a must read for any hindi literature and satire lover

One of my most treasured gifts from my father is this book. I read it for the first time when i turned 18, when my dad gifted me this and said,"now that you are going to vote, just ensure u dont encourage what u read inside"
This book is not only a great mirror to the state of Indian politics, but also a great read for someone who wants to understand how to paint a picture with words.
There were times when i would stop in between and just laugh for a long time because of the liberal usage of ...

Raag Darbari, the best social-political satire of India

One of the best social-political-satire written in any Indian languages, including Indian English writings.

The language of the novel is a new experiment in Hindi as the events have been described in most hilarious and funny manner bringing out the strength of words to its best. This is a must read to experience rural and semi-urban India and it...

One of the best pieces of prose

This book is undoubtedly one of the funniest to have come out of India. The author has created his own genre and is so downright funny that one cannot do with just one read. You would want to read it again and again. Although Bawasir, Mela, Panchayat Scenes, Introduction of Chotte...stand out for me, I can bet if you pick any random page and read any random paragraph, you cant just help feeling playfully amused!

Timeless Classic

One of books to be read for those who have interest in Hindi Literature. The story is set in post -independence India, but doesnt seem stale or out-dated. In fact, some of villages may be having the situation depicted in the book. The author has good command over the local slangs and dialect of Awadh region and this is very well reflected in the language. The story is absolutely hilarious and the language, though in some places seems to too adult/brash, has been used such beautifully that rea...

best Hindi novel

This is the best novel I ever have read in Hindi. I could not stop myself from reading once started reading. This is realistic novel full of humor. I enjoyed it a lot. This was written many decades back but still it looks fresh and fits in today's context.

Raag Darbari

Best satire I have ever read! Even better than Catch-22
However, you have to be familiar with the north India rural areas to appreciate it fully.

Excellent book for Hindi lovers

I am a passionate book lover and have read some of good Hindi authors like Munshi Prem Chand, Dharamveer Bharti and others, when I heard about this author I was not sure how it will be but title attracted me. But after reading this book I can say its a goodo ne for Hindi lovers.
This is excellent book on politics involved in Indian lives at every level. This tells story of a village in 1970s. A very good satire with some fun part in it.
