Explanation:
Today we are celebrating 135th anniversary of Munshi Premchand (31 July, 1880), an Indian writer well renowned for his modern Hindi-Urdu literature. I am pleased to share a heart touching story written by him.

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.’
