    THE TASTE OF HILSA

    The text offers insight into Manipuri society and explores various aspects of class
    difference and manifestation in terms of people's attitudes and values. With the
    characterization of Chouba and Thaninjao, the author has represented two extremes
    of the spectrum in terms of wealth, but they share a common bond as a father to
    feed their daughters. The story also describes Chouba's feelings of being completely
    happy to have captured a Hilsa, fantasizing about sharing a common meal with his
    family to let go of his longing for the reality of an empty bag of rice, of a family.
    hungry and a sick woman. The author, using local dialect words, incorporates life as
    a framework for a narrative style, making the story realistic.
