THE NEW AGE OF BAKASUR

The New Age of Bakasur begins when two young boys, Pradeep and Ravi, arrive
in Delhi from Bhopal to spend a week with their uncle, Shekhar. They admire
Shekhar for his relentless crusade against corruption. A well-respected police
official, Shekhar has exposed several scams involving the rich and the powerful
using innovative sting operations.
As Pradeep and Ravi explore Delhi, their illusions about it being a model
metropolis are shattered. They are stuck in traffic jams and stranded on
flooded streets. They spot garbage-strewn stretches in the heart of the
capital. Official apathy and the glaring divide between the rich and the poor
stare them in the face. When they turn to Shekhar for answers, he explains
how corruption has infected every aspect of governance like a deadly virus.
Unscrupulous public figures-modern-day 'Bakasurs'-who swindle people
and amass illegal wealth have become the biggest threat to the nation.
Shekhar shares many real-life examples of dishonest practices, which he
has come across. These symptomize the rot across India. Shekhar shares his
experiences with Ravi and Pradeep hoping to motivate them to become
drivers of change and join forces with likeminded youngsters to vanquish
today's Bakasurs and save the country from the scourge of corruption.
Urgent, racy and often witty, this novel will strike a chord with every
concerned reader invested in the future of India
