Stereotypically India is seen as a very spiritual country. The same applies to Indians, especially Hindus. The main aim of this article is to answer the question whether the spirituality of Hindus and their perception of tradition have changed or have taken a new form under the influence of the rapidly changing times. This article examines the ways of looking at tradition by modern Hindus especially those who represent the Indian middle class by reading an one-act play The Eggshells (A !ekechilke) by Mohan Rakesh and an essay by Sudhir Kakar and Katharina Kakar entitled The Flexible Hindu.

The Himalayan setting—especially present-day Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand—has fascinated many a writer in India. Journeys, wanderings, and sojourns in the Himalaya by Hindi authors have resulted in many travelogues, as well as in some emblematic short stories of modern Hindi literature. If the environment of the Himalaya and its hill stations has inspired the plot of several fictional writings, the description of the life and traditions of its inhabitants has not been the main focus of these stories. Rather, the Himalayan setting has primarily been used as a narrative device to explore and contest the relationship between the mountain world and the intrusive presence of the external world (primarily British colonialism, but also patriarchal Hindu society). Moreover, and despite the anti-conformist approach of the writers selected for this paper (Agyeya, Mohan Rakesh, Nirmal Verma and Krishna Sobti), what mainly emerges from an analysis of their stories is that the Himalayan setting, no matter the way it is described, remains first and foremost a lasting topos for renunciation and liberation.
