“Manager Babu,” a short story by Rabindranath Tagore, is a humorous and satirical exploration of the dynamics between a manager and his subordinate in a bureaucratic setting.
In this story, the protagonist, Manager Babu, is a low-level government official who wields a small amount of power over his subordinate, a clerk named Charu Babu. Despite his limited authority, Manager Babu takes great pleasure in exerting control over Charu Babu and indulging in petty displays of superiority.
