The Other in the Mirror is an anthology of short stories from India and Pakistan, edited by Sehyr Mirza. The collection explores themes of compassion, coexistence, and the lingering impact of the 1947 Partition, with a style described as "Manto-esque". It features works by celebrated writers from both countries and aims to foster understanding and empathy across the border. In this episode, I narrate the first story, titled Crossing the Raavi, written in Urdu by Gulzar and translated into English by Rakhshanda Jalil.
