Rajinder Singh Bedi
Rajinder Singh Bedi was an Indian Urdu writer of the progressive writers’ movement and a playwright, who later worked in Hindi cinema as a film director, screenwriter and dialogue writer. Rajendra Singh Bedi is the name of modern Urdu fiction that Urdu fiction rightly admires. His short stories are amazing, unmatched, and unquestionably unique. Compared to the three other pillars of modern Urdu fiction, Saadat Hasan Manto, Ismat Chughtai and Krishan Chander, Bedi’s fictional works are the most nuanced depictions of the human psyche. Man is seen in his actual form in his mirror, and Bedi presents him in a way that highlights not just the nuanced aspects of his character but also the intricate interplay between the person and society as well as the enigmatic nature of the human psyche. This book presents six famous stories of Bedi, named as Bud’Dha, Girhan, Bhola, Muqaddas Jhoot, Aik baap bikao hai and Jogiya.
