ABOUT THE BOOK

Selected Satire: Fifty Years of Ignorance brings together about 20
satire pieces of eminent Hindi writer, Shrilal Shukla. Most noted
for his novel Raag Darbari, for which he received the Sahitya Akademi
Award, Shukla also wrote several collections of satirical essays and
short stories.

The pieces in this volume include his socio-political and cultural
satires, where he caricaturizes politicians, mocks the bureaucracy
(many of whom were his friends), and picks on the so-called
developmental schemes of the government.
A couple of pieces are also about small town attitudes and pretentions
of intellectuals. The overall flavour is of an irreverence to authority
and humour drawn from everyday occurrences.
