The short story "Murde di Taaqat" (The Corpse's Power) is reflective of the changing circumstances around temporary camps and rehabilitation centres around newly minted borders of India and Pakistan in the months post-partition of 1947. A corpse comes floating in a canal, and defines the mutual relationship between the two kinds of security forces deployed in a refugee camp.

O. Henry's stories frequently have surprise endings. In his day he was called the American answer to Guy de Maupassant. While both authors wrote plot twist endings, O. Henry's stories were considerably more playful, and are also known for their witty narration.

"Witches' Loaves" is also one such story.

Most of O. Henry's stories are set in his own time, the early 20th century. Many take place in New York City and frequently feature characters with blue-collar jobs, such as policemen and waitresses. (Source: Wikipedia)

A man gifts a log of wood to his wife, and she sings lullabies to it and takes care of it as of a child. The log of wood transforms magically into a little boy, Pilipka, who grows up to be brave and adventurous. He comes to love fishing so much so that he spends all his days fishing and netting a good catch.

How the little Pilipka, with his presence of mind, escapes from the clutches of the witch forms the rest of the story. (https://thelittlebookproject.wordpress.com/tag/byelorussian-folktale/)

"Khabbal" (Grass) is Kulwant Singh Virk's iconic short story culled out from his experiences as a liaison officer in charge of refugee-rehabilitation post-partition. Based on a true interaction with a woman kidnapped during the mayhem of 1947 migrations, the story is a reflection of the resilience of those suffering a displacement that was none of their own making.

"Chattu" (The Wooden Grinder) is a partition story of a family's leaving home, finding footing, and putting down roots in an unfamiliar land. The humble Chattu remains their companion through and through until...

Listen on to follow the trajectory of the family which is fairly representative of the settlement of almost all families forced to leave home and find sanctuary among strangers.

The author, Sukhwant Kaur Mann (1937-2016) and her family experienced this displacement first hand before they put their roots in Eastern Punjab. Mann's themes, her primary concerns, and her craft is fairly different from other women writers of fiction in Punjabi. She is primarily focussed on rural Punjabi life and all the historical dislocations it went through. Her fiction chronicles the Partition, the Green Revolution, the Naxalite movement, the turbulent 80s, and the change brought about during urbanisation of Punjab.
