Late Mr. Anil Chandra Thakur is a distinguished name in the literary circles of Hindi, Maithili, English and Angika languages. With many published books to his credit, he has established himself as a voice for the meek, the mute, and the marginalized sections of Indian society. His writings often portray the harsh realities of rural life, highlighting the struggles of innocent and gentle yet illiterate masses who, even after decades of independence in India, continue to face exploitation by local landlords and moneylenders—the true leeches of society. 

Anil Chandra Thakur's debut novel, The Puppets, is a poignant narrative that delves into the sorrows of rural India, painting a painful melody of the lives lived in the shadows of oppression. Beyond his literary pursuits, Thakur served as an officer in a Regional Rural Bank, where he contributed to society through his profession and his passion for freelance writing. His work is not only a reflection of his deep connection with the characters and communities he writes about but also a testament to his commitment to bringing their stories to the forefront.
