Ratnakar Matkari’s ‘Bablya Rawalya`s Petara’ from his collection ‘Kabandh’ Book Reading & Storytelling Ratnakar Matkari’s ‘Bablya Rawalya`s Petara’, from his acclaimed collection of short stories, Kabandh, delves into the complex interplay of fear, superstition, and social ostracism. The story, narrated through the protagonist Gopya’s childhood memories, paints a haunting picture of how blind faith and backward societal practices create a stifling atmosphere of silence. Gopya’`s experiences reveal the emotional and psychological toll of superstition, leading him to the disturbing realisation that silence can be more dangerous than noise. This book reading offers an immersive experience, showcasing Matkari’s gripping storytelling style and thought-provoking social critique. Conceptualised by Abhishek Salvi and Yogesh Utekar, this reading will be brought to life by talented readers Aditya Kadam, Akshay Kudav, Aniket Vanjare, Diksha Shinde, and Deepti Dandekar. The evening promises a vivid portrayal of Matkari’s enthralling prose, highlighting how silence can be more dangerous than noise. We invite readers to explore how literature can reflect and challenge societal issues through this powerful and introspective narrative.
