MUNSHI PREMCHAND is one of the most important writers of the HindiβUrdu 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 wrote widely about life in the city in the India of his time. In fact, his fictional corpus, if read uncritically, would lend itself to an easy binary between country and city life. This collection attempts to break away from this binary to bring to light the nuance in his understanding of city life.
