Eulogised as the ‘Upanyas Samrat’, Premchand has continued to be one of the seminal figures of Hindi writing canon. His texts put forth the realities of his contemporary twentieth century milieu and raises important questions of caste, class, societal, disjunct, et al. With more than three hundred short stories, a multitude of essays, letters, plays, and translations, Premchand’s significance to Indian literature and its rendezvous with uniquely Indian themes remains unparalleled. This collection is expressive of Premchand’s idiosyncratic literary skills as the texts put forth Premchand’s artistic investiveness coupled with his stark critique of social and cultural injustices. The flair, thematic, brilliance, grassroot level linguistics and enamouring storytelling reactily capture the reader’s attention as they foray into the literary world created by the writer.
