It is an attainment for the Hindi Literature that at the very initial
times of its journey, it got a deft painter of human mind like Munshi
Premchand. As a story writer Munshi Premchand had become a legend in his
own life time. The themes of his stories are rooted to the rural life
with urban social life appearing as the contrast to illustrate a
complete picture of contemporary life. They also effected the foundation
of a new philanthropic heritage of welfare of society. His distinctive
style and content are deeply steeped in the hardcore of reality. In view
of variety of topics, he, as though, has encompassed the entire sky of
humane world into his fold, and are generally based upon some
inspiration or experience. Each of Munshi Premchand's stories unravels
many sides of human mind, streaks of human's conscience, the evils in
some societal practices and heterogeneous angles of economic tortures.
His stories are the strongest assets of our literature, thus are still
relevant today, as much as they were five decades ago. His stories have
been translated in almost all the languages of India and world.
