Synopsis
Jungle Tantram is the first novel authored by Shravan Kumar Goswami. This novel portrays the socio-political fabric of our country which stirs the inner most core of the reader. Written in Panchatantra style, the novel revolves around four characters, viz. the lion, the peacock, the serpent and the mouse representing the politician, the administrator, the capitalist and the common man respectively. The lion becomes the lord of the jungle after creating a false belief that he will free the animals by defeating the erstwhile lion king. The peacock, adept in dancing to anyone's tune, is made the administrator. The serpent, endowed with a forked tongue, dorns the role of the capitalist. The mouse, who adapts to any condition of living, remains the common person.
