Bonds at the time of Partition

New Delhi: A new collection of stories explores the thoughts and reactions of people caught in the upheaval of Partition. Set against the backdrop of Partition, Dinesh Prasad's “East of Love West of Desire” is about love that sears and consumes, elevates and devastates. “Madhurangi” is a story of two women; one whose life is defined by metamorphoses till she finds stability in love and another going through the metamorphoses caused by the instability of love. According to Prasad, “East of Love West of Desire”, published by India Research Press, is a mirror work of cultural variety and a kaleidoscope of alluring colourful characters through a derived sensibility of Partition. “In this adventure of love and hate, the conquistadors that emerge are ordinary people, who moved from east to west and from west to east, people who had the formidable resilience to live, people who were passionate about life despite its vagaries, and people who found hope in the chaos of abomination,” he says.
