Penalty Corner / पेनाल्टी कॉर्नर : आदिवासी जीवन की कहानियां

<p>The stories of 'Penalty Corner' very closely outline the colonial exploitation-repression of Jharkhand and the socio-cultural anomalies and distortions arising from it. While passing through them many times tears occur in the eyes sometimes fists occur involuntarily. Relief comes when many of their characters are seen standing up against their persecution. Such compositions would not have been possible without a deep sense of the pain of motherland in the right mind. Such compositions and writers that refer to the life of Jharkhand are very rare. Even less in Hindi. In fact many writers are unable to connect with the ground reality here. Perhaps the remnants of colonial mentality do not allow them to happen. The stories of 'Penalty Corner' place Ashwini Kumar Pankaj in a different line from those writers - like a pinnacle like Nadine Gordimer.</p>
