Oh, you didn't know? Google it! The story's theme is 'Dark is the nation and insane the king.' It highlights how, under an incapable and insane ruler, the nation and its systems fall into chaos.
According to google:
This is a famous Hindi proverb derived from the play "Andheri Nagri", written by Bharatendu Harishchandra. The phrase is often used to criticize poor governance, corruption, or chaotic systems where everything is out of balance.
The line "Take ser bhaji, take ser khaja" refers to a place where everything—whether it's vegetables (bhaji) or sweets (khaja)—is sold at the same price (one ser each, an old Indian unit of weight). It symbolizes absurd equality, reflecting a dysfunctional economy where resources are mismanaged and nothing holds its true value.
