This paper demonstrates how Ramangina Maurya ji has intricately woven middle-class experiences into his writings, compiling them into a literary form that serves as both a mirror of society and a relevant commentary on it. Additionally, the research delves into the literary style, narrative structures, and social-psychological depth utilized in the stories, underscoring the uniqueness of the narrator and his exceptional storytelling abilities.
