The short stories gathered in this anthology show a multitude of voices and colors. They offer a mixture of looks and perspectives on the towns and villages of a multicultural Indian society founded on a variety of cults, beliefs and religions. This is the first time that news in Dogri, Konkani, Marwari, Paite, and Toulouse have found a place in French anthologies. (Rangoli, volumes 1 and 2) An important place is given to eminent contemporary writers whose voices remain little or not known to the French-speaking public. This is news translated into French directly from Indian languages and not, as is often the case with translations made through a filter language. All the news in this collection has been translated by Indian teachers and researchers
