Eq Haqiqat Ek Afsana | Kachra Baba (کچرا بابا ) | Krishan Chander

Описание: Krishan Chander was vital for putting things in perspective in the larger framework of society, class and the constant tensions and conflict between the privileged and the deprived, the pampered and the neglected, the elevated and the marginalized. In Kachra Baba (The Old Dustbin Man), he portrayed, in a masterly manner, contrasting situations in the life of an old man living virtually off the waste heap who suddenly finds a newborn baby abandoned at that spot. It transforms him, unleashing deep feelings of compassion and care in him. It is one of the most gripping of Krishan Chander’s stories. An unfortunate man existing on the margins of an apathetic and uncaring society finds new meaning and purpose in life. Such depths in the human character that Krishan Chander could identify as an antidote to the egotism and opportunism ordinarily assumed to define human nature.
