The Martyr's Corner is a short story by R.K. Narayan. The story reflects how external situations that arise can have a dramatic effect on our lives. The story is about the decline in the business of a character named Rama. ==Plot== Rama is a food vendor, whose delicious food attracts passersby, especially cinemagoers. One day, however, a babbling crowd gathered at the popular corner. A quarrel ensued, and the police came and fired into the crowd, causing deaths. People collected enough money to set up a stone memorial, and decorated it with ornamental fencing and flower pots for their fallen leader. It became a "Martyr's Corner".Rama had to move to a spot a few hundred meters away and he lost his loyal customers. Rama's business was finished. Once a hotel owner himself, he was reduced to queueing up for a job outside a restaurant.〔An Anthology of Short Stories: About the Author, T.H. Ireland〕
