{"product_id":"tulasidas-chandan-ghisain","title":"Tulasidas Chandan Ghisain","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor Harishankar Parsai, satire was not an end, but a means. This is what distinguishes him from ordinary satirists. His aim wasnt to make the reader laugh or entertain them. His goal was to transform them. And this task is impossible without a proven grasp of social truths, genuine empathy, and a clear worldview. Especially if your medium is a genre like satire. Harishankar Parsai possesses all these qualities. The sharpness of his vision and ideological clarity make him a pioneer not of satire but of thought literature. The central theme of Tulsidas Chandan Ghisais articles is primarily the relationship between power and culture. In them, the equations of Hindi literatures relationship with society and power establishments repeatedly emerge. In these essays, written in the fortnightly Sarika between 1984 and 1985, Parasai displayed that rare literary courage, one that neither hesitates to offend his contemporaries nor is restrained by any flabby morality from mocking his ancestors. Significantly, reading these essays, we dont feel as if they were written three decades ago! We are still the same, and we still need a Parasai who, even if only in a pinch, keeps our skin from thickening!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RajKamal Prakashan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45872448897222,"sku":"DADAX8171789064","price":6.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/9389\/1014\/files\/71RzHv_SESL.jpg?v=1779512351","url":"https:\/\/ergodemedia.com\/products\/tulasidas-chandan-ghisain","provider":"Ergodemedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
