MAKING OF BABAJI INC. Paperback

Generate Audio OverviewShravya Bhinder's "Making of Babaji Inc." is a satirical novel that offers a humorous and often thought-provoking take on the phenomenon of self-proclaimed godmen and the role of superstition in modern Indian society. The story follows Billu, a middle-class bank cashier whose life takes an unexpected and comical turn after he loses a substantial amount of money belonging to a wealthy customer. Convinced by his superstitious wife, Pammi, Billu reluctantly seeks advice from a local 'Babaji,' setting off a chain of events that leads him on a distinctly accidental journey into the world of spiritual charlatanism. The book wittily explores how logic can be overshadowed by blind faith and how seemingly ridiculous "solutions" offered by such figures can become the last resort for their devotees, providing a critical yet amusing look at human psychology and herd mentality.
