One of the best novel describing the real poverty in vidarbha (eastern part of Maharashtra, India). 50 years old but still picturises the plight of vidarbha that has not changed even today.. live. (what can we call this? vision and power of his writing skills or the ill fate of vidarbha that's not changed yet?) this is really the Bhagwad Geeta of vidarbha. Everyone who loves maharashtra, marathi must read it...!
