Book Summary: 

Sethji is a provocative novel by Shobhaa De that explores the clash between tradition and modernity in contemporary Indian society. The story revolves around Sethji, an elderly, conservative patriarch of a wealthy family who wields immense power and influence in his community. The narrative delves into the tensions that arise as younger generations challenge rigid social norms, especially regarding issues of gender, caste, and personal freedom. Through sharp, candid storytelling, De exposes the hypocrisies and complexities of power dynamics in India’s changing social landscape. The novel confronts themes like patriarchy, morality, and rebellion, offering an unflinching look at the price of progress and the resistance it often meets. With her trademark boldness and wit, Shobhaa De crafts a compelling tale that questions societal values and the cost of conformity.
