Premchand Nama

This play is based upon Premchand`s stories.

Premchand is considered the first Hindi author whose writings prominently featured realism. His stories describe the problems of the poor and the urban middle-class. His works depict a rationalistic outlook, which views religious values as something that allows the powerful hypocrites to exploit the weak.

He used literature for the purpose of arousing public awareness about national and social issues and often wrote about topics related to corruption, child widowhood, prostitution, feudal system, poverty, colonialism and on the Indian independence movement.
