Srinivas Das’s novel, published in 1882, was titled Pariksha-Guru (The Master Examiner).
The main theme of the novel was that it showcased the pros and cons of colonial modernity
It was expected for the society to take caution against the dangerous influences of bad company and consequent loose morals. Pariksha-Guru reflects the inner and outer world of the newly emerging middle classes. The characters in the novel are caught in the difficulty of adapting to colonised society and at the same time preserving their own cultural identity. The novel tries to teach the reader the ‘right way’ to live and expects all ‘sensible men’ to be worldly-wise and practical, to remain rooted in the values of their own tradition and culture, and to live with dignity and honour.
Pariksha Guru was too moralising in its style, hence could not win many readers.

The novel Pariksha Guru was not so popular because...it consisted of many moral and ethical values which could not be read by the modernising youth of that time...
