Synopsis "Escapades of a Self-Styled Gandhian"

Escapades of self-serving do-gooders, national leaders, babus, and other frauds, Indian and International. Endorsements Dr. Y.V.Reddy, writer, economist, and former Governor of the Reserve Bank of India: This book is a thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining read. It is full of refreshing humour but with deep and subtle messages on the interface between Government and Civil Society. I am delighted to recommend to one and all to buy, or at least to borrow, and read this book. Ms Sherise Hobbs, Fiction Editor, Headline, UK: I thought it was charming - intelligent, witty and wry. Prof. Shyamala A. Narayan, Jamia Millia University, New Delhi, and Reviewer, Journal of Commonwealth Literature: Vithal Rajan's forte is creating characters like Vedavyas Sharma. His novel, Sharmaji, Padmashree is structured as a collection of short stories centred on 'Shri Vedavyas Sharma, M.A.(London)', the director of an NGO he founded. The book has enjoyable satire directed against self-serving social workers and corrupt politicians and bureaucrats. Dr. Suman Sahai, Convenor, Gene Campaign, New Delhi: I scream with laughter every time I take up the book ! It is written so beautifully...a great pleasure to read. I can almost identify Sharmaji ...but there must be lots like him. Ms Gita Ram, Executive Chairperson, Crafts Council of India: I thoroughly enjoyed reading Sharmaji Padmashree! The portrayal of the protagonist is brilliant! Prof. Sachidananda Mohanty, Dept of English, University of Hyderabad: Vithal Rajan is widely known for his Civil Society initiatives. His literary works mirror his love of life, his cosmopolitan background and empathy for the human condition
