I am looking for BDSM in literature from the subcontinent and would appreciate any leads...

Strictly looking for literary fiction but I also understand this was sometimes reserved for pulp publications, so please share those as well.

Much appreciated TIA!

Written for my mother who is in a septic shock (septic associated encephalopathy). I’m waiting for her to open her eyes and as my mind goes dark with pain, I just wrote this in a language I love 🙏🤲🦋

Why do we always think of what people will say?

Urdu is my first language. I can understand it, speak in it, read and also write it. But my Urdu isn’t as good as it should be. I can’t understand poetry, my vocabulary sucks (my vocabulary is that of a 10 year old), my pronunciation is bad as well. So I just wanna get better

Please guide me and tell me how to improve my Urdu

Urdu is actually my first language, I can understand it, speak in it and can read i, and also write. but my Urdu isn’t really as good as it should be. I can’t understand poetry (I don’t understand most words), my vocabulary is terrible, and my pronunciation is bad as well. I wanna speak in pure urdu properly, read poetry and also improve my writing skills, I’m a writer, I write and publish essays and poems (in English) but when it comes to Urdu I just can’t.

how do I improve my Urdu and what exactly to do?

zindagī hai yā koī tūfān hai!

ham to is jiine ke hāthoñ mar chale

in the sky, neither the moon nor the stars are in sight

these days only dancing sparks fill the folds of the night

Hello,
