“Premashram” is a powerful social reform novel by Munshi Premchand, one of the greatest literary figures of modern Hindi-Urdu literature. First published in 1922, this novel boldly addresses the themes of landlordism, class oppression, judicial injustice, and moral conflict in colonial India.At its heart, Premashram explores the struggles of peasants and the cruelty of zamindari (landowner) systems, while also portraying the emotional turmoil of individuals caught between duty, love, and ethical choices. Premchand’s deeply empathetic writing makes this novel a timeless mirror of India’s rural society and its silent revolution.
