In 1947 and then in 1971 in the South Asian subcontinent, entire communities crossed newly-created borders to find new homes as partitions divided and reshaped countries.
This novel tells the story of Dalits belonging to the Matua who settled around a local water body–Andhar Bil–in a new nation.

A bohemian and an iconoclast, the figure of Saadat Hasan Manto looms large over the literature of the Indian subcontinent.
📚🔥
This inspired selection of Manto’s best-known stories along with those less talked about showcase an astonishing writer being true to his calling.
📚💜
Kazi Nazrul Islam (1899-1976) is widely remembered as the fiery iconoclast who fought against the structures of oppression and orthodoxy.
📚
