500 _aKunju Namboodiri wishes to marry a second time, but fate has other plans.A man visits the mythical city of Dwaraka in the first Malayalam fantasy tale.An abandoned infant is raised as a Muslim till her royal identity is discovered.An India almost unknown to us floods the pages of this significant series of short stories sourced from the late nineteenth to the mid-twentieth centuries. Ringing with the music of Indias regional languages, and peppered with wit and social commentary, these stories are windows to the past and its people-the everyday struggles and joys; the ties of friendship and faith; the politics of love and rejection; the intricacies of betrayal and envy; and the conflicts of class and caste-while continuing to be relevant to our present, puncturing the boundaries of time and space.How much has Indian society changed? How much of it has not?
