Bhargabi Das’s close translation of some of Bhabendranath Saikia’s most intricate short-fiction brings into English a sensibility that should surely be a revelation to the readers of Indian literature in English translation. Saikia, a distinguished physicist and filmmaker, gave Assamese fiction a new tenor, bringing in fragrance of the earth from Assam’s rural culture-scape. Bhabendranath has so far remained relatively less known outside his native Assam. Bhargabi Das’s meticulously worked translations of an excellent choice of his stories span that gap and offer a fascinating bridge to us, to effect a long overdue connect. — G N Devy, Literary Critique and Padma Shri Awardee
All the six short stories give interesting peeks into the complex, layered lifeworld of rural Assamese women of various ages, classes and contexts. Saikia’s stories are indeed rare honest glimpses of rural Assamese gendered and classist politics, in an age when most filmmakers and writers in Assam were painting a rather romantic and ‘simple’ village life. The stories have been consciously and carefully picked out keeping in mind women’s relationship to the world around, particularly in rural Assam.
