About the Book

The Blight and Seven Short Stories opens our eyes to the struggles of ordinary lives — a father who dreams of his son becoming a footballer but has no money to buy him a little fish to strengthen his weak limbs — a man holding fiercely to his ancestral land in the face of daily killings and the emptying out of the village — an office-going young man humiliated by the commuters on a train passing through Bihar, who seeks and plans his revenge on the Biharis in Kolkata — a young boy, his eyes filled with dreams of an equal society, feels betrayed by his teacher’s double standards — a colony on the outskirts of the capital, where the meat shops have all been shut down by self-proclaimed food vigilante groups, and the shopkeepers lynched — a sign of our times. Bitan Chakraborty’s readers walk alongside the characters, wondering where their paths will lead. Will Mahadeb be able to sell that cheap coin found on the roadside to feed his ailing child? Will Subal be able to protect his ancestral land, even at the cost of his own life? Will Ahan get his revenge? The author does not judge; he merely opens up the windows so we can peep into the souls of the characters and make our own judgements. We can judge our own lives by the silent yardstick he holds up. Chakraborty’s stories cry out to be read. They are a small voice of sanity that asks us to pause, to question what we see in our lives and around us, and to reflect.
