520 _aJayant Pawar was one of the finest contemporary writers in Marathi who, through his plays–stories–public interventions, consistently stood as an organic intellectual of the toiling masses in Mumbai. Their travails, struggles and dignity, in the midst of the transition in and of Mumbai which sought to render them invisibilised and forgotten, was the running thread through his writings. The story that we are reproducing here in translation–फिनिक्सच्या राखेतून उठला मोर in original—maps the transitions in the life a mill, a millworker family and the city as a whole. For Pawar, writing the story or telling a tale was an existential need of the oppressed. Not only to understand the multilayered nature of exploitation-oppression but also to name the exploiter-oppressor. Seen in this light, Pawar’s story does not remain a fiction but becomes a method to make the unseen/hidden aspects of the reality intelligible.- Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/millworkers-strike-1982-83-and-its-aftermath/ashes-phoenix-arises-peacock.html
