Academics
Have you ever met a good-for-nothing person? Say hello to Krishna, a Brahmin by birth, who leaves his home Madai, a quaint hamlet in Chhattisgarh plateau, at the age of 32 with no goal to pursue. Pure hearted, his scant-educated mind is muddled with the invisible walls of religion, caste, and creed. Jobless and ambitionless, everyone thinks he is good for nothing. In come his eventful associations with Jamil?a fellow vendor, Shivani?a widow, Ankur?a young entrepreneur, and Shambhu?a tribal youth and social reformer. Barriers are broken, things are learned and unlearned, and a transformation begins. Does Krishna become any good? And, does the world change its opinion? \n
Debaprasad Mukherjee, a medical doctor by profession, and a litterateur at heart, was born in 1959 in a nondescript town of Orissa (now Odisha) in India. Though an ardent follower of various literary forms, his own works started surfacing only about 10 years back. He has seven publications so far. Now settled at the city of Bilaspur (Chhattisgarh) in India, he came in contact with various facets and facades of human life, both as a doctor and as a keen observer, only to be pained time and again. Human apathy to each other, the division of religion, colour, class, and cult keeps disturbing him. His books reflect similar ideas. As far as ideology is concerned, he is non-compromising. The author belongs to a rare breed that believes love and sympathy can break all the man-made barriers. Although he doesn't have a large fan following, he trusts those realise his ideas to spread it on. For him, it's not name or fame; it is the idea that matters.
