Dukhe Keora by Ram Kumar Mukhopadhyay [Hardcover]

This book paints a vivid picture of Dukhe, a marginalized resident of Keora village. Once named "Dukhharan" by his mother—a name that quickly shortened to "Dukhe"—he transitioned from being an agricultural laborer to an elderly man engaged in the local liquor trade, "Kaanchi." His wife prepares the liquor, while Dukhe sells it. Despite his humble existence, Dukhe shares his views on a wide array of topics, spanning household affairs, state matters, societal dynamics, and cultural issues.
