About the Book
A STINGING COMMENTARY ON THE MORAL DECREPITUDE THAT AILS POST-INDEPENDENCE INDIA.
dalal (n.) a middleman
The 'dalal' acts as a catalyst. He rides pillion on the two-wheeler of a person who dreams of owning a four-wheeler. This institution of dalals has an ancient history, and Langdya is living proof of its continuity.
Part social satire, part fable, Shrikant Bojewar's One and Three Quarters is a stinging commentary on the moral decrepitude that ails post-Independence India and the curious workings of its sociopolitical machinery.
