Publisher's Synopsis

A delightful caper through colonial Bihar, Fool Bahadur by Jayanath Pati is a humorous reflection on the state's erstwhile society and bureaucracy-told through the story of a young law officer, who hustles his way through the bureaucratic corridors to win the coveted British title of Rai Bahadur. The first-ever translation of this forgotten Magahi novel into English by Abhay K. is a tour de force that will leave you chuckling at the characters dotting its intriguing plot.
