Synopsis

A Munshi places loyalty towards his master and profession above personal interests and shields his master from financial ruin. The title story "Munshi Pyarelal" also provides a glimpse into the plight of the nearly obsolete 'zamindari' or feudal system in India. "Tabeez wale Baba" exposes the strangle-hold of superstition in the Indian society, while it underscores the Hindu belief in retribution for deeds and misdeeds within the lifetime of an individual. These and other stories weave an entertaining narrative as they also explore emerging social issues in India.
