Aanandi; the Masterpiece Urdu Short Story by Ghulam Abbas

Ghulam Abbas (Urdu: غلام عباس ) was a short story writer. He was born in Amritsar, India and died in 1982 in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan.

His short stories have a distinct style in Urdu literature. His short stories AAnandi and Overcoat earned him international fame. His fame is purely because of his literary genius. He became popular without associating himself or depending on any of the literary movement or group. Aanandi, JaaDay ki Chaandni and Kan Ras are his famous books containing remarkable short stories.

I have got Aanandi, the most famous short story by Ghulam Abbas. This short story is considered to be one of the masterpieces of Urdu short stories. I hope you will like it. Here you go!
