Answers
Answer:
One of the greatest Indian writers of the early 20th century, Munshi Premchand was born on July 31, 1880 as Dhanpat Rai Shrivastava. A simple man, Premchand's stories are a reflection of the society during his time. His stories are known for their beautiful portrayal of complex human emotions . He is the first Hindi writer who introduced realism in his stories as he wrote fictional tales with a social purpose. Though he started writing under the pen-name Nawab Rai, he soon switched to Premchand, a name which is popular with many readers even today-- more than 80 years after his death. Premchand has written roughly 300 short stories, many novels, essays, plays and letters, and translated a few foreign works into Hindi, thus aptly being called the Upanyas Samrat by other literary authors. Over the years, his works have been translated into many languages.
