I follow Khushwant Singh more as a great political analyst than a story-writer..he is notoriously known for his hard and straight-forward remarks.
Along with this he is also rightly credited for keeping alive some of the classic short-stories through his collections.
Bottom-pincher is fun-rider. But it is also a proof enough that this man-despite being comfortable with fleshy things-can not be entrusted to write an erotic story.
Good work...keep it up !!!
Prashant C. Trikannad-I liked his story very much-I hope you have power, thanks very much
Rohan-I have read only three of his short stories-I can see why he would be regarded as a very bold political writer-and thanks very much
Valerie Sirr-yes it is a good story of revenge and a satire on the male point of view-thanks very much
The Indian short story is extraordinary in its ability to stick to the traditional rules of the craft and still demonstrate remarkable originality. It revolves around a limited number of characters, confines itself in time and space, and has a well-plotted narrative that drives its central theme. Within the traditional framework, however, creativity flowers and a fresh and imaginative story emerges. This volume is chock-full with such stories, written by authors well known in their regional languages as well as those who have made a name for themselves in English literary circles. Carefully selected by India's literary giant, the late Khushwant Singh, these pieces represent the best of Indian writing from around the country.
The matchless stories of Saadat Hasan Manto, the greatest short story writer in the Urdu language, round off this collection. In addition to his most famous story, 'Toba Tek Singh', the selection includes ten other sketches and stories in which Manto turns his unflinching gaze on history's criminals, victims and unlikely heroes.
Especially after Rolfe Arnold Scott-James took over as editor in 1934, the magazine increasingly featured short stories and poetry by Indian writers. It also included survey articles and reviews by Indian writers on topics such as Indian art and Indian literature. Reviews of books on India were also increasingly published by the journal. The journal absorbed The Bookman in 1934. In the late 1930s, the magazine ran into financial difficulties. The last issue was published in April 1939, after which the journal was absorbed into Life and Letters Today.
The journal included notices about the activities of the NIA, pieces about Indian affairs, information about Indian students, reviews of books about India and (rarely) poems or short stories. In 1896, the Society for the Encouragement and Preservation of Indian Art adopted The Indian Magazine as its mouthpiece and contributed articles on artistic matters.
