Check in every Thursday for a new set of five! This week's selection includes Chitralipi by Vasant Abaji Dahake and Garbhareshami by Indira Sant among others.
Shetkaryaca Asud by Jyotirao Phule
This is a critique of the exploitation of the Shudra peasantry by a British and Brahmin bureaucratic alliance.
Kalyanche Nishwas by Vibhavari Shirurkar
Written by Malati Bedekar under a pseudoynm, this is a collection of short stories where she discussed issues such as extramarital cohabitation, a woman's right to set up her own household alone, and dowry. The works were far too bold for the Indian society of the 1930s, and after their publication, there was a storm of outrage about them.
Chitralipi by Vasant Abaji Dahake
Translated as Hieroglyphs by Rahee Dahake
This is a Sahitya Akademi Award winning collection of poems. Dahake's writings show an influence of existentialist writers like Kafka, and they are often dark and provocative.
Garbhareshami by Indira Sant
This collection of poems won the Sahitya Akademi Award. Sant lost her husband just a decade after their marriage, and her pain seeps into her poetry. Apart from love and longing, she explores different dimensions of a woman's life.
Aalok by Asaram Lomate
This is a Sahitya Akademi Award winning collection of six stories that largely reflect rural life and people.
