Phakeland

Book excerpt: Phakeland is an extraordinary land inhabited by creatures that include animals, birds and insects. Everything, or almost everything, that publicly happens in Phakeland is a sham. The Rule Book that governs Phakeland is such that its spirit is continuously abused. A power-struggle is always going on among the pigs who lead the inhabitants. A family of pigs has been ruling Phakeland for last eighty years and would leave no stone unturned to continue its rule. Unknown to the animals, it is well assisted by the monkeys in its continuous quest for power. An incisive and stirring satire from the author of widely acclaimed book 'Bettors Beware' that exposed total continuous fixing in international cricket.
