She begs him to safeguard her husband and son in the great war they are all being sent to fight in Europe. This is from Chandradhar Sharma Guleri’s 'Usne Kaha Tha' (She Has Said), one of the first Hindi short stories. It has descriptions of battlefield life, a ribald song with innuendos about cloves and pumpkins, unexpected action in the form of an Urdu-speaking German spy and a moving climax where Lahna fulfils the request, sacrificing his own life. He dies dreaming of mangoes he will never eat. Guleri wrote this just months after World War I started in August 1914.
