Saheliyan and other stories is a new story collection by poet-storyteller Priyadarshan. The theme of most of the stories included in the collection is today's woman who is changing. Although 'Saheliyan' is the title of a story, but it can also be used for the collectiveness of all those women who are fighting their own battles for change in different corners of the society - somewhere with the organization called Parivar, Somewhere from an organization called husband, somewhere from an organization called society. They are all together in the fight for change and their respect. The processes of change are going on in many other ways in Indian society. There is technology, there is politics, there are our mutual relationships, there is a rush to move forward, to succeed ? change is everywhere. The long-cherished desires of the middle class due to boredom and frustration are just being given a new excuse of religion. Somehow or the other, it all comes into play in these stories. But the narrator is nowhere disappointed with his faith in good and man's innate positivity. The new developments in the world of women are not only his source of hope, but the common man's will to live also does not let him despair. But ruthless self-criticism still seems to the narrator to be a task that must be done. 'Jab Kahani Milti Hai', 'Lash' and 'Cheekh', are such stories in which a modern man, equipped with all the comforts, resources and capabilities, introspects himself and feels ashamed of turning away from social-human duties. And thus shows that where a decisive change lies postponed is within ourselves. Avoiding wastage of language, the prose rich in facts and facts makes Priyadarshan always readable. Even in socio-political commentaries, these are stories after all; If you start studying, you will wake up only after completing it. Of course by being a little more human.
