The book Decolonial Existence and Urban Sensibility: A Study on Mahesh Elkunchwar meticulously reflects upon some of the selected translated plays of Marathi playwright Mahesh Elkunchwar. It revolves around the themes of decolonial existence and urban sensibility in contemporary India as portrayed in his plays with respect to post-independent urban existence, socio-cultural existence and gender. The book also looks forward to establish a counterargument against the idealized and totalitarian definitions of West-centric existentialist philosophy, and establish indigenous dimensions of decolonial existence within specific contexts. It dismantles the colonially structured existing binaries of urban/rural, ethical/unethical and high culture/low culture through the diverse portrayal of human relationships in contemporary India and broadly addresses two inter-mingled perspectives. Firstly, it outlines the thematic and dramatic perspectives of the selected plays of Mahesh Elkunchwar and secondly, it explores the multi-dimensional philosophical perspectives that encapsulate the theoretical latitude of decoloniality and urban sensibility.

The emotional stories of the secert agents compiled in this book unveil the tragic fact that the agents mentioned therein were rewarded with hellish lives in their sunset years after they returned having ruined their youth in jails for years at length. For their livelihood, some of them had to pull rickshaws while some others had to work as labourers. Some of them were so traumatised that they lost their mental balance. But, as has been explained earlier, this is what the rule of this game is and that probably may not change in the years to come. The life of a spy is not like that of James Bond. They are just ordinary people performing extraordinary tasks. They are never required to disclose to anybody that they are secret agents, as they are not permitted to do that.
