Author Murzban F Shroff has been taken to court for a character in his book using the word ghati to describe Marathi-speaking residents
Murzban F Shroff, who wrote a book of short stories called Breathless in Bombay, nominated for the 2009 Commonwealth Prize, has been taken to court for a character in his book using the word ghati to describe Marathi-speaking residents. Activist Vijay Mudras has filed a case, saying this “lowers the reputation and image of Maharashtrians”. Shroff says his book was intended to “sensitise the haves to the have-nots around them”.
