Raag Marva (Hindi Edition)

Mamta Singh is a new emerging face among the new generation active in the world of short stories. The essence of her writing process is a shift from the present to the past and a leap from the past to the future. Mamtas core narrative voice is rooted in the love and discord of relationships, the movement in the world of memories, and the constant confrontation with old values. Her characters stand in a new era, yet are constantly confronted with the morals and beliefs of the past. When they are about to break down in this encounter, they slip into the enchanting alleys of the past as an escape. - Dhirendra Asthana, senior Hindi writer. Raag Marwa comprises ten long stories. Each one describes the rapid changes in society, whether good or bad, in a direct and clear tone. Her story, Aakhri Contract, in particular, poignantly depicts the intolerance and spreading terror in our country.
