munsi premchand story's
Answer:
Premchand is universally considered one of the greatest writers of modern India. He wrote both in Urdu and in Hindi and is acclaimed as a master storyteller in both languages.
There was no short story in Urdu before Premchand. The novel, though known, was based on the romances and adventures of medieval patriarchs. Premchand brought it out of the world of dreamland and fantasy and introduced it to the realities of contemporary life. The princes and fairies gave way to ordinary men and women engaged in the struggle for existence. Premchand imparted to Urdu fiction an originality, a sympathetic treatment and a social and political awareness. He depicted with stark realism the tragedy and pathos of rural India. He showed a deep sympathy for the masses in their misery and poverty, for the saw beneath their squalor a certain dignity and worth and regard for humanity. He, like Turgenev, was above all a realist and was chiefly interested in the living truth of the human race. With Premchand, Urdu fiction became a product of the soil.
Premchand wrote a bald, simple, factual prose. His language is neither the elegant Urdu not the high-flown Hindi. Instead he used common core Hindustani, the speech of millions in upper India, and a medium particularly suited to his themes.
