Books - Mastram

Mastram is not a good author by any conventional literary metric. He is a historical artifact — a product of a sexually repressed, pre-digital, Hindi-speaking society. His books are important to study, not to enjoy. If you want quality Hindi erotica, look elsewhere (e.g., some short stories by Kamleshwar or even parts of Chandrakanta Santati ). If you want sociology, Mastram is a goldmine.

Mastram is the nom de plume of a highly popular, yet anonymous, Hindi-language erotic fiction writer. Active primarily from the 1990s through the 2010s, his real identity remains unknown, though he is widely believed to be a retired government clerk from a small town in North India (possibly Uttar Pradesh or Madhya Pradesh). mastram books
