Peace has come is a collection of 8 not-so-short-yet-beautiful stories based on the lives and happening of people in Assam and the borders of India and Bhutan !! Slow , elegant and poised narration and sad yet memorable stories that will linger in your minds for a while.
I loved the first story A time made of glass and An incident in late autumn which I assume is a real life story.

"Peace had come to this land, and they were the only ones to know."
"Peace Has Come" is a collection of eight short stories that capture the essence of diverse ethnicities, languages, cultures, religious beliefs, culinary habits of North East India. One specific attribute that binds all the stories is how they depict the scars of long drawn battles, insurgency, student movements, riots on local communities. Author utilises a variation of narration styles and characters along with specific geographic and historic features to make us look at the stories in specific context.
Recommended read for every Indian to move beyond stereotypical biases towards understanding the conditions and turmoil of the seven sister state's citizens.
