Rano and Phulo  (English, Paperback, SHUKLA LAL)

The exodus of refugees broke the regional beliefs and habits and brought the integration of their own culture into the Provincialism existing in the India of 1947 to make a cocktail of diversity into a unity. The traditionalism of the regions which absorbed this exodus in a resilient manner, though they held onto their unique character, also brought about a uniformity. In other words, the Provincialism of Pre-Partition gave way to a Pan-India “Indianness”. The story is about two young girls who lived through such times.
