Pratinidhi Kahaniyan : Chandrakanta

Chandrakanta is quite popular in the Hindi world for her prolific Kashmir-centric fiction. In her stories, she paints a contemporary picture of the Kashmir crisis immediately after Partition, the atmosphere of Kashmir scorched by terrorism in the name of jihad, and the suffering of its people. She doesnt stop at merely depicting the status quo, but instead creates characters brimming with love, faith, and humanity, raising a strong voice against fanaticism and violence. Not only Kashmir, but Chandrakanta incorporates into her stories every human tragedy that arouses and stirs the heart of a sensitive writer. She puts the corrupt system and the anti-human apparatus in the dock, which have buried the inner feelings of humanity, surrounded by conflicts on all sides in a rapidly changing society. In the confrontation between the individual and the system, she examines every adverse situation and tendency with complete commitment. Thereafter, she explores the facts that can save the conscience of man from dying and thus the concern of preserving mans dreams, feelings and memories for a better tomorrow becomes the starting point of Chandrakantas stories.
