Raja Momo Aur Peelee Bulbul

Goa is Indias smallest state. Its area is only 3,702 square miles and it comprises two districtsNorth Goa and South Goa. This tiny state, adorned with the Arabian Sea, picturesque forests, small hills, dense cashew plantations, the famous Feni spirit, vast rice fields, ever-bright beaches, and tourists from India and abroad, appears like a dazzling fairyland from the outside. However, its soul remains deeply engulfed in depression. Despite Indias independence in 1947, Goa remained under Portuguese rule for the next 14 years, and only gained independence in 1961 after a long struggle for liberation. Yet, Goa remains untouched by its irony. This state of perpetual depression has led to the weight gain of the once-short-statured Goa community. Struggling with the problem of overweight, Goa ranks above all other Indian states in terms of weight gain. This ancient, traditional province has been ravaged from within by a continuous socio-cultural decline. Goa, long a center of global debauchery, is silently shedding tears of blood at the hands of the mining mafia, the drug mafia, the building mafia that has turned Goa into a concrete jungle, and the forest mafia. Goa has always been marginalized in Hindi literature. For the first time in Hindi literature, this large-scale novel about Goa offers to bring the countrys smallest province into central discussion.
