Question

Eidgah is one of the Premchand's most popular stories . What do you think​

Answer 1

Answer:

Eidgah’, written by Premchand during his days in Gorakhpur and published in 1938 after his death, narrates how the boy overcomes his craving for toys and sweets during a visit to an Eidgah fair on Eid and uses his pocket money (Idi) to buy a pair of tongs (‘chimta’) as he had often seen his grandmother burn her fingers while making ‘rotis’.

“It is absolutely true that Premchand wrote ‘Eidgah’ after conceiving the idea from Gorakhpur’s Eidgah fair. The story is of a child who is small but his thoughts are big. It gives us an insight into child psychology in an interesting manner,” said Prof Deepak Tyagi at the department of Hindi, Deen Dayal Upadhyay Gorakhpur University.
