Description:
This is a story of the contrast between good and evil, suave and boorish, peace and violence, and so on, in India. The story tries to analyze why and how so much beauty and honor can exist next to ugliness and wickedness. Perhaps that is why there will always be an India.
The motivation for writing "The Case of the Touch Artist" came to me after reading in the newspaper of the account of the extreme harassment that a civil servant of the Government of India had to endure at the hands of criminals-turned-politicians, as the Rajdhani Train passed through the State of Bihar, in India. There is something very unusual about what has been happening in this part of the country, that defies comprehension. It would almost be an understatement to say that there has been an absolute decay in the due process of law. For, quite some time now, there has almost been no due process of any sort, except for the politicization of criminals.
