Abstract
Rich like us (1985) is Nayantara Sahgal’s best novel. This novel won the Sinclair Prize and Sahitya Akademi Award. It presents the political picture of India between 1975-76 the time her cousin Indira Gandhi declared a state of National Emergency and assumed absolute power for about twenty months. Sahgal shows the emergency was not something that happened overnight, it was the consequence of the slow erosion of moral values, which had set in, among the civil servants and the people at large, after independence.
