TWINNING IN Saeed Ibrahim’s “TWIN TALES from KUTCCH”

Vitalizing twinning in this period saga, Saeed Ibrahim deftly overlaps characters, places, and situations within the novel’s hall of tactically placed mirrors in perfect sync. TWIN TALES is a microcosmic, counterfactual gem of the period preceding the 1947 Partition of India and Pakistan — a ray of sanity, overriding divisions and separation, to rebuke the macrocosmic killing fields and trains of death the British left as their legacy. Not to speak of 88% illiteracy, 32 years life expectancy and no health service or public education worth the name, except for fee-paying, lucrative schools for the elite to ensure unequal opportunity.
TWIN TALES OF THE KUTCCH brings love, family and humanity to the fore in subliminal criticism of the brutal independence of India.

French football supporters succeeded in converting PSG’s Champion’s League feat into a platform of their own real and imagined grievances by a blazing urban rampage, dampening their nation’s singular harvest of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI).
