Andher Nagari – The City of Darkness: Amar Chitra Katha Vol. 802 (P)

Step into Bharatendu Harishchandra’s Andher Nagari, one of Hindi literature’s greatest satirical masterpieces, brought vividly to life by Amar Chitra Katha. When a disciple discovers a bizarre town where sweets and vegetables cost the same, he eagerly settles there—despite his guru’s warnings. What follows is a sharp and witty exploration of chaos, corruption, and blind governance.

Written in 1881, Harishchandra’s play remains timeless, symbolizing a society where justice and logic have vanished under poor leadership. The phrase “Andher Nagari Chaupat Raja”—“in the city of darkness, the king is insane”—continues to describe the perils of misrule even today.

Ideal for readers aged 6 and above, this comic introduces young readers to an enduring classic that blends humor, wisdom, and social insight.
