The stories are noteworthy for their racy narrative technique, marvellous characterization, flawless plot construction, and the way they convey the message of humanity. The author's language is masterful, and the imagination in weaving the stories is astonishing. As such, the Sahitya Akademi is pleased to confer its Yuva Puraskar in Santali on Bapi Tudu for his Short Stories Dusi.
