MUNSHI PREMCHAND is one of the most important writers of the Hindi-Urdu canon. His prolif ic writing contributed largely to shape the genre of the short story as we know it in India. His range and diversity were limitless as he tackled themes of romance and satire, gender politics and social inequality, with unmatched skill and compassion. Premchand’s love for the countryside is evident in his fictional and non-fictional writings. Nonetheless, he understood that the seeming idyllic village life was ridden with its own issues. This carefully curated collection brings together some of his best short stories on Indian village life, which he used as an opportunity to critique social issues such as moral bankruptcy, caste injustices, money woes, and blind faith.
