Funny Sort Of Minister

At a train station on her way to meet her friends Marie and Leo to recover her pet rock, Madame Charlotte accidentally picks up the Prime Minister's elephant-hide bag instead of her own. As it contains important documents and the politician is due to make an important speech on children's education, Miss Charlotte - hoping that she might get a ministerial job out of this - embarks on a quest to track him down. Along the way, Miss Charlotte cannot help making speeches on behalf of the country's leader and putting her own original twist on his boring children's policy, while attracting at the same time the attentions of the media and the secret service.Also in the series: The New Teacher, The Mysterious Librarian, The New Football Coach.

Not long ago, several naysayers readied to write the epitaph of the short story. The novel, and the odd-novella, indeed appeared to relegate the short story to oblivion. Fortuitously, the short story slipped through with fresh and unexplored angularities to reclaim its rightful place in the corpus of world literature. Today, the short story’s robustness continues to baffle the heretics and delight the believers. In India, particularly, hundreds of authors practise this craft in a multitude of languages, exploring a variety of themes, often in the face of stiff opposition from State-sponsored ideologues. Great Stories From Modern India brings under a single awning some of the most celebrated Indian writers who have excelled in the craft— SH Vatsyayan ‘Agyeya’, Rajinder Singh Bedi, Khushwant Singh, Amrita Pritam, Vaikom Muhammad Basheer, Premendra Mitra, Mulk Raj Anand, Balwant Gargi, Kamleshwar, Krishan Chander, Qurratulain Hyder, Ruskin Bond, and Indira Goswami, among others. While each story presents yet another unfathomable spectrum of human emotions in the writer’s unique voice, this anthology, like an orchestral piece, culminates in the shared quest of the meaning of existence, adversity, survival, annihilation, election, exile, crime, redemption and finally, homecoming.

Nothing more strangely indicates an enormous and silent evil of modern society than the extraordinary use which is made nowadays of the word "orthodox." In former days the heretic was proud of not being a heretic. It was the kingdoms of the world and the police and the judges who were heretics. He was orthodox. He had no pride in having rebelled against them; they had rebelled against him. The armies with their cruel security, the kings with their cold faces, the decorous processes of State, the reasonable processes of law—all these like sheep had gone astray. The man was proud of being orthodox, was proud of being right.
