"Ma is Scared is the long-overdue debut of Anjali Kajal in English, representing the best of her short fiction, written and published over the last twenty years. From the anxious mother waiting for her daughter to return home safely, to the young student accused of stealing because of her caste, the stories gathered here explore the experience of women in small towns and urban centres across North India. Kajal writes about desire, abuse, silence, love and oppression in nuanced ways; how they are negotiated in the world; through relationships, family, motherhood, school, university, jobs. Her language, imagery and concerns are thoroughly contemporary, capturing the yearnings, restrictions and possibilities of modern life from a feminist and anti-caste perspective. "
Born in 1978, Anjali Kajal is a short-story writer from Ludhiana, Punjab. Her stories have been published in various literary magazines and publications, including the renowned Hindi monthly magazine Hans, as well as Gyanodhay, Wagarth, Samkaleen Janmat, Rachna Samay and Waak. In 2003, Kajal was honoured by Punjab Hindi Sahitya Academy, Jallandhar for her contribution to Hindi literature. In 2017, ' Akbhaar' was one of the 16 stories shortlisted for a prize in a story writing competition organized by Today' s Network news portal Lallantop. com. There is a growing interest in Kajal' s work in India. She is one of five writers selected to be a part of a special edition of Hans on Dalit Literature, by its editor Ajay Navaria.
