A master of Indian fiction- Short Stories from His Pen
Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing. (Benjamin Franklin)
The ebook “The Chain and Other Stories”
It is a collection of 10 stories by Dr Bhabendra Nath Saikia. Many of these stories were included in the collection of short stories for which Dr Saikia was awarded the highest Indian Literary Award, Sahitya Akademi.
About Dr. Bhabendra Nath Saikia
An author becomes extravagant when he portrays his soul in the exquisite flow of the ink. He exhibits the emotions and feelings of life so easily that we as readers flow away with their thoughts. One such prolific writer rather an author who holds your hand in the ocean of thoughts and emotions is late Dr. Bhabendra Nath Saikia.
Dr. Saikia was adept at understanding the human mind and its complexities. The characters in his works live through the same hopes and dreams that the common man in the society faces in the struggle for his daily existence; they are haunted by the same nightmares and soothed by the dreams that are real in life; and the values and morals that serve as the guiding light for the characters in his works are the same that guide us in life and stand as challenges when we are at moral crossroads in the journey of life.
He was a novelist, playwright, short story writer, film director- all rolled into one. His films portray the life of the common man, as do his literary works.
Dr. Saikia was awarded the one of the highest civilian awards of India, the Padma Shri, in 2001. The Sahitya Akademi award was presented to Dr Saikia in 1976 for his short story collection Srinkhal (The Chain). This award is a literary honor in India, and it is conferred by the Sahitya Akademi, India’s National Academy of Letters.
Words said about Dr. Bhabendra Nath Saikia’s writings
“Intuitive, perceptive, observant, sensitive… the adjectives would flow if one started describing the genius called Bhabendra Nath Saikia.”
“Deeply insightful, immensely enjoyable, and dipped in the rich cultural heritage and traditions of Assam, Dr. Saikia’s works are as universal as they are local.”
“A rare glimpse of Assamese society, portrayed with deep understanding and love by a master craftsman.”
“His stories and novels appeal to the modern reader, for his insight into the universal dilemma that life is. Dr. Bhabendra Nath Saikia can appeal as much to a reader in a village in India as he can appeal to someone in a village in UK or US.”
“The story line and character presentation in his books are so enchanting and infused with passion that the readers can hardly take their eyes off it.”
