Indian Memsahib

Its the untold story of a bureaucrat's wife is an unconventional look into the world of Indian bureaucracy and its fascinating order. The book is an subtle attempt by the author Dr. Suchita Malik at showing how bureaucracy works in certain ways and brings out the conflict between popularity and credibility.
Indian memsahib traces the protagonist - Sunaina's journey from being an ambitious girl who wants to live life on her own terms to an outside bahu - daughter in law in a traditional family set up fighting her love battle to the trials and tribulations of becoming the wife of Raghu , an upright and honest IAS officer.
Naive and inexperienced at the outset of her life and career.Sunaiana looks at life with her own rose tinted glares and harbours great notions of living life on her own terms.Little does she know that destiny is all set to take her through the corridors of power and places where her modern outlook,ideas and fantasies are soon to be juxtaposed with conservative value systems and cold rationality.
The books makes you live through excitement,struggles,challenges,apprehensions and all the ups and downs that define the nuts and bolts of babudom and the life of a bureaucrats life in India.
