Kedar Chatujjye is yet another immortal creation of the legendary humorist Rajshekhar Basu alias Parashuram in the annals of the comic genres in Bengali literature. Portrayed as the quintessential country dweller in pre-independent Bengal, Kedar Chatujjye represented the rustic old Brahmin, who typified the semi-literate religious bigot. Chatujjye was self-convinced about his innate racial superiority, the repertoire of anecdotes, and bravery but timidly accepted the preconceived notion of the vaunted social status of the fair-skinned foreigners, whom he considered naturally discerning and class worthy. For Chatujjye, the proof of social ascendency and individual pride lay in becoming the willful confidant of the fair-skinned foreigners irrespective of the former's Pidgin English or lack of genteel etiquettes.
Join the laugh riot of one such roller-coaster train ride that Chatujjye narrated to his clans to bring home his point on his universal social appeal and charm through one such invigorating anecdote of a village gossip on a monsoon evening. A must-have from the mighty pen of the legendary Rajshekhar Basu.
