The story 'Aahwan' depicts the tragic state of the Yamuna River. It features a conversation between a visitor and the personified river, which laments how humans have turned it from a sacred goddess into a 'slave' by dumping sewage and industrial waste. The story highlights the severe pollution of the river in Vrindavan, where the water is so foul-smelling that the protagonist is unable to take a holy dip despite their initial desire. https://sambad.in/sahitya-khabara/story/literature-translated-story-11859251 #creator program
