Born in Sialkot, Punjab, Rajinder Singh Bedi (1915-1984) lived many lives-as a student and postmaster in Lahore, a venerated screenwriter for popular Hindi films and a winner of both the Sahitya Akademi as well as the Filmfare awards. Considered one of the prominent progressive writers of modern Urdu fiction, Bedi was an architect of contemporary Urdu writing along with leading lights such as Munshi Premchand and Saadat Hasan Manto.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWritten between 1940 and 1975, the fifteen short stories included in this collection comprise favorites like 'Garam Coat' (Woollen Coat), 'Lajwanti', 'Apne Dukh Mujhe De Do' (Give Me Your Sorrows), 'Rahman ke Joote' (Rahman's Shoes) and others. Bedi's stories dissect human emotions with grim precision as he navigates the everyday lives of men and women, exposing social inequities and economic problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143455073\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.8 x 5.1 x 0.9 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50123133190448,"sku":"Trans_9780143455073","price":300.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/81sg6xC7gAL.jpg?v=1757331763","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/bn\/products\/rajinder-singh-bedi-selected-short-stories","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
