Why don’t you convert? is a collection of twenty-three stories based on true events spanning several decades in the life of the author – from the idyllic early days as a fresh medical graduate in Kashmir, to the trauma of the refugee camps in Jammu. He looks at his subjects not only through the lens of a doctor but also through the prism of a writer, interested in their diseases as much as in the subjects themselves with their myriad physical, psychological and existential problems.
You have the story of a man unable to erase the spit that his father-in-law flings into his face, a young woman caught between the humiliation of rejection and the relentless persuasion to convert, a doctor kidnapped to treat a terrorist in his hideout, a running cricket commentary that brings to life a patient in coma, a pir with magical powers to congeal the blood in the womb of maidens, a dwarfish boy who will stop at nothing to grow tall, an old man who develops intractable hiccups after giving chase to a thief, a bear hug that robs a doctor of his sleep
