Rashid Jahan was an Indian writer and practising medical doctor known for her Urdu literature, feminist stories, plays, and social commentaries. She wrote short stories and plays and contributed to  Angarey, a 1932 collection of unconventional short stories in collaboration with other writers, often seen as the start of the  Progressive Writers Movement. Angarey was subsequently banned from publication and distribution.  'Mard Aur Aurat' is a one-act play by Rashid Jahan; a dialogue between an unnamed couple about the gender hierarchies, economic freedom of women and equal responsibilities of man and woman in child rearing -  topics still hotly debated in the 'modern' times we live in.    @Arti Jain is a storyteller, filmmaker and podcaster who is currently the Digital  Editor at Nayi Dhara - one of the oldest Hindi literary magazines in  India.

(Audio Timestamps below) This satire by Harishankar Parsai is an attack on how the political parties try to gain mileage out of sensitive religious issues by taking help of some corrupt Godmen. Originally written in 1968, this satirical piece seems more relevant than ever in today's communally charged atmosphere, keeping in mind the many deplorable instances of violence due to the same context recently. The relevance of truly great writer never goes away and Harishankar Parsai's razor sharp wit shows us just that.
