Rag Darbari is one of the most famous Hindi novels written by Shri Lal Shukla, an author known for his satire. The novel highlights the falling values present in the Indian society. It goes ahead to expose the helplessness of intellectuals against the strong nexus present between criminals, businessmen and politicians.
The novel is about Ranganath, a research student in history who visits his uncle in a village for a few months. He is surprised to learn how is uncle uses all the instruments of the society viz. the village school, the village panchayat (a local elected body), the local government offices etc for his selfishness. The moral values which he has learnt during his university education are considered completely useless and impractical.
This book, I love a lot.
