The World of Maladies and Human Empathy of SHIVANI

The World of Maladies and Human EmpathyThe author explores how Hindi writer Shivani beautifully integrated the medical world into her literature, chronicling the social destruction caused by diseases like tuberculosis and leprosy in the Kumaon region. Capturing both the physical agony and the societal isolation of patients, her observant storytelling gave voice to human suffering with deep humility and wider social implications. Given that contemporary Indian literature rarely addresses these painful realities, how can modern writers better emulate Shivani’s unique blend of clinical observation and profound human empathy to spotlight overlooked societal grief?

Ira Mathur, the Indian-born Trinidadian journalist, columnist, and award-winning author of Love The Dark Days, has built her career on amplifying the voices of those too often unheard. With family roots stretching from the Nawab of Bhopal to her grandmother Sahanajun and great-grandfather Abdul Majid Khan, Mathur’s own sense of being “an outsider”—as she describes herself, “Half Hindu and Half Musalman”—has deeply shaped her worldview and her writing.
