KAGDI GHODE (Marathi)

IT IS WELL KNOWN FACT THAT GOVERNMENT WORK MAKES YOU WAIT FOR SIX MONTHS. THIS BOOK SHEDS LIGHT ON HOW THE GOVERNMENT FUNCTIONS. IT DETAILS WHAT KIND OF TREATMENT THE COMMON MAN RECEIVES AFTER GOING TO VARIOUS GOVERNMENT OFFICES, BANKS, MUNICIPALITIES, POLICE STATIONS, MAHAVITARAN; HOW THE OFFICIALS AND EMPLOYEES WORK INEFFICIENTLY, HOW THE APPLICATION IS DELAYED IN THE TANGLE OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS, HOW A NEEDY PERSON IS MADE TO VISIT THESE OFFICES NUMEROUS TIMES TO FOLLOW-UP FOR THE WORK AND SO ON. THE AUTHOR VIVIDLY PORTRAYS HOW A COMMON MAN EXPERIENCES THE NEED TO BRIBE TO PROCESS HIS FILE. MALICIOUS, CUNNING CHARACTERS ARE FOUND EVERYWHERE IN THIS BOOK. THE PITIFUL SITUATION OF THE COMMON MAN ARISING WHILE TRYING TO GET HIS WORK DONE IS DEPICTED WELL. AT THE SAME TIME, THE MANNER IN WHICH THE AUTHOR HAS USED MOCKERY, IRONY AND EXAGGERATION MAKES US WONDER WHETHER SUCH RED-TAPISM EXISTS AROUND US.
