Abstract

Chasing the Rainbow: Growing up in an Indian Village is a collection of short stories written by Manoj Das. It was published in 2004. It is part memoir, part social history of a vanishing ethos. This genre, in particular, seems to be more suitable for the mirroring the Indian life since its writer is free to choose any one part of life and deals it with utmost care and sincerity which it requires. Manoj Das is one of the greatest short story writers of India. Ruskin Bond, an acclaimed short story writer and novelist, remarks, “There are only a few good storytellers left in the world today and one of them is Manoj Das” (blurb on Das’s The Escapist).
