Abstract

Rajinder Singh Bedi, the maestro of Urdu literature, is renowned for his profound short stories. He intricately weaves societal and economic intricacies into his narratives with a natural finesse, revealing deeper spiritual dimensions beneath the surface. While ostensibly grounded in reality, his tales illuminate the social and economic facets of contemporary life, offering a poignant portrayal of life's bitter truths through the lens of imagination. The characters in his works are deeply rooted in the social customs of Indian society, and their economic struggles vividly illustrate the harsh realities of life. This is why his stories are not merely fictional events, but rather, they resonate with the entire essence of the era. Bedi portrays the psychological and moral values of this era through the social and economic circumstances of his characters. Therefore, his short stories encapsulate an entire epoch, articulating its social and economic realities comprehensively.
