Naukar Ki Kameez

Naukar Ki Kameez is a novel that presents the reality of Indian life and the struggles of humanity. The novels most distinctive feature is that its characters are not illusory but worldly, with voices of fantasy and reality seamlessly intertwined. Nowhere does it feel like any character has been given undue prominence. Every line and every character has its own significance. The central character, Santu Babu, is a worldly figure who doesnt create events, but is forced to grapple with them, and also to be exploited by society. This novel not only directly attacks todays bureaucracy and ungrateful people, but also creates a satirical atmosphere through short sentences. Its a testament to Vinod Kumar Shuklas keen observation that after reading the entire novel, countless poignant facts of life are etched into the mind, chronicled. There is a sharpness of experience and reality in his short sentences, whose lethal power not only creates harmony but also penetrates deep inside.
