This collection of contemporary short stories has been edited by Khushwant Singh. Unlike most other short story collections that usually have a common theme through them, this one has a whole range of stories in one thin book. Ranging from folk tales to the futuristic sci-fi types. Not suprisingly, most of them are not even based in India nor are they based on Indians. I personally like both the sci-fi ones, although I hardly read that genre.
Like Mr Singh mentions in the introduction, we might not have produced great novelists or writers, but we sure have some really great short story writers.
