Chandigarh, June 9

Penguin Random House, in collaboration with four bookstores here, organised an interactive session with journalist-author-translator Parbina Rashid, who recently translated Assamese writer Moushumi Kandali’s short stories for an anthology titled “Black Magic Women”.

Parbina Rashid interacted with book lovers at Capital Book Depot, English Book Shop, Baharisons and Browser Book. The collection of 10 short stories has been brought out by Penguin Random House under its Vintage imprint.

The book brings out a unique flavour of the North-East. By bringing the characters out of Assam and placing them in the mainstream milieu, Moushumi Kandali has managed to highlight the issues that have been plaguing Assamese society.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
