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