Moral Degeneration in the novels of Manohar Malgonkar

Manohar Malgonkar shares with most of his predecessors and contemporary novelists the depiction of immediate socio-political scenario marked by exasperation at the crippling creed which fetters people. He lays bare the machination of post-independence crop of professional politicians and unscrupulous leaders. Another unpalatable aspect of post –independence reality captured authentically by Malgonkar is the spreading tentacles of bureaucracy under the guise of democracy.
