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. Remembering Premchand on his 140th birth anniversary today, we list down some of his best short stories which everyone should read.
Munshi Premchand The story has been originally written under the Hindi title "Sadgati" which literally means a good death. But the title is quite ironic and through the story Premchand has been successful in criticizing and satirizing Hindu society and its prejudiced norms.
Deliverance (Sadgati)
Dukhi, the tanner was sweeping the door front, and his wife, Jhuria, was plastering the floor with cow dung. After they were done with their chores, the chamarin said, 'Go now and speak to Pandit Baba, lest he should go somewhere else. Dukhi said, "Yes, I'm going, but think where we would seat him.' Jhuria said, We'll borrow a cot from someone. Get it from the Thakurs.' "Sometimes you say things that make my blood boil. Why would the Thakurs lend me a cot? They don't lend us even fire for lighting, and you expect them to lend us a cot! If I ask for water at the house of a Kaistha, I won't get it. No question of getting a cot. It's not like our dung cakes, reed stems, straw and wood; which anyone one can pinch. Let's wash our own cot. Being summer, it'll dry up before he comes.'
