About Mannu Bhandari
Mannu Bhandari (born 3 April 1931) is an Indian author, whose work dates up to late 1950s - early 1960s. She is most known for her two Hind inovels, Aapka Banti and Mahabhoj. She is often credited as one of the pioneers of the Nayi Kahaani Movement, a Hindi literary movement initiated by authors including Nirmal Verma, Rajendra Yadav, Bhisham Sahni, Kamleshwar etc. Starting in the 1950s, a newly independent India was going through societal transformations like urbanization and industrialization . This demanded new debates, new opinions and new points of view, provided by those part of the Nayi Kahaani movement, including Bhandari. Narratives and stories mostly dealt with the relationship between sexes, gender inequality and equality as a new class of working and educated women had emerged then.
Bhandari is one of the post-Independence writers who portray women under a new light, as independent and intellectual individuals. Through the subject matter of her narratives, Bhandari highlights the struggles and difficulties women have constantly encountered in the past. Sexual, emotional, mental and economic exploitation had placed women in an extremely weak position in Indian society. Her female characters in her stories are portrayed as strong, independent individuals, breaking old habits and emerging and creating an image of 'new women'.

नयी कहानी आन्दोलन के उन दिनों में जब हिन्दी की रचनात्मकता अपनी प्रयोगशीलता को लेकर न सि$र्फ मुखर बल्कि वाचाल प्रतीत होती थी, मन्नू जी ने अत्यन्त संयम के साथ बहुत सार्थक, रुचिकर, पठनीय और लोकप्रिय कहानियों-उपन्यासों की रचना की। अपने लेखक-व्यक्तित्व को लेकर हमेशा संशय में रहनेवाली मन्नू जी ने अपनी रचना-यात्रा के किसी भी मोड़ पर अपने स्वभाव को न किसी फैशन के लिए छोड़ा, न किसी उपलब्धि के लिए। उनका रचना-लोक उनकी अपनी आभा से परिप
