Khound earned notable fame as a short story writer of the \u003ci\u003eRamdhenu\u003c\/i\u003e era (1951-1967) and he is at his dexterous best in this collection of short stories based on the highly idiosyncratic tea garden way of Assam. The word 'Girmit' roughly translates to 'agreement' or 'contract' and all the stories in this collection feature the indentured labourers and their lives as deeply woven with the tea plantations of colonial and post-colonial Assam. \u003ci\u003eGirmit\u003c\/i\u003e has stories of the exploiters and the exploited; of the British Sahibs and their Indian shadows or Babus; of a bountiful landscape and tea garden people; of hopes, horrors and terrifying consequences and of pathos and promise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Golap Khound\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8888839070\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798888839072\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Notion Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/09\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 138\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.32d","brand":"Golap Khound","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45897410707711,"sku":"9798888839072","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fd46310b-7e86-4f10-be81-b46904416d2b.jpg?v=1721373869","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/girmit-golap-khound-9798888839072","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
