Asthi

by Vishnu Sakharam Khandekar

The stories included in this book were written exclusively for the teenagers, by V. S. Khandekar. Man sometimes kills humanity, consciousness, relations, affection, and soul in the greed of power, money, name and fame. Hindu culture has a way to satisfy ourself, we leave the bones of the deceased in a river and tell us that Yes, the soul is free now! But where are we going to take the bones of the deceased humanity? Very delicately and tenderly, V. S. Khandekar makes us think about this, through his stories. They have the spirit to awaken our conscious. They imprint the importance of high moral values.
