Answer 2

A versatile Hindi novelist on par with the great Munshi Premchand, Pandit Sudarshan was a part of Indian cinema during the early 30s. Here's a look at the writer who shaped some classic studio-era films and enhanced the role of literature in Hindi cinema.

For readers, and aspiring writers, in the Hindi language, Munshi Premchand remains the ever present North star. However, despite his fame and his immaculate ability to translate every day life into engaging stories, Premchand never managed to make an impact on to the most effective medium of storytelling- cinema. His one attempt at screenwriting, 'Mazdoor' in 1938, would be scrapped and lost forever. In the same time, another famous novelist was making inroads through the Indian film industry. His name was Badrinath Sharma.

Born in 1896, in Sialkot, Badrinath Sharma was the son of a rich zamindar. Having completed his BA in literature, he started writing for an Urdu journal “Hazaar Dastaan'. Taking up the pen name, Pandit Sudarshan, he scripted several short stories and novels that would translate the intrigues and sorrows of Indian villages for audiences around the country. His short story, Haar ki Jeet, speaks about the struggles of a farmer trying to protect his horse from a greedy dacoit. But life as a writer was not easy. Struggling to make ends meet, he moved to Calcutta in search of a new horizon. The era of the talkies had just begun. Indian cinema was entering one of its most glorious dawns. It was under these circumstances that Pandit Sudarshan took up writing for films.
