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. \u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shrilal Shukla\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0143452193\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143452195\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e India Penguin Modern Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 5.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Shrilal Shukla","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44044744360191,"sku":"9780143452195","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_be196424-a05c-4b1e-97ff-a483e779fe4b.jpg?v=1684974636","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/selected-satire-shrilal-shukla-9780143452195","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
