Dark Secrets of Khushinagar

Sanjeet Mhatre who runs an education project in Khushinagar, a well-established slum, finds himself drawn into the issues and problems that add true flavour to the lives of the residents. Ese problems include dealing with crimes like rape, murder, human tracking and gang wars. On the brighter side are happier moments like jointly celebrating festivals, providing mutual support in times of need, and the strong bonding and harmony among the residents irrespective of caste, creed or community which helps maintain peace when riots are raging all around. The novel in its inimitable style grips the attention of the readers, as it takes them through a journey of gripping, suspense-filled moments combined with moments of joy and hope, a journey which interestingly portrays both the good and the evil that goes on side by side behind the scenes in the day to day life of the slum.
