Heya !!

• Premchand was one of the greatest literary figures of moderm Hindi and Urdu literature. Premchand's characters created community based on democratic values. Premchand's novels, for instance, were filled with all kinds of powerful characters drawn from all levels of society like aristocrats and landlords, middle level peasants and landless labourers, middle class professionals and people from all margins of society.

• Before Premchand, Hindi literature was confined to the tales, the stories of magical powers and other such escapist fantasies.

• His novel Sewasadan discusses the lives of ordinary people and social issues. It deals with the poor condition of women in society. Issues like child marriage and dowry are woven into the story of the novel. It also tells about the ways in which Indian upper classes used whatever little opportunities they get from colonial authorities to govern themselves.

• The central character of his novel Rangbhoomi, Surdas, is a visually impaired beggar from a so called untouchable caste. The very act of choosing such a person as the hero of a novel is significant. It makes the lives of most oppressed section of society as worthy literary reflection.

• Godan published in 1936, remains Premchand's best known work. The novel tells the moving story of Hori and Dhania, a peasant couple. Landlords, money lenders, priests and colonial bureaucrats. All those who hold powers in society form a network of oppression, rob their land and make them into landless labourers. Yet Hori and Dhania retain dignity to the end.

Hope my ans.'s satisfactory.
