Never has he ever written a novel which does not show actual Indian society and the conditions that existed that time. Premchand’s novel were never showy and out of realism. This small brief must have been helpful in showing the portrait of Premchand. His ups and downs are shown so beautifully bthat his novel as been converted into plays and movies and even short scripts in the textbooks. Every day of his was like god’s blessing until his younger brother kills the cow in jealousy. Later, he somehow manages to buy a cow and all his life goals were completed. Godaan is about a man, protagonist, Hori who always wanted to have a cow in his garden. Godaan can also be seen as the key to Munshi Premchand’s worldwide success and fame. Godaan is the last completed novel of Premchand and has been converted into English and Russian. The excerpts from his boos have been read in almost every state board and central board textbooks of India. It got so attached to his name that people could call him the writer of Godaan still now. His father even remarried and all his feelings about this can be easily seen in his work.Īlthough written many novels that have unmatched view of Indian society, Premchand wrote Godaan that became a trademark novel for him. This loneliness in his life helped him a lot in writing some spectacular novels later on. His elder sister was married and father was always busy in his work. Premchand lived an isolated life because of early death of his mother. Munshi Premchand has written more than 300 stories and some notable novels that are considered best novels ever written in India and worldwide. Writing by the pen name of Premchand, his real name was Dhanpat Rai and he used to sign his books by his real name only. He is the most popular and celebrated writer of India.
