Mawali (मवाली)[1] is a Hindi language novel by Surender Mohan Pathak. It is based upon the biography of a fictional personality called Shyamrav Pethekar, better known as Sikander. The novel is set in Ahmedabad and draws an excellent and realistic portrait of Gujarat underworld, that is unknown in Hindi fiction.
There are actually two novels of same name.[2]

- ^ Just like Stephen King wrote "two" The Stands. The only difference is that in Pathak's case the name of the second avatar is different. It is Kamptaa Shahar ( कांपता शहर ). In a way this is cheating the reader, because unlike King, Pathak gives no warning to the reader that he is going to buy almost same stuff he already read years ago
