IndiaDescription:
"MA pass Rangnath arrives at Shivpalganj to spend some time with his uncle Valdyaji, the most important person in the village and the man who controls the grain cooperative and the intermediate college. There is a rebellion brewing among the college teachers; and Ramadhin, Vaidyaji's archi-rival, won't give up the village council without a fight. Factionalism, wheeling and dealing, and corruption take centre stage. Confronted with such chaos, Rangnath finds his textbook learning irrelevant"--Back cover.

The Great Indian Novel by Shashi Tharoor EN
Description:
In this award-winning novel, Tharoor has masterfully recast the two-thousand-year-old epic, The Mahabharata, with fictional but highly recognizable events and characters from twentieth-century Indian politics. Nothing is sacred in this deliciously irreverent, witty, and deeply intelligent retelling of modern Indian history and the ancient Indian epic The Mahabharata. Alternately outrageous and instructive, hilarious and moving, it is a dazzling tapestry of prose and verse that satirically, but also poignantly, chronicles the struggle for Indian freedom and independence.
