"sku":"DADAX8126703342","price":6.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/9389\/1014\/files\/61RagXtXDiL.jpg?v=1779606912","url":"https:\/\/ergodemedia.com\/products\/pali","provider":"Ergodemedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
