HEY MATE HERE IS YOUR ANSWER

(i) Caste system : Many novelist like Potheri Kunjambu, Advaita Malla Burman, Munshi Premchand wrote exclusively on the caste system prevailing in the Indian society. They wrote how the depressed classes were being exploited by the Britishers and by the Indian people themselves.

(ii) Westernisation of Indian culture : Many novels like Pariksha Guru reflects the inner and outer world of the newly emerging middle classes. The characters in the novel are caught in the difficulty of adapting to colonised society and at the same time preserving their own cultural identity. The world of colonial modernity seems to be both frightening and irresistible to the characters. The novel tries- to teach the reader the ‘right way’ to live and expects all ‘sensible men’ to be worldly-wise and practical, to remain rooted in the values of their own tradition and culture, and to live with dignity and honour.

(iii) Communities based on democratic values : Novelist like Munshi Premchand highlighted the need to create a community based on democratic values.
