Kashmiri Short Stories
The short story emerged in
the Kashmiri language in 1950 as a literary form
distinct from the centuries, old folk tale,
fable and parable. During the past forty-six
years, it has been accepting the influence of
all the experiments in the technique of the
shorter fiction. The three distinguishable
phases in Kashmiri short story faithfully
reflect the changing life patterns of the
Kashmiris and the related cultural framework.
Through a spectrum of characters and events the
twenty five short stories in this volume image
the subjective reality of the individuals as
well as the social ambience that circumscribes
them.
