ABSTRACT
All the six short stories in this section mirror the pain and turmoil of the city of Calcutta in the 70s when Naxal Movement was at its peak.
Ani [in Ani] is that rare individual-the locus classicus-who clinically distils the agony and the dilemma of the young protagonists of 1970-71 and invests the denouement with a kind of grimness which hasn’t ceased to haunt us even today.
