Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Advertisement of removing impotency and piles on the street walls, Ganja smokers, Bhang Drinking, Beetle leaves chewing, pontification, misconception in family planning miscreants in society, National drink: Tea, Vote based politics, tyranny of police, over delay in public services and using public fund for personal trip all are the features of shivpalganj in UP. Shri Lal Shukla has carved a niche of all such realities in his work Rag Darbari—a Sahitya Academy Winning work. The current system in the biggest constituency UP in India is still unprogressive in removing corruption and other social evils. It is still struggling with malpractices which are generated to exploit the poor. The wrong propagation of Malaria abolition and finding dirt at the bus and railway stations are also comment able issues.
