Teaching a course I'm calling "Around the world in 40 stories". I have most of the world covered, but I need more short stories from Asia (Chinese, Vietnamese, Indian, Afghan, etc.) I know a lot of novels from the area, but not enough short stories. Hit me with your favorites!

If you're including translations, which I imagine you are, Saadat Hasan Manto's 'Toba Tek Singh' widely considered the finest piece of Partition fiction out there.

Also, Mahesh Rao's short stories in 'One Point Two Billion' are excellent. ('The Agony of Leaves' if you'd like me to point out one in particular)
