💨 Abstract

Padma Shri-winning Hindi author Gyan Chaturvedi's novel "Pagalkhana," discussing societal changes post-liberalization in India, has been translated to English as "Mad House." This social commentary, published by Niyogi Books, features two main characters: 'The Bazaar' (free-market forces) and 'The Citizen,' whose reincarnations are trapped in a cycle of distress and fears.
