Premchand biography in hindi wikipedia
•
Prem Chand is among the greatest short-story writers and Novel-writers of both Urdu and Hindi languages. The adherents of Hindi-literature call him ‘Upanyas Samrat’, that is the king of novel writing. What he wrote in his nearly year literary career bears the stamp of a communal togetherness. There is no precedent in Urdu fiction for the intense patriotism that is evident in his writings. He was so obsessed with the freedom movement that he resigned from his good job of 20 years, which he had obtained after a long period of poverty and hardship, in response to Mahatma Gandhi's "non-cooperation" movement. His writings provide vivid images of the social and political life of the early years of the twentieth century. He took his characters from everyday life and made these ordinary characters extremely special with his brilliant storytelling and captivating expression. Prem Chand's sense of woman's greatness, femininity and respect for her rights is also not found anywhere

Er gilt als Pionier des zeitgenössischen Urdu- und Hindiromans.
Premchand war ein vielseitiger und sehr fruchtbarer Autor; in zahlreichen Kurzgeschichten, Theaterstücken, Filmscripts, Übersetzungen, Essays und Romanen behandelt er Themen und Probleme des indischen Alltags seiner Zeit, sowohl in der Stadt als auch auf dem Land: Armut, Verschuldung, Korruption, Landverteilung, Kasten- und Religionsvorurteile und Kolonialismus.
