Malgudi Days

As I sat in a room nibbling at my pen and wondering what to write, Malgudi with its little railway station swam into view, all ready-made, with a character called Swaminathan running down the platform.”

Marked by simplicity and a subtle humour, R.K. Narayan told stories of ordinary people trying to live their simple lives in a changing world.

These 34 books perfectly capture the Indian State/UT they are set in, making them a great way of embarking on a bit of armchair travel across India!

This award-winning series was directed by Shankar Nag and based on the works of one of India's most famous English writers - R K Narayan. Rajshri, the company that bought the rights of this series, has now put this entire series up on YouTube! So you can now revisit the charming world of Malgudi once again. Check it out!
