Chinta by Mahasweta Devi, Sanjukta Dasgupta
4.0
Powerful story. Poor translation
Mahasweta Devi writes about the marginalised without speaking down on them. In this story, the narrator is a privileged wan who realises that the patchwork charity she indulges in doesn't really make a difference. It is that distance that makes this story extra meaningful. The translation, however, can be a lot better
