Godan”, the magnum opus of Munshi Premchand, is hailed as one of the greatest Hindi novels ever written. A profound portrayal of rural Indian life, this novel captures the struggles, hopes, and harsh realities faced by farmers and the lower classes under a feudal and exploitative system.Through the life of Hori, a poor farmer with dreams of owning a cow, Premchand paints a deeply empathetic and realistic picture of poverty, caste injustice, corruption, and social hypocrisy. Rich in human emotions and sharp in its social commentary, Godan remains a timeless classic of Indian social realism that resonates across generations.
