Just finished reading Godaan - feels so empty without it. I waited each day to see what Hori is up to and how will he deal with his next problem. It ended a bit dramatically and that gave it the touch of “Happy Ending”. In any other novel this would have taken the charm away, but in Godan I can forgive the author. Every moment I read the novel, I craved to give away a 100 rupee note to Hori and tell him “go get your cow my dear”! And also to see the happiness on his face while he fed his kids with cow milk every day – if only he could.
We live in a different world. It’s a “far far away fairly kingdom” we live in.
Hori and many other likes of him continue to suffer. Certainly giving away money is no way to help, but even a small amount of awareness in how to deal with loans, would make a lot of difference.
The trouble is how the hell Indian people will even know about these issues when all the reachable modes of communication do not talk about it. Television Media is a lost hope and the bookstores I go to have the tiniest section for Hindi novels and that too is filled with the translated works of novels by English authors. It is such an amazing fact that there are multiple novels on India up for sale, but they are all written by Western writers. Hardly will I find any novel by an Indian writer on India!
