‘Jeelani Bano’s stories reflected sense of deep social consciousness and internationalism’

Celebrated author Jeelani Bano’s stories were cosmopolitan, reflecting a deep social consciousness and acute awareness of society, said author and literary historian Rakshanda Jalil.

Ms. Jalil was speaking on Friday at Bano ki Kahaniyan at LaMakaan, an event celebrating the literary legacy of Padma Shri awardee Jeelani Bano. She said that Ms. Bano, who passed away earlier this year, was not a regional writer, and that her work reflected both cosmopolitanism and internationalism.
