Mannu Bhandari (1931-2021) was an Indian author, screenplay writer, teacher, and playwright.  Primarily known for her two Hindi novels, Aap Ka Bunty (Your Bunty) and Mahabhoj (Feast), Bhandari also wrote over 150 short stories, several other novels, screenplays for television and film, and adaptations for theater.  She was a pioneer of the Nayi Kahani movement in Hindi literature, which focused on the aspirations of the emerging Indian middle class, and her own work is particularly notable for its depiction of the inner lives of middle class working and educated women.  Her work tackles themes of family, relationships, gender equality, and caste discrimination in India.

Bhandari's writing has been extensively adapted for film and stage, including productions for Doordarshan, the BBC, and the National School of Drama in India.  Her work has been widely translated into other Indian languages from Hindi, as well as French, German and English.  She has received numerous awards in India for her work.  She is one of the most notable writers in 21st century Hindi literature.  Source: Wikipedia.
