A story about truth and honesty compromised when
material well-being arrives. The story showcases with
sensitivity the exit of humane values with the advent of
material wealth and prosperity.
While the charcoal sketches bring to life the humble life and household of
Raghunath, the story, originally written in Bengali, is about the decline
in human values as one falls a prey to greed. As the prologue to the
book describes, it is a story “exploring truth, falsehood and everything in
between.”
