Who wrote the novel Raag Darbari?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Shrilal Shukla
The satirical novel ‘Raag Darbari’, set in the village of Shivpalganj in Uttar Pradesh, was written by Shrilal Shukla.
Note: The box ‘Government Campaign reaches the village’ of the chapter ‘Politics of Planned Development’, an extract from ‘Raag Darbari’ by Shrilal Shukla, was there in the pre-rationalised NCERT; this portion has been deleted from subsequent editions of NCERT, though the chapter is still there. The box has left the book, but one quick read of it was worth five marks here.
