Hunar SetuHunar Setu is a social initiative that connects skilled artisans and craftsmen with buyers, businesses, and communities that value their work. India’s artisans carry centuries of tradition, culture, and craftsmanship, but many of them struggle to access markets, technology, and fair opportunities. Hunar Setu was created to bridge this gap.https://www.hunarsetu.com/s/62ea2c599d1398fa16dbae0a/676523772eb3cf19c22b9674/hunarsetu1-logo-1--480x480.png

978936523175569a51e930c53d374a55c46b8BIRDSONG IN THE NIGHT AND OTHER STORIESBirdsong in the Night and Other Stories is a masterfully crafted collection of stories by Sunil Gangopadhyay—one of Bengal’s most celebrated modern writers—where he captures a society in flux with rare subtlety and emotional depth. Set across the streets, offices, forests, and forgotten margins of 1970s Bengal, these stories explore human desire, vulnerability, disillusionment, and resilience with an unsparing, yet compassionate eye. In the eponymous story, young Bachkun, haunted by a horrific memory, is awakened in the dead of night by mysterious birdsong; she then drifts into a profound meditation on sorrow, trauma, resilience, and the miracle of beauty arriving when least expected. In ‘The Drought’, we meet a journalist who is grappling with moral fatigue in a drought-stricken land. ‘Three Men’ is about a young man whose rebellion at work reveals the impossibility of human dignity within a corrupt system. As her husband’s secrets and silences close in around her, Manisha clings to a vision of Tehran—an imagined freedom just out of reach in ‘Dreaming of Tehran’. In each of these stories, Gangopadhyay brilliantly oscillates from the stark realities of drought and political unrest to the intimate inner worlds of women navigating love, loss, and dignity. Translated into English with dazzling eloquence and deep insight by acclaimed translator Chitrita Banerji, Birdsong in the Night and Other Stories showcases Gangopadhyay as a writer writing at the height of his powers.9789365231755
