14. Ek Gaubhakt Se Bhent by Harishankar Parsai

(Audio Timestamps below) This satire by Harishankar Parsai is an attack on how the political parties try to gain mileage out of sensitive religious issues by taking help of some corrupt Godmen. Originally written in 1968, this satirical piece seems more relevant than ever in today's communally charged atmosphere, keeping in mind the many deplorable instances of violence due to the same context recently. The relevance of truly great writer never goes away and Harishankar Parsai's razor sharp wit shows us just that.
