About the Book
Likhabali, a territory lying far and isolate from the mainland, gets one unsolicited guest, Baba, who became the tool of transition of the village, which bifurcated into two entities—the Dhirs, who were in the domain of Likhabali, were forced to concede division despite their protests. In the face of revolts from within, the head of village, Manab, quits the seat which succeeds by his cruel brother, Heera, becoming the head of Likha Village, and a peasant becomes the head of Bali Village, carved out of Likhabali. Both Bali and Likha were engaged in conflict with each other and taste defeats and victories alternately. A carnage of tragedy kills its head of Bali, and Gori, a girl from Adhir, whose genetic father happens to be Heera, takes over the reins of Bali. She got success to eliminate her rivals but have had to concede defeat at the hands of Beera, the new young head of Likha. He conceded her with his lovely approach, and they fought together the threats posed by draught, famine, wine, cards, and at last, the Maji Village, their long old enemy.
