5.0
A compendium 10 short poignant stories written by #moushumikandali translated from the Assamese by #parbinarashid , searing stories written in a poetic prose, extremely haunting and anguishing. One feels the pain the lyrical language expresses. Even kindles the rage to be aware of the ghastly atrocities committed to the people in the 7 sister states of India: Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Assam, Manipur, Nagaland, Tripura Mizoram and Sikkim; collectively known as Northeast India. They are connected to rest of India via the Chicken’s neck (Siliguri corridor). Amalgamation of cultures, languages, lush terrains, rich in nature, tribal diversity and born from Bharat Mata yet they are alienated from the rest of the country.

A book with 10 powerful stories that will make you go through racial and social discrimination against women.
The author has focused on the North eastern part of the country and has explored the experiences of the Assamese women. From sexual harassment to physical abuse, these stories talk about everything a women suffers.
With the blend of surrealism , myth and fables the stories are beautifully written and narrated. I absolutely enjoyed reading the book.
Definitely recommended
