Katz studies The Children of Assi, as a self-identifiable Banarasi, with such attributes as 'Masti, Phakkarpan ard Akkharpar,' often assigned to Shiva, The God of bliss, a City of cultural pluralism; a city of affluence and grinding poverty; with Three religions and Four cultures forming the 'Nilakantha, syndrome', having supreme confidence that nothing could destroy its masti and phakkarpan .
