The story of the vendor of sweets, Jagan and his exclusive child Mali, depicts the contention between the Eastern culture and the Western culture. Jagan, from the nonexistent town Malgudi in South India is the encapsulation of conventions while his child is enthusiastic about investigating current thoughts and globalization. Consequently the relationship gets to be strained and nearly non-existent between the father and the child.
The plot has additionally investigated the excellencies of marriage and religious power over the villagers of Malgudi, extraordinarily on Jagan. Its a decent run of the mill R.K.Narayan book. As a 14year old, I enjoyed it upto a specific degree. In any case, not that great that I’ll re-read it . In the event that I’ve to get a book, it most likely won’t be this one.
