Nasurddin Hodja

Nasruddin Hodja was believed to have been a Sufi who lived in the 13th Century Seljuq Empire. He is considered as one of the most renowned philosophers for his thousands of stories that have elements of fun, foolishness, satire, wisdom and wit. His stories are translated into many languages across the world. This book compiled by Luis is a collection of such stories that convey moral messages of one sort or the other. They were also featured in the famous children magazine Tinkle at some point in time or the other. These stories have moved and travelled among many cultures of the world. Although they seem to be humorous on the surface, they conceal hard and poignant truths and moral in many subtle layers. They have been told by many contemporary philosophers and saints even to the present day. Nasruddin Hodja Rides Again! has been published by Amar Chitra Katha.

Hodja is a witty man who is disliked by many of his enemies. His rivals always try to put him in a spot, but Hodja turns the tables on them because of his true wit and cheeky ways, with the stories bearing a relationship to Birbal.
