Description

One of the most significant prose works of Suryakant Tripathi ‘Nirala,’ Billesur Bakariha is a story of the struggle of a poor man trying to move up in society ridden with not only inter-caste conflicts but is also full of intra-caste rivalries and jealousies. Borrowing heavily from a minor dialect of Hindi, Bainswadi, Billesur Bakariha is replete with satire – rapier sharp and scathing, mythology and earthy colloquial metaphors.
