Indira Goswami occupies an important place in literature. She is an eminent short story writer who has also written over twenty five novels. Her short stories have varied themes which range from nineteen thirties to the present time. Her stories have universality. They expose the bitter reality of society. Dr. Goswami wielded the pen not only to highlight the matters of violence but also took the initiative of persuading the banned ULFA to come to the negotiating table. Her stories give rare insights into the human life and predicament. The agony of her life created in her a deep rooted sympathy for humanity at large. The present paper focuses on the undercurrent of human sensibility in her short stories.
