This is a realistic, though satiric, take on present-day Indian bureaucrats - bodiceripped and in the buff. They are not quite the persona they pretend to the genteel outer world: shameless, corrupt, mean and pettifogging, yet believing in blatant self-promotion to climb up the greasy bureaucratic totem pole through acoustics and cosmetics - all with precious tax-payers' money. Yet a little peeling off the epidermis and you get to see the visibles: bureaucratic siliconism and kleptostyle king-size living.
Talking turkey and with an openness that would shock and provoke, infuriate and frustrate, Sudhansu Mohanty lays on these practitioners of India Corruption Shining with the passion of a zealot in a suggestive yet mordant style. The tenor betrays the same subtle wit, shafted epigrams and barbed innuendoes of his earlier book Babudom: Catacombs of Indian Bureaucracy, and even seeks to carry it a step forward.
