I don't know if I've got the definition wrong but I always thought 'erotica' meant stuff that was designed to turn someone on. 

Thanks for that. You are right. Based on the definition below, erotica would be a wrong term to use for the Charitars.

Definition (Cambridge Dictionary):

books, pictures, etc. that produce sexual desire and pleasure

 

Bhul chuk maaf

well one can't deny that erotica makes up a part of the granth alongside those other Things that are mentioned.

No. Erotica is designed to sexually stimulate someone. CharitroPakhyan is definitely not created to do this. Nidar writing it as such is just giving more ammo to those who call the stories pornography, when it clearly isn't.

Oops my bad. I was thinking of eroticism. The content , not in terms of what it invokes in people. 

Does the CP qualify as shingaar ras according to the braj basha parameters ?

There is a difference between literature containing sexual references and erotica.

According to the definition below, Charitars would be classified as Erotic literature.

books, pictures, etc. having to do with or intended to arouse sexual feelings or desires

It is only online, however I have heard once the 8 volumes are released, there might be hard copies. However who knows how long.

Could you please provide pdf? I was reading it on scribd, but now it’s deleted. Already half read, if you have the book please provide thanks a lot.

Veer ji could you send me the pdf? I have read half the book on Scribd, silly me I didn’t bother to download it at that time. Now I regret it and couldn’t find it anywhere. Really appreciate if you could help. Thanks dhanvaad
