Abstract | : Raag Darbari was published in Hindi to cosmic acclaim in the year 1968 and since then it has been translated into more than fifteen languages. The novel is a saga of a fictional village Shivapalganj located in the district of Rae Bareli, Uttar Pradesh during 1950s. Through the story of the village, this novel underscores the degradation of ethics in post-independent India. Comical, Nihilistic, and grimly satirical, Raag Darbari delineated the corrupt social and political system that had taken sturdy roots in the villages of post-independence India. This paper vividly presents a rational portrayal of Indian village life. Raag Darbari is lodged in the village called Shivpalganj. The action takes place over a period of 6 months during which Rangnath; a research student comes to stay with his uncle to recuperate after an illness. This work exposes the helplessness of intellectuals in the face of a powerful and corrupt nexus between police, politicians, criminals and businessmen prevailing in the society. The novel is a sardonic take on the predicament of a common man as society is made deferential by the corruption of people in power. “Vaidyaji is the power-center of the village, from the college to the co-operative to the panchayat, and the darbar in the title is his Darbar, though the darbari’s often worn a vest and underpants”. The author unlike other Hindi novelists does not prate about the agony in villages or espouse a sympathetic tone but he uses a satirical tone to foreground raging corruption in politics, education system and bureaucracy of the village. |
