✅ Summary :

Heart Lamp is a poignant collection of twelve short stories by Banu Mushtaq, originally written in Kannada between 1990 and 2023 and translated into English by Deepa Bhasthi. The stories vividly portray the lives of Muslim and Dalit women and girls in southern India, navigating the complexities of family, community, and societal expectations. Mushtaq's narratives delve into themes of patriarchy, religious oppression, and the resilience of women, often infused with dry humor and sharp social critique. Notable stories include "Black Cobras," where women unite against a mosque authority's negligence, and the titular "Heart Lamp," inspired by Mushtaq's own experience with postpartum depression, depicting a woman's plea for escape from an oppressive marriage.
