Shrilal Shukla, one of the greatest satirists in Hindi language was a Jnanpith awardee. A civil servant in his day job, Shukla had an upclose view of bureaucracy as well as the systemic rot that plagues it. Shukla’s acerbic, witty examination of rural life revealed a world of flummoxed villagers and petty politicians, of witty one liners that shine through the overall bleakness of village life.
