Corruption in government, hypocrisy in religion, avaricious greed in business: these are some of the targets of Kshemendra's one-thousand-year-old satires. So are superstition and sexual obsession, anomalies in education and a host of other ills of the time. Written by a celebrated name in classical Sanskrit literature, these little known expos's of fourteenth-century society find resonance in the Indian subcontinent even today.
