Utopia / Dystopia

[Ashok Aklujkar]

For Utopia, you should also take into consideration the description of Alaka
in the latter half of Kaali-daasa's Megha-sande;sa or Megha-duuta. As a
place situated in the Himaalaya's and as an ever-happy place, it could have
been the source for James Hilton's _Lost Horizon_.
