January Night by Munshi Premchand

(January night) is a story of a tenant farmer named Halku and his plight against zameendari system (land lordship) prevalent in colonial India. The settings are that of any small village of north India in and around U.P. of that time.

Halku's fields are the centreline of this plot, being both, his only source of income as well as cause of all his problems. Basically he had to choose between a blanket which got along with it the insult by the landlord for not paying the lagaan (tax) or cold and chilly January nights in the field to guard it upholding his honour and pride. He always had an option of chucking the job of farming and being a paid labour, but an Indian with any pride wouldn't do so in those times. He upheld the same honour and pride by chucking the insults and choosing cold chilly nights in 'his fields'.

Most of us have a romantic image of a field ready for a harvest. But here when he lies down over his 'khaat' (cot) with just an old shawl over him, brings out a completely opposite image of what we conceived it to be. Then too he wasn't devasted and was still affectionate towards his dog, Jabra, the dog who like him left behind all the warmth of home and followed him to protect 'its field'. The field establishes the connection between a dog and its master in a wonderful way. As the writer describes Halku sleeping under the shelter of cane leaves he also meant to show the significance those crops held. They were the shelter of his life, though with leakage everywhere.

The act of making a fire to keep a check on cold waves in an open field creates a wonderful picture in our mind. Here it is the only refuge for Halku against the cold waves. Even his own fields had turned against him in the darkness of night and transformed into scary and dangerous bushes. When the nilgai were destroying his field, he knew it, but couldn't gather the will to get up and save it. It seemed that it was because of the physical inability that the cold weather had caused to him but more of it was because of the mental effect that the fields have had over his life. It was like loving someone. We hold on to the relationship as long as possible, even though if we know it's devastating our life. But the moment we decide to quit it we just don't bother about it anymore or how bad the relationship becomes. We just 'let it happen' and take its course. And if we are enthusiastic enough towards life we take it as a new beginning and tackle the future with the learning's from past

Answer:

Night of January 16th (sometimes advertised as The Night of January 16th) is a theatrical play by Russian-American author Ayn Rand, inspired by the death of the "Match King", Ivar Kre uger. Set in a courtroom during a murder trial, an unusual feature of the play is that members of the audience are chosen to play the jury. The court hears the case of Karen Andre, a former secretary and lover of businessman Bjorn Faulkner, of whose murder she is accused. The play does not directly portray the events leading to Faulkner's death; instead the jury must rely on character testimony to decide whether Andre is guilty. The play's ending depends on the verdict. Rand's intention was to dramatize a conflict between individualism and conformity, with the jury's verdict revealing which viewpoint they preferred.
