The Literary Club of the Asiatic Society of Mumbai is pleased to announce a presentation of a collection of stories titled “On Ills and Crime” by our Member, Shridhar Naik, on Monday 20th March 2023 at 5 pm in the Durbar Hall of the Society.

Each of these stories deals with a pressing issue of the time, like minor boys being sexually exploited, youth fired by unrealistic idealism, misguided youth ending up as terrorists, the elderly abandoned by their children, politicians exploiting tragedies for their own selfish ends, etc.
These topics and many more find expression through the medium of fiction, well portrayed by the author. The stories bring to light the ugly truths that are prevalent in society which many of us choose to ignore.

Shridhar Naik has a Master’s degree in History from Mumbai University. He has had stints with leading publications in the print media as well as with leading P.R. Agencies. Currently, he is a visiting lecturer for Journalism and Media in various colleges in Mumbai.

Please join us in listening to what the author has to say about these problems. Shridhar Naik will be in conversation with Shraddha Kamdar, Deputy Editor, Femina.

We look forward to your participation in this discussion.

Tea will be served at 4.30 pm.
