Book
In the midst of a period of renewal, communal riots erupt in Agra. Chakradhar, employing Gandhian principles, quells the turmoil. Meanwhile, in rural areas, zamindars exploit the populace, sparking public opposition. Amidst these events, the intriguing tale of Munshi Bajradhar and his family unfolds. Bajradhar's life as an aged courtier reflects sycophancy, leaving Chakradhar perplexed as to why he chooses renunciation despite his leadership role. At the heart of this novel lies the quest for justice on Earth. Such contemplations are scattered throughout the narrative - why did God create a universe rife with selfishness, malice, and injustice?
Couldn't Earth have been fashioned to foster universal love and happiness? What manner of justice allows some to thrive while others suffer?
