But Sadashiv is no ordinary Good Samaritan. Slowly, he comes to be at one with the people he helps, rejoicing in their happiness and grieving in their sorrow. An on the way, as he goes from market to market, from bazaar to bazaar, seeing to his rustic patients and mixing with them as aonly a true friends can, we encounter an amazing gallery of characters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBonophul sketches each of them in vivid tones, sometimes with a touch of humour, sometimes with a hint of pathos, but always with great humanism. The good, the bad, the ugly-they are all there in this story, and set against the backdrop of Sadashiv’s clear-eyed altruism, they offer a picture of India as it was in the first few years after independence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Balaichand Mukhopadhyay \/ Sahitya Akademi \/ Hardcover","offer_id":40783089369257,"sku":"18228","price":11.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/1048\/4393\/products\/18228.jpg?v=1625496758","url":"https:\/\/indiaclub.com\/de\/products\/18228-in-and-around-the-marketplace","provider":"India Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
