Gaurav Gatha-E-09-Munsi Premchand

Munsi Premchand

Munshi Premchand, whose name in real life was Dhanpatrai, is one of the most honoured literary figures of our country. He achieved the rare distinction of being a great writer in both Urdu and Hindi.
Premchand wrote nearly a dozen novels and 300 short stories. Most of his writings are about the poor-the people he knew well enough, having seen poverty himself. He was a revolutionary thinker and eloquent champion of the struggling people. He hit out against injustice in every form. He stood by the peasant and the worker against the exploiter, by the Harijan against the hypo- critical priest, and by the helpless woman against the social tyrant. Poor peasants, exploited workers, oppressed women and suppressed untouchables entered the Indian literature for the first time in Premchand's works.
Premchand wrote at a time when India's struggle for freedom was at its height. He kindled the fire of patriotism in the hearts of his countrymen, inculcated in them political and social consciousness, and roused them to make sacrifices for the cause of national freedom. Premchand's works have been translated into several languages, Indian as well as foreign, and some of them are comparable with the world's best literary creations. Jugesh Narula
