Voices of Asia: In consonance with the wishes of the writers of the SAARC region, expressed through numerous conferences, workshops, seminars, as also through inter-personal interactions, the Foundation of SAARC Writers and Literature has brought out this volume of representative short stories of writers from the ‘seven sister’ countries comprising the SAARC region. While retaining their distinctive local colour and flavour, these stories embody certain common themes and motifs highlighting the myriad aspect of life as lived by the teeming millions who inhabit the region. In their different ways, they bring out the recurrent aspects of the ‘existential’ reality like poverty, ‘feminisation’ of poverty, gender relations, women’s empowerment, political protest, social upheavals, cultural assertion, corruption, pacifism, communal cleavages, etc. as lived out by the peoples of the region.

Crying for Kurukshetra is a play written by Ms. Suryakanthi Tripathi, and presents a dialogue between the widows left behind after the epic battle of Mahabharata. The play, is about women and war. It addresses the impact that war has on the lives of women and their struggle to come to terms with its aftermath. The theme is highlighted through the experiences of women, both royal and common, who suffer devastating losses in Kurukshetra, the great battle of the Indian epic, “The Mahabharata.” It is seen that the issues that confronted those women have remarkable contemporary relevance, and are strikingly similar to those that challenge the women of today.
