Wonderful

This collection is perfect for those who love Indian literature as well as novices. It strikes a good balance between featuring male and female authors, and has a diverse selection of poems and short stories (as well as Mahadevi Varma's brilliant essay on feminism). Some background knowledge on Indian culture and society might be required, though, as the footnotes did not often explain nuances.
