Sher (शेर) by Asgar Wajahat (असग़र वजाहत)

Send us Fan Mail This week on Naatak Radio presenting a symbolic and satirical short story by Asghar Wajahat. In a tale probably belonging in the Panchtantra style of story-telling, but reminiscent of The Animal Farm, we hear of a jungle where animals willingly enter a lion's open mouth. Why are they doing this? And what happens when someone tries to question this system forms the basis of this short story. What's really impressive in this story is how a really powerful message is delivered in <5 minutes. Do you find yourself entering the lion's mouth without questioning? Please let us know in your comments.
