Bheedtantra, a collection of short stories by the noted Hindi novelist and playwright Asghar Wajahat, exhorts to its listeners: What is preferable, democracy or mobocracy? Decide! Asghar Wajahat ​​is probably the sole writer of Hindi who can fuse satire, ridicule, and compassion together in the story with assured nonchalance. Sadat Hasan Manto is considered to be a magician of this craft in Urdu, but in Hindi it is undoubtedly Asghar Wajahat. He is the one of the rare ones who sees today’s democracy this way.

Asghar Wajahat, who has made a fresh start in Hindi with his travelogues, likes to fashion himself as a social tourist. He does not simply write dry, matter-of-fact descriptions of the places he visits; instead he tries to capture the cultural diversity and colours that life in those places offers. In this way, Ashghar Wajahat makes the listeners join him in these journeys. In Ateet Ka Darwaza, he takes his listeners to the nomadic life in Jordan in Central Asia, the Marmaroash region of Romania-Hungary region in Europe, and in Mexico in South America.
