CONDITION USED , A DEATH IN DELHI , MODERN HINDI SHORT STORIES, GORDON C. ROADARMEL , 1973

A collection of modern Hindi short fiction that captures the changing realities of Indian life in the mid-twentieth century. The selected stories reflect the diversity, experimentation, and emotional depth of a literary movement focused on urban, middle-class experiences shaped by alienation, loneliness, and shifting values. Rooted in a society balancing tradition with rapid change, these narratives reveal intimate human struggles that are both distinctly Indian and universally resonant. Presented in translation for a wider audience, the book offers a compelling window into contemporary Indian sensibilities and the evolution of modern Indian literature.
